I’ve just started using Libre 2 on free trial to get a clearer view of what different foods are doing to my levels, during day seemed to stay within 5-7 but at night dipped to less than 3.9, has anybody else seen this? I’ll see what happens over next fortnight to see if this is a pattern, although do wonder if this might be associated with dreaded menopause night sweats ( not that I knew I was having any)
 
Could you have been lying on your cgm when you were asleep.? The compression can make readings go way down. In general, some cgms seem to work better than others. I'm wearing one at the moment that is giving readings 0.5 to 1mmol lower than my finger-prick tests. Also, they can take a few days to settle down to accurate readings. When they're working well, they're brilliant, when you get a duff one they're a pain! Over time you get to work out how best to interpret the results and to work out which ones are not behaving well.
 
Hmm good point I may well have been lying on it, maybe haven’t put it in best position on my arm, il see what happens tonight thanks
