Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brunneria" data-source="post: 1429063" data-attributes="member: 41816">I get a dip at 2.30am too.  It is often the lowest reading I get throughout the 24 hours.  Every night.  Like clockwork.And my body reacts to the dip with a wee liver dump that brings my bg up to around the high 5s.Then it dips a bit.Another mini rise.It looks a little like a stone skimming a pond, skipping across the water surface.And so on until, like you, I wake up or get up.I really don't know why the low happens.  It doesn't seem to make much difference what I eat the night before, or when I eat it.  When 2.30am rolls around, I go low, then bounce up again.(and I often wake up at that time too, nip to the loo and then go back to sleep - I used to think it was a full bladder.  But I have changed my mind.  I think it is the near hypo and the liver dump that wakes me enough to become aware of the full bladder)Am so glad you are liking the Libre.It takes some getting used to, but it is well worth the negatives (IMHO) to get the stupendous positives. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
