My partner has type 1 and uses a Libre 2 monitor. Regularly she will have a hypo overnight - typically her blood glucose will reduce in a more or less straight line at around 2.2 to 2.4 mm/l per hour. To avoid a hypo she effectively has to go to bed with a reading of up to 20mm/l. She carb counts and splits her long acting morning and evening.
Given the continuous rate of glucose reduction I can't see compression effects on the Libre sensor being relevant or an effect of her last short acting injection. I assume this points to the number of units of long acting she is taking in the evening but she's only taking half the daily amount and reducing by 1 unit makes no difference.
I'd be very grateful for anyone else's views or experience
