[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2323386, member: 372717"] Be aware that the libre is notorious for under reading at night, something to do with lying on the sensor. The 3 reading probably wasn't as low as you think and it's very reassuring that her liver was able to pump out sugar to make it rise up from that level. I still think that sorting out her hormonal levels (thyroid etc) will make her diabetes much easier to handle. I also agree with [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER] that she needs to come to the forums herself to be encouraged to take any of this advice. Your support is awesome but she will be a lot better off if she can take ownership of her illness. An issue with T1 is that we are all slightly different and although doctors can advise (particularly for those with non standard metabolisms) in the long run you have to learn your own body and learn how to manage this condition for yourself. But modern technology, in particular cgms such as the libre, is marvellous, and I'm speaking here as someone who became T1 more than ten years before glucometers were invented. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
