[QUOTE="WorriedPartner, post: 2325346, member: 532199"] All makes sense, she's going to need to seek the diabetes team's advice on how to manage the overnight swings, we're struggling to make sense of how the numbers can shoot up or down overnight when she's doing nothing different. Agree totally, she's got other health conditions, and had a lot of unexplained issues last year (didn't find out she had diabetes till start of this year), it seems like we're constantly trying to figure out if undiagnosed diabetes played a part in any of the unexplained issues, when she was coming to terms with having diabetes she would get a headache and think it was linked, it took a while before she accepted that being diabetic doesn't stop unrelated health issues or minor things like headaches. Despite the wild variations in her numbers, and the passing out, we've got to keep understanding that they may not be related, and it could just be that she's struggling to get her numbers under control, it feels like it's been going on forever, but it's only been 10 months and she started from a very low place, but anyone we chat to just confirms that it can easily be 2 years before getting to a level thats easier to manage. The libre/miaomiao combination will allow for a lot of trial and error to try to get an better understanding, there will also be a very detailed diary to compare, hopefully we can learn a lot, and at worst, if we just can't get a grip on the numbers, we'll have a lot of data for the diabetes team to consider and see if something like brittle diabetes might be an issue, though initially I think we need to assume that isn't the case and do all we can to try to steady the numbers.
