[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2263571, member: 372717"] Could be wrong about this, but I thought a libre could be converted into a cgm by adding a transmitter, eg using the miaomiao? Then it can send warnings to [USER=524336]@Muggymagpie[/USER] 's phone once he gets below, say 5 or above say 9..... I agree that he is going to get a lot of false hypos at the beginning while he gets used to normal levels, as strictly speaking even 9 is out of range (though personally I just aim to keep under 10 as I risk losing hypo awareness if I keep my levels too low). So, as Eddie suggested, maybe try to edge your levels down slowly, so your body resets its "normal"and starts giving you hypo feelings at 4 (non diabetics go down to less than that with feelings of hunger but no loss of rationality or function). If you fear is psychological, maybe stay with a friend who can monitor you while you edge down to normal? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
