Shower setting of libre alarms

[Smiler99]

Has anyone else had there alarms go off after showering?
My libre is stuck perfectly to my skin no gaps this is the second one that's done this 10 mins after I shower alarm

What alarms are you getting?
High, low or loss of connection?

I find the heat from the shower causes my Libre to record a spike which could explain a high alert.
If it is a loss of connection, that also makes sense if you are away from the reader/phone.

Low so I am finger pricking to check

And does your finger prick show Libre has a correct reading or is the sensor affected by the shower?
I have read someone people find their levels fall when in a hot bath so may be the same is true with a hot shower.

That's interesting! I have also noticed a spike upwards when I have a shower, I assumed it was movement related (though don't really dance much in the shower). My shower isn't even what I'd call hot, it's always left on 38c.

My libre almost always thinks I am high after a shower. It changes its mind after about 15 minutes so I ignore it.
It's never thought I was low so that's interesting. Do you always shower at around the same time?
