[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2180624, member: 372207"] A myth is something that doesn't exist at all as far as current knowledge goes, implying that everyone who believes in it is misled. If you meant it [U]doesn't happen [/U] for all, that may be perfectly true. My consultant was horrified when I told her I inject quick acting for getting out of bed every day and not eat until some 3 or 4 hours later (injecting again for the food of course). I showed her my Libre graphs for the days I injected for it; waking in the 5's or 6's, with a more or less straight line through the night, a slight bump of 1 or 2 mmol/l, and back to the 5's ot 6's. I also showed her the graphs from before I started injecting for it. Same line through the night, sharp rise to 11 or 12 over next 3 hours without food, messed up afternoon from correcting and bolusing for food at the same time and an overall larger amount of insulin taken. There's no arguing with that, and after that she reluctantly agreed it was a wise thing to do and mumbling to please be careful. And yes, I regularly compare my readings to a fingerprick. Libre is off, but predictably off, above numbers are corrected for that. [/QUOTE]
