[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2067950, member: 345386"] xfieldok - Have you tested in the early hours when your Libre is showing these low numbers? When I use the Libre, it almost always has me running at 2.2, all night every night. Now my (unmedicated) numbers can be pretty low, but it's way more likely these low numbers, [B][U]for me[/U][/B], are compression lows. Compression lows happen in some people, when they lie on their sensor. Bearing in mind these numbers matter to you (for me, mine are a ginagerous so what), it could be worthwhile setting an alarm to finger prick test in the early hours. To be honest, on the times I have sense checked these silly (for me) numbers, I have left my testing kit, open, on my bedside table, so that I could quickly test and go back to sleep. You can even look at the result on your meter in the morning, if you're trying to minimise the waking time. [/QUOTE]
