[QUOTE="Choosehappy, post: 2347367, member: 532971"] Hi guys Really scared and confused... going to ring the clinic tomorrow but just thought I’d share see if anyone has ever experienced this So I had been running around and noticed my bg was really low 2.8 I then realised I hadn’t taken my basal insulin (first day I have been so clumsy just been so busy) so I ate 4 glucose tablets and two quality street chocolates cus I knew I would be running around some more. I waited abit took my basal and checked again my blood sugars were all of a sudden 16, so I checked again 1 minute later and it said 6, I checked again straight away it said 19 so I then switched to another machine and it said 6 straight after, checked again it just said HI (libre) then checked on them both together within seconds they both said 7.2 and one said 7.6 i am just nearly in tears because both my machines can’t possibly be broken, this is the first time I have ever noticed this type of fluctuation in readings so quickly, literally all these readings were taken within seconds of one another, I’m really scared and don’t understand what just happened. I now also don’t trust my machines at all. I have checked my keytones just in case, appersntly they are 0.1 but how do I even believe the machines when they were both showing such fluctuations within mere seconds, is that even possible?
