[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2435921, member: 68789"] I still use the Libre 1, and I set the alert range at 4.8 to 8.2. I tell myself that it gives me time to correct, but I’m thinking of reducing the high alert to 7.8. Since there’s a 15 min lag between interstitial glucose and blood sugars, the lower alert might give me more time to catch it if there’s an upward or up-slanting arrow. I can always increase the time between alerts if I need to; currently I have it at 15 mins for the 4.8 and 25 mins for the 8.2. I’ve hesitated because sometimes I have a rise late in the evening when it takes longer for the correction to bite, and I do resent being kept awake if I know there’ll be a slow slide back to range. If I’m really tired I turn the alerts off. Naughty!? [/QUOTE]
