[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2132311, member: 372717"] Just wanted to say that we bought our first mobile phone, back in 1991, just for this reason.:) (My oldest son was born in 1991 :):)). I find that some of the highs come as rebounds from the lows.... As regards the libre, I'd honestly try setting an alarm for the middle of the night and doing a blood test, just to see how the night readings compare with the actual readings. (Though obviously that won't tell you how libre lows compare with real readings, unless the libre happens to read low that night.) But if your husband is home at the moment, I'd be very surprised if he could sleep through a serious (ambulance calling) night time hypo. (And again I'm speaking from experience, that of my poor husband.) Non diabetics can get blood sugars in the mid and high 3s, it's just that diabetics risk going lower. Your liver should pump out sugar in response to glucagon when you go low (in the absence of alcohol and assuming you're a vanilla T1/LADA and not T3c) and hence you do have another safety mechanism in place. Good luck. As a fellow insulin user, I just [B]HATE [/B]hypos.:arghh: [/QUOTE]
