I'm ok, so what can I do but laugh? I'm ok but... NO ALARMS. That's not terribly low, for me, but it seems I was below 3.9 for about an hour.... I don't know if I'm reading these graphs right

Well, that didn't work out too well

That apple on the graph was 3.0 units of novorapid and dinner (15 minutes later) of crumbed fish, chips and salad. I just dropped 30 minutes after injecting and eating. Wow. 7.9 is because I had a beer because I got annoyed when I saw the red line. I'll probably drop again tonight again because of that

When is your alarm supposed to go off? I know that a number of people are having trouble with libre alarms at the moment (there are quite a few threads about it). I'm a dexcom user so I can't help unfortunately but in your position I'd be working hard on the alarm issue.
It's set to go off at 5.5 (I increased it yesterday from 4.3 because when I drop, I drop fast). No alarms have gone off except for one just then (3.8, finger prick 3.5, I feel ok so am just eating jelly beans tog get it back up). I'm using the reader not the phone app this month because Abbot sent me an email about alarms not working with Android 13. Seems the reader doesn't work either, though Edit: although it did go off... just a few hours too late
It's a pity it's 9 PM. I'd like to have a beer again but it's a bit late and I'm only allowed 1 a day so jelly beans it is. Just took my glargine even though I'm low (it never does anything to me much like novorapid does... edit: err, well it's never dropped me immediately before anyway. I probably should have skipped it in hindsight but in my experience it will effect tomorrow's levels rather than anything in the next few hours). Will watch youtube and monitor closely

I should add that nobody has said I can use beer to treat a hypo lol (that's just my wishful thinking). The opposite in fact. I've been advised to only have 1 beer a day (max. 2), with 2 days off a week, for other reasons
I'm 5.1 now after jelly beans and glargine. Should be cool. I just looked through libreview and it seems that the alarm has been going off at 3.9 or 3.8... ignorining my higher setting. Will make a phone call tomorrow
