Hi all, my first contribution on this thread.
I received my Freestyle Libre 2 yesterday and have started to collect data.
I was 5.0 on waking this morning. The device has reported me going down to 3 overnight. I’m newly diagnosed and still trying to understand everything, but that low reading has me worried. I don’t wish to divert the thread, but any explanation/guidance would be welcomed.
Cheers

Sometimes if you lie on the libre you get a low result xHi all, my first contribution on this thread.

im awful at 3 ian really shakey i dont know if the factors are different for type 1s and type 2s xGood morning. Swipey reckons I was 4.7 this morning which could be both true and worse. Welcome @CotswoldsBloke. Lying on a Libre can lower readings as @karen8967 says. Everyone's too low is different and medication affects this. I'm good to go at 3 but some aren't.
I am pretty shaky at 4, time to hit the raisins.im awful at 3 ian really shakey i dont know if the factors are different for type 1s and type 2s x
Winner for the long overdue action. Hba1c is merely the blip that prompted the realisation you needed more help. Thanks for updating us.UPDATE (because some very kind people wanted to know) - spoke to GP this morning - Hba1c was up to 52 - not earth shattering but higher than I would like. Finally being referred to a consultant. DN ringing me this afternoon about fast-acting insulin. Looks like things may finally be on the move.

We work in tandem. 6.1 for me, too.Sad 6.1 for me today. 30 min intense workout with PT later which will be a kill or cure I expect.
