[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2329623, member: 527103"] Detecting hypos on a Libre can be a challenge as it is 15 to 20 minutes behind. So if your Libre scan says 4.2 and falling, you are already in hypo. On the other hand, 4.5 and flat, you are less likely to go to hypo. Likewise, testing post hypo you need to test with a finger prick. Otherwise, you risk over treating it because your Libre will take 5 to 20 minutes to detect the rise. [/QUOTE]
