Curious...Libre result.

So I'm wondering what is going on here?
I was woken at 4.30ish by my alarm. Finger test showed 7 so I didn't treat it and woke up at 7.00 o'clock to this.

You probably just put pressure on the sensor during your sleep. It happens to me loads.

Oh yes, of course! I forgot about that possibility.

Or the stress of being woken up released stress hormone increasing BG. (Or both, of course.)

Ah...yes but my question really was why is the black graph line above the red low scan result...?

Because the algorithm that Libre uses to translate the interstitial reading into a number that you can identify with, also has the "intelligence" to recognise that there is a rogue number that should be ignored. Sometimes I get low alerts that wake me and even though I've registered that happening the spurious reading doesn't always show the next day on the graph; not even as an isolated point.

The line is a 15 minute average. The dot is a scan. You lay on it and made it low but you didn’t lie on it for 15 minutes
