3.8 for me and another lengthy spell just under the surface of the red sand. Slept really well although I did wake up on 2.9 (Libre 🙄 ) and ate 2JBs but for some reason they didn't pull me out of the red and I was back to sleep within 2 mins of eating them. You can see a slight blip on the graph where I ate them but it's no more than a mole hill. Normally 2 JBs would lift my levels by 3mmols, this looks like less than 1mmol. Sometimes I really think my body just likes to be at this level when I sleep. Unfortunately Libre now showing 15% in the red over the past 7 days which really is naughty! I have been reducing my evening Levemir. I assume it is either the Covid virus (still got a strong/fast positive lateral flow result yesterday, but then I'm still snotty and coughing) or the Amitriptyline having some impact on my levels. Daytime I am still on 24 units Levemir, which is holding me nice and steady, but would like to get it down to my normal 22 again soon. Night time dose is down to 2 but may need to knock it on the head tonight.
Many congratulations to @TinaD and @Lanny on your House Special achievements today. @Lanny you do know about compression lows with Libre don't you? Just wondering if your low through the night may not have been a genuine low. What do you have your low alarm set at? I have mine set at 4.5 but I am getting far too good at sleeping through it or I wake up acknowledge it and go back to sleep like it is a snooze button on a wake up alarm. 🙄
