I was looking at the libre yesterday but I think you can only use it from 4 years old? Got a long way to go yet as LO is only 16 monthMy daughter is 10 now so bed time test is around 8-9pm, then I do another somewhere between midnight and 2am, if she's ok then I know from experience that she will almost certainly be ok for the rest of the night, it's extremely rare for her to go low between 2am and getting up time. If we're having problems I might test more often than that!
Have to say it's so much easier since we got the Libre and we can just scan rather than finger pricking...
Unless she's lying on the sensor and I have to roll her over! 😱
I'd be really interested to hear what the reason is! The swallow hazard makes sense thoughI have a sneaking suspicion that there might be concern about little children pulling the sensor off their arm and maybe swallowing it and this would present a very real choking hazard. They have promised to call me regarding the reason for failure of a couple of dodgy sensors. If and when they do I will ask them about sensors and kids and report back,on what they tell me 😉
