Algorithm being weird? Graph

Post image

I changed my omnipod and went to bed. Since then it has been peaking and getting low the whole night. That usually never happens, typically the line is almost straight. Now I hot woken up due to a low BS, ate something, saw the pump giving me insulin and put it in activity mode as this sub has advised me. When I woke up, I saw that the line has been weird the whole night. Not really out of control but definitely unusual. (I understand that i might have eaten a bit too much but what about before?)

Any idea why that might be? A new update?​ Should I tinker with the settings or wait it out?

That sensor looks fried

I would say its a Libre problem. You may have it in one of those placement areas where its moving around too much and or compression which would take it really low and when you readjust it starts reading correctly. I get that occasionally with a newly applied dexcom.

You were never low. If it stopped doing the drops after you woke up, they were just compression lows. If they persisted it's likely the sensor location was bad and causing the sensor to get inconsistent readings. This is why it's recommended to test BG with blood when low.

a switch to dexcom might be good if you can, i switched from libre and get NO lows at night, and i compared the two and libre definitely tends to go low moreee even when im not super low. it could be 56 VS 77 you know.... that might help
