It's an Early Morning: DEXCOM

At 5:30 am, the alarm went off since the system thought I was dropping. I got up and got a test done. Before testing and doing a recalibration, the receiver thought I was under 80 mg/dl. I tested and it turned out that I was actually 112mg/dl and 101 ->. I had a mini snack since it was going back down before I had to get back up in another hour or two. Not sure what caused the sudden drop, but things settled down by mid-morning.

Tomorrow, I'm suppose to change the sensor and insert a new one in the afternoon. I'm hoping it'll still work before that time comes. Will let you know.

Everyone stay safe and I will be around later. :-)

Hi Leah, this is the second time you've had an alarm at 5.30am so poor you and I hope the new sensor is better.

Do you think changing the clocks has affected your blood sugar levels?

You look after yourself now. 😊

The time change doesn’t really do too much with my blood sugars usually. They drop from 300s to 70s— and below because the little sliver of pancreas puts out insulin when I sleep and it doesn’t know to not do this. Most of the time, it sleeps.

I hope the new sensor is good, too! Will find out tomorrow!😀👍

Not what you're looking for?
