[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 1061329, member: 138639"] From my own experience - and I may be wrong - but if you hypo during the night your body CAN (not always, but it MAY) release some glycogen to counter it. If you don't wake up to correct it, how do you know youre having/had a hypo ? Also, it is possible to hypo, just before having Dawn phenominom which naturally raises BS levels. I find DP in myself especially if I do NOT eat before bed and sleep on an empty stomach, so those two things may lead to a mild hypo followed by DP. Also, symptoms of a hypo can last for a while AFTER its been treated, but also sometimes hypos can feel very similar to hypers sooo thats no help lol I wouldn't say this is a false reading. The only false readings i have ever got where when i had stuff on my fingers - like oils or lotions, or when taking certain medications. But i have always re checked twice following and its either the same 3 times in a row, or its different once and the other two readings are the 'real' readings.. So next time you think its false, check more then once to verify. [/QUOTE]
