[QUOTE="azure, post: 934772, member: 39639"] I'm not sure if you have to eat that late because of work or something, but it's possible that's causing or exacerbating your hypos. If your blood sugars tend to swing about, then that late night bolus you have for your food at 11pm could linger on and give you a hypo in the night. Personally I'd never have a bolus that late. I like to be sure my blood sugar has settled down and is safe before I go to bed. Could you eat earlier? I'm not saying it's a magic answer but it might well help. My insulin pump can use a CGM but I've been reluctant to have one because it's looks uncomfortable to wear compared to my pump cannulas. If you accept that a pump would be good for,you, but your fear is stopping you, could you see a clinical psychologist who could help you overcome that fear if you're unable to do that yourself? I really think you'd be surprised at how cool a pump is. A pump would remove the problem, a CGM would just be a sticking plaster on it. [/QUOTE]
