Hi Dave,
When did you hypo? Was it after a meal with carbs or after a long time not eating?

Hi Dave,
I am no expert but if I was you I would meter myself when I wake up after sleeping. Perhaps your liver is not producing enough blood glucose from glycogen. Otherwise perhaps you could try eating some low G.I. carbs at bedtime?
I am diet controlled and I don't take meds and can have a not too bad hypo after high G.I. Carbs.
It sounds like you need investigating fairly urgently by an Endo.

regards
Derek

It could be your dosage of insulin, that is taking you into hypo.
What did the hospital say?
