[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2254705, member: 41816"] How are you feeling now [USER=523075]@swttbsy5[/USER] ? Waking up with a hypo in the morning is outside my experience, I am afraid. I usually wake up to dawn phenomenon and higher numbers. But I have had hypos around sleeping during the day, either from blood glucose dropping sharply > me falling asleep, or alternatively a typical 'afternoon nap' following a big meal > waking up feeling like I have been run over by a truck having hypoed during the nap. Neither of those sound like your experience, but I mention them because I have learned that the best thing I can do afterwards is [B][I]be gentle with myself[/I][/B], eat plenty of low carb foods, and accept that my blood glucose is going to be more unstable than usual for a day or two. I always feel rough after hypos, and can feel like a black depressive fog is hanging over me but it passes with time. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
