I am not after sympathy or advice ...just need to rant!!!

I HATE having a hypo/being too low for bed!!! It has to be one of the worst times to have erratic blood sugars !!! You get all sleepy, tucked up in bed and need to get back up to eat/drink and check your blood sugars are on the up!!!

SO annoying!!! I just want to sleep!!!

I know over time I'll have the confidence to eat and know which way my sugars will go and just go to sleep, but right now it's frustrating and I just need to rant!!!!!!!!

Hi, yes it is frustrating and I'm sure most of us have been through this at some time. Take care and I hope you have better nights sleep in the future. ps there is a SCREAM thread in the General section, that might help.

Look on the bright side at least you can do something about it now rather than running low during the night !!

What's causing it, have you taken too much quick acting ? Learn from this and it will come right, it's all about gaining experience which will help your confidence ;)

What's worse is when you can't sleep and then when you finally do you get woken up by a hypo. A couple of days ago I couldn't get to sleep then when I finally did around 1am ish I was woken at 3:43am with a hypo. Needless to say I was grumpy and tired the next day! So frustrating sometimes :( I feel your pain!
