Dreamt that I was having a hypo

[Replenish]

I was low before bed last night (3.7) and I over corrected as usual (went up to 10) so I took my usual background dose and went to bed.

In the night I had a dream (nightmare really) that I was having a bad hypo, shaking, sweating and I had nothing near me to eat, my test strips wouldn’t work and my needles for testing my bloods were all bent.

I woke up all sweaty but felt normal so I went back to sleep……. Arg this is sounding stupid now that Im typing it out, I should have got up and tested shouldn’t I? or is it normal to have this nightmares? The 3.7 is the lowest I have been since diagnosis so it was on my mind before I went to bed.

I always test when I wake up like that... it's usually because I am hypo. You know what to do next time.

Thanks shedges, I actually just did a search and it seems to be a fairly common thing. Oh well lesson learnt.
