I probably can't give a good reason for every time I've been tested, beyond anxiety about what my BG is (whether I'm going low without really knowing it). I am testing much less often now, actually - yesterday only 4 times. But I went up to 12.3 at one point, and had to give a corrective dose. And I woke up with a reading of 11.2, presumably due to the apple I had just before going to bed. I am quite fearful of the prospect of going to sleep when my sugars are on the way down. I used to get a lot of night-time hypos when my BG was see-sawing a lot (which it's done for 10 years, since my initial diagnosis, until a few weeks ago when I was stung into taking action by a report of retinal changes). I would often wake up in a cold sweat with very low blood sugar, but these days I'm not so sure if that would always happen...
Oh, by the way Sue secrettheatre is very much a he, last time I checked.
