Chloe has been for a group meeting with nurse and part of the discussion was about night time hypos.
Nurse say to them- you`ve probably had hypos at night already, you probably have been unconcious for about an hour during the night, then gone high. It can happen quite often.
This has resulted in Chloe who is 11 and hasnt slept properly since being diagnosed having panic attacks at night. last night she got up 3 times crying and her heart pounding, hands shaking saying she couldnt sleep. I did check her blood and they were 9.7.
She seems to be going through a period of being scared of her diabetes again but much worse, we do have a stressful time in the family at the moment which cant be helping but last night she seemed to be frightened to go to sleep.
Could you let us know about any experinces you have had with night time hypos- do you wake up feeling unwell, any really bad ones and how they were solved. Any advice to her on how to deal with the worry.
Thank you as always
Charlie
