Is 6.3 too low to go to sleep? I take insulin and metformin. So tired.. Just want to sleep but paranoid of hypo

Thanks for the advice @tim2000s Haven't been given the test you mentioned. Never even heard of it so I will defiantly be asking for it! Thankfully since starting insulin I have managed to get my levels pretty much normal. Amazing how much better you feel with healthy readings!

Hey guys. Hope everyone is well. Not new diabetic but I have just been moved from tablets to insulin. Absolutely terrified of having a hypo as my sugars have always been high. I have never had one before. This is the lowest I have ever been ( 5.4 mmol). Worried that I won't realise if I do go...
