[QUOTE="JVH2310, post: 1492947, member: 213767"] On the issue of dropping so much - this has happened to me recently. On several nights over a couple of weeks my bg started dropping around bedtime and I had to eat between 70 and 140g of carbs to get back up. It was exhausting and impossible to predict. Then it just stopped. That was about six weeks ago and I haven’t had a drop like that since. My diabetes gp didn't have a clue and even my diabetes nurse didn't understand it. I'm just hoping it never happens again, which isn't much of a plan! It's had a big psychological effect on me though and I'm only just starting to feel "safe" again. I'm still running my bg higher than it should be - which for a long time was because I was scared of the drop happening again - but now is just because I'm having trouble getting it down again. The whole episode did spur me into getting a Libre, though, which has been brilliant! :) [/QUOTE]
