This could be due to his becoming hypo during the night. The body then releases  sugar from the liver to compensate and that causes a high. The lows usually occur around 3.00 a.m. When I experience a severe hypo I often know what has been said to me but have been unable to respond. It is not unusual for diabetics to refuse glucose when in this state. Apparently I insist I am 'perfectly alright'. Do you have Glucogel that you can rub on surfaces in his mouth? That can help to bring him out of the hypo. You can get it on prescription and it acts very rapidly. I can often function with a blood sugar of 2.5 but sometimes cannot. That is far too low. It needs treating.I also often have a bad headache after a severe hypo and feel 'out of it' for about 24 hours.</blockquote>
