Then as I was pale and trembling, sweating and slurring words my colleagues made me eat 4 biscuits and sugary tea plus 3 dextrose tablets over 30 mins. My sugars went up to 5.8 so I drove home from work, sugars were at 8.2. It was time for my evening meal so I ate a balanced protein/carb/fat meal. Following this I felt really jittery so I tested and was 9.2. I drunk lots of water as I felt really odd and wanted to reduce my sugar. Less than 20 mins after the 9.2 I am now 7.6. And it’s time for me to go to bed. I’m 99% sure that I will hypo in my sleep. But because it’s reactive I know my body will probably get to 3.8 and rise on its own so I’m not going to be unconscious like a true diabetic but I know I’ll have a **** sleep and wake up sweaty. Should I have a little glucose before bed to offset the hypo I know will come?</blockquote>
