Does anyone else have nightmares about their blood sugars?

I've always had occasional dreams about my diabetes, but during the last week I've had dreams about having hypos, every night, sometimes multiple times in the one night. Sometimes the dreams reflect numbers I could get in real life (eg 3.7, 3.3) but some of them are about getting really low numbers that I've never actually reached in reality (eg 2.3, 1.4).

In the dreams I often feel very accurate hypo symptoms, and panic when I wake up thinking that I'm low. I have a CGM, and also do finger pricks to confirm, and none of the hypo dreams has been true (I'm always above 4). Does anyone else get dreams like this, or have any ideas how to stop them? I hate waking up terrified of something that isn't even true.

That (regrettably) is beyond all of us. Trite, but your mind is wrapped around it. Good and decent rest, day to day diversions.
