Hi @pinewood !Hi everyone. Last night I woke up literally drenched in sweat from head to toe, with my sheets soaking. This has never happened to me before. I have no other symptoms (no fever, do not have a cold/flu etc.).
I immediately took my blood sugar and it was 6.2mmol. However, I am wondering if this was a "rebound high" and whether a hypo could have caused my sweat? It is plausible because I exercised pretty intensively before dinner and stupidly fell asleep at 4.5mmol.
I'm "taking a break" from my Dexcom at the moment so I can't know for certain what happened! Would be so grateful for any thoughts; Dr. Google has scared me senseless with talk of cancer etc.
I think @pinewood is taking a break from the sensors at the moment so this was why he was asking what it sounded like as he wasn't wearing one at the time (though I may have read it wrong)Hello @pinewood what was your dexcom reporting during the night ?
No, it's all okay but thanks for the kind thoughts! I just wanted a break; I've been using it basically non-stop for the past few years and wanted a week off to feel "unplugged". I'm still finger-pricking many times a day it's just (in a strange way) been nice to not always know my number ... although clearly last night it would have helped me!Sorry to hear that @pinewood have you been able to chat to your DSN about how you are feeling ?
If you are having to do multiple finger pricks a day you are not really unplugged. Unfortunately for all of us we simply can’t switch it off, but on the plus side, let’s face it, there are health condition which are a lot more difficult to live with. I have been a Type1 for about 45 years now. Personally, I have found Libre to be a life changer because it has reduced my finger pricking from 10 to just about one a day. Hope you will soon get back into the swing of things.No, it's all okay but thanks for the kind thoughts!
