[QUOTE="Auckland Canary, post: 640447, member: 70613"] I had a horrible one last night as well. I have been struggling recently with high bloods in the morning and couldn’t get the levels down. I was taking 11 units of Levemir at about 6pm every night and then increased it to 12 but this had little effect. I remembered from a few years ago that my DSN had advised taking Levemir at about 8pm or 9pm and I realised it may have been running out before the morning. So I have started taking it later and my BS levels went from low teens to 9’s and 10’s in the morning. So for the last few days I had increased it to 13 and was getting 4’s and 5’s and thought job done. But last night I tested before bed and was 3.9 so had a slice of bread and jam thinking this would push me up but something went wrong somewhere. I awoke at about 4am, like you soaked in sweat, with glucose and a glucogon injection all over the floor. Apparently I had been screaming at my wife and telling her to f..k o.f and throwing things around the room before I became conscious. Absolutely horrible as although my wife understands how I can get she was in tears and I felt physically and emotionally awful. I have had a history of night time hypo’s in the past but thought I was getting over them but can’t seem to regulate my overnight levels whatever I do. I am either low teens or hypoing. I also have started to become very angry and aggressive when low and it is horrible as I am often unaware of what I am doing. I have an appointment to see a pump nurse in a few weeks and hopefully this will be the start of getting rid of these horrible events that have basically plagued my life for several years now. I feel your pain [/QUOTE]
