I've awakened more than a couple times with the paramedic standing over my, IV in my arm, with my wife in tears hoping I'd wake up. I always did, but then I found out about a slow release rice-like carb bar called Extendbar ( I used to use one called Bite Bar but it disappeared). I get them by the box online for like $1.50 per. 130 calories each, and it won't spike your BS like other bedtime snacks like milk and toast. I don't always eat a whole one either. If I'm 100mg/dl (I forget what that is in British units sorry) and I only took 3 units for dinner 4 hours earlier I'll eat 1/3 of one. I have never had a serious episode of nocturnal hypoglycemia after eating part or all of an Extendbar. And my friends with kids who have it say it's like a miracle because they have to wake the kid up in the middle of the night and test them and freak out of they're on the low side then the load them up with snacks and they're 250 when they wake up in the morning for school. So consider this product.  And I don't have any connection with this company either.</p></blockquote><p></p>
