You may also want to speak to,your diabetes team to see if there's any way to reduce the nighttime hypos. It may be that an adjustment to your insulin might help. It's certainly worth exploring as hypos at night can be frightening.

You could also try setting an alarm for around 2am to get up and test, and eat if necessary. That's what I used to do when I had hypos at night. It was a nuisance but helped a little.
