FOOTBALL. MY husband is a sports fanatic and watches everything. Most i can put up with just not football.
Last night i think i woke up with with the start of a hypo. I was shaking quite badly but the next minute it was morning :?:
Woke up fairly late and took a test before i had breakfast it was 11 something. I still dont know if i was dreaming or not so is it possible that can happen ? It felt so real
 
It is possible to experience the same symptoms when your levels are too high as when they are too low, which seems more likely with a morning reading of 11.
 
I'm normally high and dont get the shakes like that. These shakes comes with a hypo but was just wondering if you can go high after a low without treating it? I used to suffer alot of NON diabetic hypos so there is no mistaking that horrible feeling. :sick:
 
This is quite common, at least for a type 1 - after a hypo you get a recoil or rebound (don't know the proper name for it). Some say that the rebound actually goes higher when the body's left to deal with the hypo on it's own.
 
experimented last night and ate something before i went to sleep. Tested this morning and my sugars were 6! They never that low. Dont get it :lol:

Sounds like your liver DIDN'T NEED to save the day.

Moral of the story - eat a snack before bed! (Sounds like it works for you!)
