[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2283078, member: 68789"] [USER=525839]@MarkMunday[/USER], deep nighttime hypos are, in my opinion, best to be avoided. I’m not going to get into the liver secretion argument, that’s just a form of ping pong. However, the tiredness the day after a nighttime hypo impinges on living well. Moreover, the physical effects of a nighttime hypo can be distressing, if not damaging. How many of us have had a hypo severe enough to affect movement and have risked, or had falls; how many people have been unable to reach out for a hypo treatment; how many of us have luckily known that we can’t safely negotiate a flight of stairs; how many people have come to to find themselves in a soggy sweat soaked bed with a couple of paramedics saying “I think s/he’s aware again”? Luckily these episodes are pretty rare, I have no intention of scaring anyone, but they’re a good reason why we need help with getting insulin doses and food right, especially when we’re new to this game.
