When you say hypo and not being aware of it, what sort of figures are you getting?
Sometimes the symptoms of a pending hypo can be very subtle so you need to really think are having symptons and just not realising what your body is trying to tell you?
Concerning night-time hypos, you would be wise to carry out some BG testing over night, to build ap picture to what is happen with your BG, you don't have to set your alarm cloclk for every hour on one night, (can if you want do thouggh) but starting with 2am (this is the should be near enough to be your bodies lowest ebb for hormone production, so in theory the lowest your BG should get over night) the on different nights, set your alarm a hour different, I normally start at 2am, then work towards the moring, depending how quick I want the data, I will do either every night or every other night... you then build a picture, so can if necessary change your back ground insulin to better suit..
There are subtle symptons that suggest if you've had a night time hypo, You waking BG is a lot higher than your bedtime, You can also feel awful, suffer some vision problems all can point to night-time hypo's... You feel like you've been on a drinking binge but you haven't touched a drop of alcohol!!! most likely to slept through your hypo..
Ken has given some good advice, but I am concerned with number 3, as to start to reduce carb and increase protien, you do need to understand carb counting, how to determin if you back ground insulin is correct, understand the effects of any exercise you do.. And know your carb to insulin ratio's for meals, adjustments etc.. If you haven't been a diabetic for very long, and don't follow a carb counting regime, then this really shouldn't be undertaken without the advice from your diabetic medical team....
Hypo unawareness can be caused by running tight control near to the lower ranges of blood glucose, also having a rollar coaster type control where you bound from high to low and back again can cause this alongside long term diabetes..
In your case has you've only been diabetic for a short period of time, I suspect you aren't picking up the subtle warnings from your body, so I would suggest that you take regular (and some extra tests) so that you build your data for your food intake, etc testing when exercising or doing something slightly different, if you food your self low, have a very good think to how you are actually feeling as you might just realise that there is something there telling you!
