ah ok thank you. i was concerned for awhile thereCan your body recover on its own....yes......its obviously not wise but your liver will respond.....
mine still does even after nearly 20 years...
i do, last time i was at the nurses they changed my pumps hourly rates from 0.87 to 1.13 iv had 3 hypos since then in the middle of the night or early morning. iv since gone back to 0.87HI @chips It's not ideal, however I know what you mean, complete exhaustion and failure to wake fully means you will sleep on and fortunately your liver responded with glucose.
Do you know why you are going low over night ? It's really important to avoid night time hypo's in case your body doesn't respond. Also keep something next to your bed that you can grab and swallow down quickly, glucogel is the easiest night time treatment for me as I literally gulp the tube down.

i have not really looked into the CGM things but i might bring it up at my next appointment. i dont drink so got no worries there thank youI quite like glucotabs for this, I can just eat 2 or 3 and I'm good. The trouble with night time hypos is that if they're severe enough you can actually have a seizure and, worst case scenario, die. (Not wanting to freak you out here as it's very rare, but this is the reason that diabetic clinics really don't like night time hypos.) Also, be aware that if you drink alcohol this impairs the liver's ability to combat night time hypos and so doesn't combine well with them. (Not necessarily a reason to avoid alcohol, but a reason to make sure you're not running low at night if you're drunk.)
Can you get access to a cgm (eg freestyle libre) so you can see what's happening at night and hopefully prevent it from happening in future?
yes i can, my nurses usually advise me on any changes but if i notice a pattern in the data then i can change it myself. im using the Accu-Chek Insight pumpDo you adjust your own doses on the pump? specifically the basal rates
