I sometimes awake because I feel strange (hypo symptoms), then I check and confirm I'm hypo. Other times I continue sleeping and when I do wake in the morning I check my libre (thankfully I now have one) and see that my levels dipped and then went back up. For those (the majority) whether on finger pricks or some other method where they don't get alarms, it's a big risk, that's why they advise to prevent it you should not go to bed lower than around 7 and take a snack. These days though, many people don't want to artificially raise their levels before bed so I guess it's a choice.As for the rest, I was told that a non diabetic person (not on any meds) often go down to 3.5 and it's perfectly normal for them.</blockquote>
