Hi all
I have been T1 now for about 6 weeks. Happy to say I've managed to get my BGLs down to a weekly average of just under 7 and am only suffering the occasional hypo, usually when I've exercised a little more than I was expecting (lawn mowing, walking dogs etc).
Whilst I know the dangers of alcohol with T1, I enjoy the odd glass of wine of an evening and seem to be fine with one or two - no negative reactions including reasonable BGLs so long as I make sure I have enough carbs onboard.
The reason for this post is that if I exceed two glasses (even by just one) I tend to wake up with loss of feeling in my hands/arms and then a little pins and needles.
I was wondering if anyone else has similar and/or if you think this is coincidental and I could just be lying strangely in the night. I had this this morning after sleeping in my son's bunk bed from 0100 (he took my place in bed!!).
