Type 1 Low sugars

[Job76]

I’m noticing sometimes when my sugars are going low late at night I’m taking few jelly sweets then having a digestive biscuit but it doesn’t seam to go up and my alarm is going again in the sensor saying low glucose I do the same again and it still doesn’t work,,( sometimes) when going bed what should my readings be roughly around mine are about 5 thankyou

Are you checking you're low with a finger prick test, both the original low, and then 15 minutes later? Sensors aren't always accurate under 4, and take a while to 'catch up' after a hypo in my experience.

If you find you're getting frequent lows, it's worth checking that your basal insulin is right, and if you had any bolus insulin working.
