[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 1196175, member: 148713"] One reason for night time hypos us that your muscles can snatch the glucose out of your blood to replenish themselves while you sleep (part of the repair process, I guess). Also, IME, if I keep my blood sugar flat and within range for 6 weeks, it is much, much harder to get out of a hypo. I am not sure why. Maybe the supplies in my liver run down and there is not enough left for a liver dump. (I am one of those who NEVER gets Dawn Phenomenon, though). So, perhaps your nap is deep enough to kick off that process. I think you should just have a snack before you nap. Glass if milk, maybe? [/QUOTE]
