[QUOTE="KateS14, post: 2472312, member: 547730"] OK, so a bit of a working theory after another few nights. I have only experienced 1 more night sweat- last night - but the common denominator on the 4 nights that it has happened is that I had 2 Ibruprofen before bed to help with some muscle pain. Other than that not much real change in variables at all. I have looked up interactions between that and Metformin, and some sites say it's fine to take both, others say not as Ibruprofen CAN lower BG. Very confused, so had a chat with a lovely pharmacist who made time to talk it through with me, and she said that although the evidence she could find on a quick search wasn't entirely clear, she has heard of other people who have had this problem if taking Ibruprofen at night. She's advised switching to paracetemol when needed. Which, as I hardly ever need painkillers will hopefully be a while now... Hardly definitive, but reassuring nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
