[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 343678, member: 47233"] Went to bed at 10pm last night and woke at 4am sweating profusely and desperate for a pee. Checked my BS and it was 6.5 which is really 5.5 as I use the Codefree meter and it tends to consistently register a point above most other meters. 5.5 is really low for me even though it might be normal for a non diabetic, once I go below the 6 mark I start getting false hypo symptoms. I did feel a bit hungry when I woke up too, which is unusual for me now because I rarely get hunger pangs, I just get shaky and mouth numb when I'm getting readings that are 'low' for me. Yesterday I worked right through the morning and forgot to have a snack. By 12noon I felt zonked, blurry eyed, mouth numb and sleepy. Wasn't clock watching so didn't notice the time and it wasn't until a colleague said "You're a bit quiet this morning Grace, are you OK?" that I realised from the symptoms, that I needed to eat. I'm finding being back at work great in many ways, it's good to be back in the saddle and earning some money again, but I'm getting a bit bored with my packed lunches and I've been skipping breakfast because I don't feel like eating so early in the morning. I've just forced a beefburger and an egg down me at 7.15am ... eeewwwww yuk! :roll: [/QUOTE]
