[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 95016, member: 13077"] My son is only nearly 3 so doesn't really have any hypo awareness. I get up and check his blood sugar most nights at about 2.30am. Mostly he is fine but I have found him in the 2's a few times. There have been a couple of occassions that I have heard him making 'different' noises in his sleep and got up to find him below 4mml. Would it be reassuring if you got up for a few nights and checked so you'd both knew what was going on? I'd be getting up and checking after active days also. I really think nurses don't think of the consequences of their actions and these sort of problems also happen at school with teachers singling the diabetic child out in front of their peers. I suppose the only positive is that it should be understood that people don't usually die from having a hypo and the body is quite amazing how it can take care of itself. I hope you are able to somehow reassure your daughter that she'll be okay. Maybe get her to go back and read the positive things she wrote about having diabetes. All the best, Jen. [/QUOTE]
