Night time Hypo's, A Very sore point I have just seen ONE of my Consultants, He has seen
My Continuouse Glucose Monitor Graph on a Paper read out?
He has asked if I can get another done as this Massive great NHS Hospital cannot do them??
NO MONEY?
Yes I have "4am Hypos" about 5 nights out of 7 every week? And there is NO Answer as to why?
It is called "The Dawn Phenomenon" OR "The Somogyi effect!
And YES seen the Pictures, Read the Book GOT the T-SHIRT (SAME AS I STARTED? 34 YEARs AGO)
Many GPs, Doctors, Consultants, Diabetic Nurses, Pump Nurses and???? No perhaps NOT
think these conditions "DO NOT EXIST"
ON THE HELP Most of the above advise is correct, Have a bed time Biscuit or two (TRY and see)
and/or a drop more Insulin (A Little drop more TRY and see) If when you wake you dont feel well
you have had a Hypo
IF??? your Doc, Nurse, Say NO. Tell EM you know a Bloke, who has got a bit off PAPER
