Hi, hoping someone can help me.
For the past few months, I have been waking up soaked in sweat, but with BS in the 10 - 12mmol range. Initially, I figured I was starting menopause (I am 44) as both my Mum and sister started early. However, I have since read about Simogyi Syndrome, and am more inclined to think could be this - also have seen my GP who has ruled out early menopause.
I have been testing through the night now for about 7 weeks, and I can't catch where I am dropping and am now very frustrated...and tired with very sore fingers!
When I test hourly, my bg is fine and relatively stable, but when I switch to 2 hourly - I can wake up several times through the night and need to change my pjs because they are soaked through - bed also looks like a crime scene, with a damp outline of my entire body on my sheets!
I have 2 cgm sensors left from an earlier purchase, albeit they are out of date, although I found an article from Medtronic stating that sensors should be unaffected up to 18 months out of date. However, I did give up on the sensors originally because I found them inaccurate, but given my desperation, might be willing to try again.
Is there anything, anyone else would recommend or suggest? Eg. Last night before bed (11pm), I was a bit higher than usual at 11.6, as also struggling with a bit of a cold just now, and took a modest correction dose, as recommended by my pump. At 4am, I was 17.0 and drenched in sweat.
When testing evey 2 hours, I can go from 8.0 to 15.0 between checks.
Thanks
