[QUOTE="mchphoto, post: 397737, member: 60084"] This came up as part of my facebook application and led me to a write up on this subject on this subject and I need some more info on this before I go to my doctor tomorrow about my distrbed sleep pattens and feeling tired which are 2 of the 4 main symptons of this. I am T2 and on metformin, check my sugars before bedtime typically around 6-7 and in the monring low 6's sometimes mid 5's all going well, So the question is : can your blood sugar go down to a hypo level, you have the "attack" without knowing the cause at night and then when you wake apart from feeling tired your surgar levels are OK, as your body has reacted correctly in the night to bring your sugar levels up to an accecptable level. I have on a few occasions woken up very hot and dry mouth, I have a drink to cool down and I am then OK for the rest of the night Does anyone have any answers or suggestions, as I have had 2 hypos and measured them and they were 2.8 and below, but I have never throught of checking when I wake for a few seconds and then go back to sleep, perhaps I will try this from now on to see if I am getting a hypo. Also on the other side, how do you stop them from happening, e.g. what should your blood sugar level be to try and prevent this from happening? Thanks in advance Michael [/QUOTE]
