Hi
I'm fairly low carb- no bread, pasta, pots, rice etc etc
If you're a little low before bed what do you have? Obviously I have lucozade or similar if low but advice says longer acting carb to get you through the night.
I've been so low recently and hypoing in the night.

Well the most important thing to do if this is happening regularly is to check if your evening carb/insulin ratio needs to be lower, or your evening meal insulin needs to be lower, or possibly your basal needs to be split with a lower portion in the morning. That's much better than taking extra carbs every night.
