[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1502710, member: 220230"] I always believed my night time/early morning symptoms were as a result of my body having little in reserve and to some extent that could have been true. I now believe that what I ate the day before played a large part in those unwanted symptoms. I received the exact same advice as you from the dietitian ie. jacket potatoes, fruit loaf, crumpets and bananas as a snack [emoji15]. Every night before bed I would have 3/4 crackers with cheese and tomato and that was in top of a carby dinner. Hence I know believe my diet was the main cause of the night time symptoms. Once you gain better control during the day I'm sure you will feel better during the night. Try a small amount of dark chocolate before bed or similar, just to sustain you and keep your levels steady. If you can fund one, the freestyle Libra is brilliant for us RHers, especially while you're experimenting with different foods, quantities and combinations. It'll also show you what your levels are doing overnight. I was convinced mine dropped, but they rarely did (unless I lay on the sensor!). In actual fact it showed a nice steady, flat line all night. Try not to worry too much about your weight. In my case, I think the worry contributed to the weight loss! Once I started to maintain my weight and I relaxed a little (at one point I was almost obsessive about getting as many calories as I could), I felt better and my weight gradually increased. I lost over a stone initially, but have now put 6/7 pounds back on. If I'm ill or stressed (as I am at the minute) it does drop a bit though, so it's an ongoing battle. Good luck and welcome to the forum by the way [emoji3] [/QUOTE]
