[QUOTE="Browndoff, post: 1160114, member: 297831"] I'm using an insulin pump and yet I have similar problems - in fact the time when I most often suffer a hypo is at 02:30 - when I don't wake up to the symptoms! I've been a Type-1 for 45 years and regularly suffer drops in BG just before lunch and evening meal - whether I've been 'active', or not, for the previous hour. The amount of carbs needed to remove the symptoms of low BG is, however, mostly a matter of how long it takes for the food to be absorbed and to remove the horrible shaky feelings. There have been times, though, when I've corrected one drop in BG, seen it rise in a subsequent test - only to see it drop again within the hour! That's the sort of 'daft' result that makes one wonder if even old Typ-1 diabetics don't sometimes still produce some insulin! [/QUOTE]
