[QUOTE="Miklo, post: 462061, member: 92118"] Hi I think it is difficult to get back on track after a night time hypo as you tend to edge on caution but in time it soon passes and you do forget the incident. i dont have many but you can bet it is the middle of winter when I awake confused and sweating and it can be diffilcult to persuade your mind to let yourseld get out of bed that is the first difficulty as you are confused. in my case making it downstairs to the larder is the next obstacle and by this time I am soaking wet all while the wife and kids are fast asleep the lowest \i have tested in this state is 1.4 and usually I go through have a box of shreddies and half a pint of milk with pleny of sugar and when recovered try and work out the figure to inject some fast acting insulin to counteract what I have had. Then its in the bath as I am now freezing and back into bed and none of the family are any wiser and the kitchen is like a bombsite. I dont have many night time hypos itmaybe I have had a busy day rushed tea had a few drinks etc etc and then gone to sleep soon afterwards. [/QUOTE]
