[QUOTE="DunePlodder, post: 455355, member: 25119"] I spent Christmas with relatives but stayed in a local hotel. I'd done reasonably well BG wise but around 2:00 am Friday morning woke with a BG of 2.5! I was very shaky & sweaty but took a couple of glucose tablets & ate some biscuits and drifted back to sleep. Some time later I woke up to find myself curled up in a ball under the duvet, shivering uncontrollably. I felt very weak & cold & just didn't want to move. This went on for about 10 minutes or so, hard to judge, then I must have drifted off. I woke again feeling weak but did a blood test - 7.8. It wasn't particularly cold. The next morning I was tired but otherwise fine. The shivering has happened before, three times in perhaps 8 years. I'd never had the hypo before or perhaps I'd slept through one. On both previous occasions I tested a short while afterwards & was 5 or 6ish. I've been doing this diabetes thing for nearly 20 years (Type 1) but I can't work it out. Has anyone experienced this? Rather unnerving especially as I live alone. Regards, Robert [/QUOTE]
