[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2408140, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=544135]@traybroth[/USER] and welcome to the forums. I'm so sorry you are having all these health issues. Unfortunately I think [USER=527103]@In Response[/USER] is right, you'll need some readings from a glucometer to back up those libre readings in order to confirm the hypoglycemia and get taken seriously by an endocrinologist. Assuming those readings are correct (and they might be false) then there are a number of medical reasons why you could be going low at night, which is why you'd need an endocrinologist. who'd know the different causes and how to test for them. I'll tag in [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] and [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] who both know a lot about this subject but you'll probably have to wait a while for them to be back online. Unfortunately the different medical reasons have different treatments (eg insulinoma might require an operation to remove a benign cyst from your pancreas while the RHers control their condition by minimising the carbs in their diet). I'm not saying you have either of those conditions as I'm not a doctor, don't know much about the many causes of non medication induced hypoglycemia and don't even know for sure that you are getting hypos at night. But if hypoglycemia is the cause of your night sweats then an endocrinologist should be able to help you. Good luck.
