subconscious perhaps warning

Well I had a rough night but did manage about 4 hours or something and during that time I vaguely remember dreaming about having problems with getting a test strip in to test my blood sugar. Some weird dream but I woke up thinking stupid test strip.... then test my sugar and it's 9.6 which is my highest morning number in a while. So there's a couple of things that may have caused that... my bad pain night, or when I was dreaming of test strips I may have been having a hypo or about to and my body was trying to warn me. I don't feel too good anyhow this morning. This has happened to me before though where I was dreaming about eating and I suddenly woke up having a hypo. Is this something some of you experience as well? (the dreaming about something to do with diabetes I mean)

Fluctuating blood glucose levels play havoc with your subconscious in sleep.

There is a thread on the RH forum about some of mine!

that's interesting.

Yes I have no doubt it does.

I'm about to get my diabetic tests done next week so hopefully the hbA1c will give some indication what's going on.

I often feel awful in the mornings if I've hypo'd. But I'm also on so many meds so I can't tell for sure sometimes because I was asleep.
