[QUOTE="Rylando88, post: 2127313, member: 406302"] I get the fear as you call it before driving and also before going into the gym. This led to me over-testing my BG and having very sore fingers all the time as well as over treating low levels as I was testing too quickly after treating and not giving enough time for glucose absorption! I don’t have many tips other than maybe keep a record of BG readings in the time just before bed and look for any significant patterns or any correlation. Also maybe try running sugars slightly higher before you go to sleep (not too high obviously), just enough to reassure you that you will keep a balance during the night! With the alarms maybe start reducing the amount of alarms you set, gradually weaning yourself off setting them and getting yourself a good nights sleep! The last tip is more of a reminder that no matter what, you may experience a hypo in the night at some point but if you’re prepared (glucose nearby, people aware of the condition and symptoms, mobile phone handy etc) then there’s no reason that you won’t be able to get it corrected quickly and feel back to your normal self ASAP!! Hope this helps/reassures you in some way even if just a little :):D xx [/QUOTE]
