This question is for my mom, she has diabetes

but to be honest since her pre meal levels are quite low I think that this really needs to be discussed with the doctor. It maybe that another type of insulin or oral medication regime might be better.
Re the tingling, Have you actually tested her levels during the night?

no because she knows that during the night it drops naturally and by morning she is normal or slightly on the low end... but tonight i am going to test her at bedtime and later on if those symptoms are bothering her and keeping her awake... it's more like numbing and sharp pains in her arms and legs, and the heels of her feet feel like they are being cut with razors.
 
Flax meal foccacia is a good alternative to bread, recipe at www.about.com/lowcarb Also tomato juice is high in sugar I think.

I'm not a dr but those symptoms sound like poor circulation .
Maybe when she has the symptoms try massaging with a little olive oil & lavender oil, in the affected areas & see how that works.♡
