[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 30394, member: 8110"] May I recommend that you keep either some Glucose tabs or a bottle of Lucozade by your bed. You shouldn't walk downstairs whilst hypo. A broken neck won't help at all. I'm assuming that you'll iron out the present blips, but a night time hypo is always possible and should be prepared for. You'll need to reduce your insulin, at least temporarily. With the help of your Dr. Or Nurse hopefully. That doesn't mean it will never happen again. My T1 husband had a hypo in the night quite recently and fall onto the vanity unit, knocking the TV to the floor and cracking some ribs. Luckily the noise woke me and I caught him before he got down the stairs,made him sit at the top, whilst I went down for the Lucozade, which I'd reminded him to take upstairs earlier that day( and he hadn't) [/QUOTE]
