[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2132291, member: 420515"] I slept pretty badly last night, so lay down for a quick nap at about half nine. At this point my bg was 6ish, as far as I could figure it should have just trotted along at that sort of level. I woke up about 5pm, thought what the heck, and checked the libre. My bg has been in the red (<5) from about 10am to about 5pm, and below 3 for a good 5 hours. I'm pretty scared now. I figure this was actually one of those 'assistance required' hypos and I may have been bloody lucky to wake up. My main worry is that normally, even if I'm fully asleep, the incoming hypo horrible feeling usually wakes me up. If I can't rely on this I'm in trouble. I know the advice to regain hypo awareness is to run a little higher for a while, but this really isn't practical. (And would give my consultant cat-fits!) I struggle to keep my bg trace anywhere near level, I'm at a point where running higher would put me in hospital, and, as you can see, lower isn't proving to be a great idea. Any thoughts on how to make hypos more detectable? At the moment my safety net consists of phoning my husband every two hours to tell him I'm not unconscious, and its getting very irritating very quickly. [/QUOTE]
