Hi. I've been type 2 for 20 years and am currently taking Gliclazide and Metformin.
Last night my blood sugar dropped considerably and quite quickly for no reason I can think of. It resulted in me waking up in the night and realising I was having a hypo!
At 10pm my reading was high at 15 mmol/L
At 11.30pm it had dropped to 8
Went to bed then woke up at 1.30am with hypo symptoms and a reading of 3
This has never happened before and was quite scary. I can't explain it - between 10pm and going to bed I was just sitting watching TV as usual with a cup of tea (no alcohol). I used to be fine knowing that a reading over 5 at bedtime meant I would be fine, but now I'm worried it could happen again.
Any ideas as to what might have caused the big drop in blood sugar?
Many Thanks
