[QUOTE="iHs, post: 393938, member: 8799"] A good way to make yourself get up in the night is to have a hot drink before going to bed so that you can get up and use the loo and at the same time, do a bg test. Now that I use a pump, sometimes during the night I need to check my basal rates out and used to set some alarms up on my mobile and stuff the phone under my pillow..... but got up to do one bg test and then when the alarm sounded again for another hour, I just turned it off meaning to get up but drifted back to sleep, so not good really. I got it sorted though by setting the alarms on the mobile and putting the phone on the floor so that I'd have no option but to get up to turn the alarm off and then go to bathroom to do a bg test. Good luck.... you'll find out what goes on with your bg levels while you're asleep. I was quite shocked at how low my bg levels went from midnight to 3am and why I always needed to eat a snack before going to bed with Lantus and also Levemir [/QUOTE]
