[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 942640, member: 94348"] Agreed, i remember a study where children first had some form of overnight glucose monitoring overnight for several nights in a research study - i think the children were in hospital for the tests - and a large proportion of them were dipping too low over some of the nights, sometimes several times and sometimes for quite long periods, most had no knowledge that they had. I dont remember the name of the study but it confirmed my experience - when, some years into diabetes, i stopped waking in the night with good hypo symptoms, I tested more overnight for a short while, and i realised I also was dipping too low a lot - i found it very hard to wake when i was around 3.0. or lower. I just had to raise my numbers as i felt my brain was at risk - without any CGM and an alarm, or even a pump to lower base rates at specific times , I was literally at sea with no protection and no compass.
