<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just started on insulin a month ago. The first two weeks it worked great but now I am experiencing some real highs and lows. About 3 times so far I have woken up in the middle of the night with sweats. When I take my sugar it's between 50 & 60. The first time it happened I could not get in touch with my doctor so I asked a friend if I handled it right. I had gotten up and eaten and gone back to bed. She told be to stay awake until it gets closer to normal. I finally got in touch with my doctor after if happened again. He changed the amount of insulin I take but it did not help. Last night I woke up again and it was 52. I stayed up for about 1/2 hr and kept testing my sugar. I could only get it to go to 60 but felt I ate enough to get it to rise. When I woke up this morning it was 222. So, I ate too much. I would like to know how others handle this. Is it dangerous to go back to sleep if I had eaten something? Ginny
