Last night I woke up at 3:00am dripping in sweat and my heart was pounding. I knew right away that I was low and reached for my meter to check. After fumbling around with my shaky hands I managed to test and was at 2.4 (why do we do this? Even though I know I am low I still have to check...). I wolfed down 5 Dex tabs and after I had stopped shaking and was able to get my thoughts together I padded down to the kitchen for a yoghurt to get me through the rest of the night. I woke up about four hours later and was at 5.2. Even though my BS was good, I felt like I had been run over by a truck! Head pounding and slightly nauseous. As the day has gone on I have felt somewhat better, I think my lunchtime 10km run helped, but I definitely feel off. First time a low in the night has affected me so much the day after. As I have been exercising a lot, I have lowered by basal and always make sure I have a good BS before bed, however you just can never guarantee what is going to happen! I am thankful that my body wakes me up and I have what I need within reaching distance. I am glad that this does not occur often as man it really makes you feel like a pile of steaming crap!
