A commenter asked why don’t I go to bed under 150?<\/p>\n
If you are on insulin, there is something called “Dead in Bed” Syndrome that you have to worry about — also you need to worry about hypoglycia — which may be what causes “Dead in Bed”.<\/p>\n
Diabetics on insulin have been found “Dead in Bed” — cause of death has not always been determined.<\/p>\n
Therefore, most CDE’s require their patients to eat a snack with 1 serving each of carb, protein, and fat. That is to keep the diabetic from becoming hypoglycmic. It is possible to sleep through a hypo.
\nMost parents of Type 1 diabetes test their children through the night as a result.<\/p>\n
Since I has gastic reflux disease also, I often skip a snack, especially one with fat and protein. However, the few times I’ve been below 150 I have had some hypos, and I do need to start experimenting with that more. I suspect I could go a bit lower.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
