I'm a late bloomer, I'm not ashamed to admit this (or should I be?).  I took up reading the first of 4 books of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, which Laura, my niece is telling me are really good - PLUS she's got 2 tickets for the midnight premiere of New Moon on Nov 19^th at 12:01.  Sweet.

I am so involved in the characters, that I think they are in my dreams.  So much so, that last night, 02h30 to be precise, I woke up in abit of a sweat, heart thumping away, thinking to myself "Would Edward know that my blood isn't smelling sweet anymore (aka am I going low)?"  LOL - I mean, I'm not a teenager anymore - which is who these books are aimed at - am I regressing back into childhood here?

I tried something different for treating my hypo.  No getting out of my cozy bed (it went down to 12C/54F last night) - going into the kitchen to test my BG to confirm what my reading is - then consume perhaps more then I should to treat it.  No, I was a wise ol' "teenage heartthrob" diabetic gal - I drank a juice box - 22 grams of carbs - to treat my low.  Meanwhile as I sipped away on my juice box, Manouchka my cat aka crotch cat - where she sleeps for most of the night - just purred away.  Too easy, I thought to myself - it's like having 1^st class service on an airplane - not having to move.  About 5 minutes, no more passed, and then I was off to sleep again into la la land.

I woke up this morning, bright eyed and bushy tailed, wondering to myself, "will I have elevated BG's?"  Which is sometimes common for me when I've had a hypo - but in this case with treating it  just with a juice box - I was amazed to see I was reading 5.3 mmol/l (95 mg/dl ) .  Wow!  Maybe in future I will treat my BG's this way - it's too easy!

So, how many of you treat your overnight hypo's this way - right from your bedside without confirming your readings with your BG meter, etc.?   Just curious.
