UGH! So glad you're ok. Diabetes can still really scare me too.

@ Brian. They have trained Dogs that can detect low blood sugar, so I would totally believe that your cat is able to detect it. I heard that somewhere and actually thought about getting a dog and training it to do that for me. I don't think it is ironic that both of your Cats, Karen & Brian, were on your chest when you woke up with Lows. Animals/Pets are a lot smarter than we suspect,

I'm a fairly deep sleeper so most of the time I wake up in the middle of the night, it's because my bloodsugar is out of whack. When I'm too tired to check, I know that's when I really need it. Waking up like that is so scary when you're home alone. I'm glad (and a smidge jealous) that you have someone there for most nights. <3

Wow, it's like you wrote about me! For me, the restlessness is my first tip, but like you, it's not apparent until after the fact. After 50 hrs of this, it only gets worse (the hypo unawareness issues).

After a failed infusion site and a correction with an insulin pen I was worried about my daughter - that I had over corrected. I 'slept' next to her and a couple hours later she woke up and said "I think I am low, I just had a dream my blood sugar was 45". I tested her and she was 47. Thank God for diabetic dream intuition.

Glad you woke up. Glad you tested. Glad you're...

Glad you woke up. Glad you tested. Glad you're okay.
And running high for a few days is good. You'll sleep better and so will Pete.

It's funny, I can't tell you how many times when I was low, I would wake up with my Cat on me. I wondered sometimes if she did that to try to help me. I can't prove it, but I think she knew I needed something and that was all the presence she could give us.

Hi Ben, thanks for your comments. In a weird way, it's kind of nice to know someone else has dreams like that when low too. I never called it my "low dream" until writing this post today. But now I will!!! I don't have it all the time, but usually when I've very very low. Thanks again for the comments!

I have had Low Dreams before, uh ever time I have a low while I was sleeping. I wake up dis-oriented and sweaty and usually over eat when I correct. I just have never heard it called a 'Low Dream' it perfectly describes the indescribable Dream that I get when I wake up low. I have called them Mortality dream, because it is usually a dream about me not dying right away, but slowly dying

I have those low dreams your talking about, i have just never called it a 'Low dream' before. It makes total sense! Thanks for posting, I enjoyed your the Post. I am scared too!
