Hi everyone! I've noticed with my hypos that if I go low during the night or any time that I'm woken up by one that the next day I feel woeful, almost like a hang over (but without the fun of a night out before Smile) I feel headachy and a bit shaky and quite "delicate". My hypo awareness is quite good when I'm awake , I'd feel them from 3.8 or so and if I have one during the day I would normally be fine about 15 mins after and not think about it for the rest of the day. If its a night time hypo my BG would normally be under 3 by the time I wake up, (I had one the other night and it was 2.4). I was wondering if there is a difference in the effects of a hypo if your BG goes under 3 or if anyone else has suffered from hypo hangovers?

I think I have because what you describe sounds familiar to some occassions where I have woken up low. In the worse cases, I develop a 24 hour headache.

Hope you're going to be okay. Not fun when that happens a lot. Sad
