Hello everyone. I hope you're having a good day/evening so far.
At 2:20 AM, I was woken up by the DEXCOM alarming since I was under 80 mg/dl. I can't believe how it was so close to the number on my monitor today-- unlike yesterday when it was way off. I had a snack before going back to bed and then got up again around 6:30 AM. Oddly, even with an early morning snack, my blood sugar at breakfast wasn't very high. Compare that to yesterday for most of the day and you wouldn't believe it. This has to be the wake up/sleep method of the pancreas because I was lower even when I was at my job for most of the day.

It is Good that you came to know the low blood sugar by the alram.
I can not imagine what would have happened in absence of Dexcom Alraming in the middle of the night when you were asleep.
Though natural indications would be increase in heart beat, sweating and the other low sugar symptoms but many times it gets masked by some medications like Beta blockers.
My sugars been crazy lately. One night I'm going down to 50 BG losing vision in the center of my visual field, only seeing in the corners. Then next day BG is 200 fasting and I have to take 15 units of long acting insulin to bring it back down to 90. One day 60 units for the same meal is not working well, the next it is sending me low. I wish I had the DexCom. On wild BG days, I have to use a gang of test strips. My insurance only gives me 4 strips per day, so I mostly eat only one meal a day. I hope your machine acts better. I sometimes wonder if my meter is way off because it reads high sometimes, but my A1C is 5.3. I don't know what test to believe.
