| Angeldove, when I started insulin (Lantus), I went to a new low for me, even though it wasn't low by normal standards, and it woke me from my sleep. I was twitching all over and I knew that I was lower than I had been for some time, so I stirred some sugar in a glass of water and drank it. A few minutes later I was okay and I went back to bed.
I won't say that you can't die in your sleep from going too low, but I think it's extremely rare. Taking insulin greatly lowers your BG numbers and gets you back into control very quickly....it did for me. No oral medication did this for me, so insulin is the best way to go, plus there are no stomach upset side effects when you take insulin.(all oral diabetes meds upset my stomach).
