| Never had a rebound, but had my first hypo episode this moring upon waking (first since starting on Lantus; had them lots while pregnant and on insulin). Anyway....I recognized the feelings (clammy, bit shaky, elevated heart rate) and ate half of a ripe pear. I think it scared my husband more than me, poor guy. I guess my jump up in my bedtime Lantus dose from 8 to 10 units was too much...the past two nights, the 8 unit dose was producing waking readings of 118-122 so I thought my jump up in dose was justified. Guess I should have only gone to 9 units....live and learn!
