I am, yes! I'm currently working on a tips and tricks video - will hopefully have it out next Sunday!

There are several things that possible can help this, but I believe everybody have from time to time nights of less sleep becaus of dificulties in getting sugar in range. But possible following things can help to reduce that number of nights: - Attach the sensor in a place you don't sleep on often. If you lie on the sensor, it can indicate incorrectly low due to compression and the chance of this can be reduced. - When attach the sensor, give the code of the sensor, test next day with fingerstick and when there is a big difference, calibrate the sensor. You can reduce the wrong values a lot by callibrating. I have not much wrong readings. - When he correct regullary in the night in such a way that it result in low suggar, put him during sleep in sport modus so that he correct less agressive and avoid faster lows. - Discuss the readings with your diabetologe and check if it would be a good idea to change the profile during night so that you can result in better time in range as result It must be possible that most of the nights it go good or with much less interuptions then now. But as told before, from time to time I have also some terrible nights.

@@friedelpas5637 Thank you. Excellent advice. I especially think the one about calibrating with a blood check each morning is something he needs to add. I appreciate that you took the time to offer this excellent advice.

I hear you 10000%! I always look for pj bottoms with a good elastic waistband that I could clip it onto (I attached a stick on clip directly to my pump - you can get them on Amazon and see what I'm talking about in previous videos before I switched to the Omnipod 5 about a year ago). And I would always face the pump screen inwards. A lot of people also just leave it loose and have it "follow them around" but that never worked for me personally. I hope this helps! Take a look at my video about hiding my insulin pump too - in case any of those ideas would be helpful!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8mjd9mWvde2j5c.html

Struggling with sleep is just part of being an adult. 😂

Because when you are asleep, you have no direct control over blood sugars. You are asleep, so you cannot check your blood sugars to see exactly where it is at. And being asleep, you cannot react to a high blood sugar by taking extra insulin or exercising. And if low, you cannot eat something to bring it up. You are relying 100% on the hybrid pump to keep your blood sugars at the correct level. Or if using a regular pump, that your basal pattern is perfect all night long. Or if using injections, that your basal insulin perfectly keeps you in range all night long. So 99% of the time, a diabetic will wake up once, twice, thrice during the night to check and or correct blood sugars.

@@russellseaton2014 You wake yourself up up to three times every single night just to check on your blood sugar? That's some dedication.

@@russellseaton2014 I'm running now xDrip on my phone to connect with the sensor toghether with the connection with the pump. That can give you alarms when you go out of range. They give a very loud anoying alarm and keep it repeating until you react on. So in that way you will be awaken when it go out of range and so long it go good, you can sleeping the night long. Before I was running xDrip, there were several times that it was gone wrong because in the sleep I not hear the alarm of the pump and from the dexcom app. So stay sleeping, getting worser and then waked up by the paramedics in the morning because it was far too low. Got such situation about once a year before. The alarms off xDrip are much better and loader and keeping running so you always react on it or someone else at home and since then I never got such serious out of ranges anymore. Is also very usefull for other things, get spoken reading of your sugar level and trend. Very usefull when doing sport. Get then those readings in my ears by earbuds and so know very fast when I need extra sugar during sport without have to looking all the time to your pump. Many others have music in their ears when cycling, running or walking, I have my sensor readings in place. At least the better alarms give me at least much less stress during night and so most of the time better sleep, excepts in nights that it is not easy to manage sugar well.

Low & high blood glucose can make you feel awful / sick/ sore head or stomach. High bloods also make you need to go to the toilet. Lots of physical reactions can wake you as well as anxiety and device alarms
