What is the lowest number you will go to bed with?

1

I refuse to go to bed before my BG is above 100. What about you?

2

if I am in the 70’s or Low 80’s I will have a snack … Higher than that I look at the insides of my eyelids!!!

3

My bedtime target is 120, but I will go to bed with it near 100 because lately my basal insulin is so spot on during the night that I wake up within single digits of where I went to bed.

If I suspect I could be dropping or if I know I have insulin on board, I will stay up another twenty minutes and see if I’ve dropped. If no drop, then I’m good to go.

4

Cant fall asleep if it is below 100.

5

I used to not go if under 100–but have CGMS now so not so worried bout it

6

120 is my magic number to sleep or not to sleep.

7

In general, I’m pretty comfortable in the upper 70’s or 80’s, when I go to sleep. Of course, I also use a CGMS, so I have an alarm, if the BG level is too low or too high.

Holly:

If my blood tests 100, I will eat a sandwich beore going to bed. That is quite adequate for me. If it’s lower, then I will wait until it gets up to at least 100 and take a sandwich.

I don’t have that problem. Mine is how high will I go to sleep with without rechecking!

10

In answer to my own question, I will probably recheck in an hour or two after coverage if bedtime is above 380.

11

I don’t like to be much below 100.

12

70 to 80 here. You know when you have had it so long, you can’t feel a low anyway. i figure if I cant feel it I might as well share it. My wife would hit me if she saw me write that. (please don’t tell here I said that)

Really if I am 70 at bed time, I will be alright for the night. Below that, I wake up lower than low and the wife is put in a bad situation of helping me out. She don’t like sharing that part and it definitely does not make us closer. Some things should not be shared.

I hate eating at bedtime but if my BG is <100 I must. But that does seem to keep me safe.

14

A good number for Me! is no lower than 120 other wise i will be real low by morning.

15

Mine has to be 120-130. It goes down slowly or stays stable. If it goes down and I hit 70-80, I wake up, take two glucose tabs and see you in the morning. I worked hard to get those shakes and taste in the mouth at 70. For a while I didn’t have them and it was hard to know if it would take a dip further. So I raised my target, stayed there, and voila. I’m happy to have the signals back.
