She has a Dexcom now thank God and you get them that often you don't wake up. States they started getting more severe and would spend a couple of hours drinking as much juice as she can and eating foods to stabilize her sugar and that works for half an hour to an hour. Caller relays she has already had 2 lows this morning and was up all night in the 50's and 60's and could not get them above 70 for a very long time. States she feels like she is ok now.
