Problem: Article: By checking your blood glucose levels, you will be able to determine whether your blood sugar is low or high. If it is low, you can treat the low blood sugar by having a snack. Tell your doctor about any fluctuations in your blood glucose levels at night. You may need to change your insulin injections if your blood sugar is either too low or too high before going to bed. If symptoms of low blood sugar cause you to wake up in the middle of the night, then the first thing you will need to do is test your blood sugar. Then, you can have a snack to help raise your glucose level if it is low. If your glucose level is low (typically less than 70), then you can eat 15 grams of carbohydrates, such as 4 oz of fruit juice or 7 to 8 pieces of gummy or regular lifesavers. Then, wait 15 minutes and retest. If your blood glucose level is still low, repeat the same snack. If your blood glucose level is above 70 and your next meal is more than an hour away, then eat another 15 gram carb snack. If you are currently on a tight blood glucose control schedule and experience nighttime hypoglycemia, you should ask your doctor if you are taking the right kind and amount of insulin during the day. You might ask your doctor whether you should replace your regular with a fast acting insulin at night. You might ask your doctor: "Should I try a fast acting insulin to prevent nighttime hypoglycemia?"
Summary: Check your blood glucose an hour before going to bed. Test and have a snack if you wake up at night with low blood sugar. Ask your doctor about your blood glucose levels.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may feel personally rejected if someone did not want to be your friend. However, this may not be personal. Try to look at the situation somewhat objectively. If you're being honest with yourself, was the rejection truly personal? Think about relationships in your own life. Chances are, you've rejected someone's friendship in the past. Maybe a classmate or co-worker kept asking you to hang out, and you kept making up excuses. Was this personal? Probably not. You likely just did not click with that particular person, or were too busy for new friendships. The person who rejected your friendship may have done so for similar reasons. Maybe they have a lot on their plate and aren't looking for new friends. Maybe they thought you were perfectly nice, but did not feel a strong enough connection with you. There's a good chance the rejection was not a reflection of your worth as a person. Rejection can cause a major blow to self confidence. You may be left feeling bad about yourself in the wake of a rejection. Instead of indulging feelings of self-pity, try to find ways to build your self confidence. Make a list of everything you like about yourself. Think about everything you've done well throughout the week. Take stock of your talents and abilities. This will all make you feel like a worthwhile person. You should also strive to remember your current relationships. Chances are, you have a lot of good friends now. Just because one person was not interested in your friendship does not mean you're not a good friend. Take time to reconnect with someone you enjoy being around, yet have not spent much time with lately. If you find yourself engaging in a negative internal monologue, stop. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. This will help bolster your confidence and sense of self-worth. Notice your thoughts throughout the day, particularly in regards to the failed friendship. You may, for example, hear the person who rejected you made plans with a friend of yours. You think to yourself, "I guess I'm just not cool enough to be friends with this person." Stop and redirect your thoughts. Replace negative thoughts with more positive ones. For example, "I didn't click with Sharon, but I know how much Felice values my friendship. I must be doing something right to have a great friend like Felice." Just because you're feeling rejected now does not mean it will last forever. Nothing is permanent in life. When you start to indulge feelings of negativity, stop and remind yourself of your worth. You are not going to feel bad about this rejection forever, even if it feels that way now. Eventually, you will move on and find new, better friends. Keep in mind that your emotions don't always reflect the facts. Yes, it's true that this one connection did not work out. However, that doesn't mean that connections will never happen for you.
Summary:
Avoid taking it personally. Boost your own self confidence. Engage in positive self talk. Remember emotions are temporary.
