So I don’t have as many overnight lows as I used to on Lantus…on my Lantus regimen they were a fact of my life…but I still get them.

I treat with juice boxes on my nightstand. And then I chase the juice with water from my nightstand.

This helps when I’m super sleepy and don’t want to become super awake from re-brushing my teeth in the middle of the night. My dentist said that chasing the juice with water (and swishing it a bit) will do SO much to clean and protect my teeth.

I have super groovy teeth that hold onto everything solid…so glucose tablets are a bad idea for me overnight. I can’t use those without really needing to floss and brush afterward. Which kills my sleep tally for the night.

Anyway. Hope this is helpful to someone!
