I am looking at my older son going through college: numerous nights without sleep or much sleep due to big projects, deadlines and finals. My younger (T1) son’s BG gets very affected by lack of sleep and tiredness, and he starts forgetting or not managing his BG well when that occurs.

I am worried about his not getting up during a low because he too tired (in particular after[what happened to him in camp](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/a-frightening-experience-at-sleepaway-camp/1524) last week). So you can see what a parent thinks about… Nightmares about what may happen to their children.
