When your blood sugar goes low while sleeping, do you notice any of these changes in your dreams compared to usual? Select all that apply.

Does T1D impact where you choose to live? For example, a city with a strong endocrinology center, proximity to a hospital, an apartment on a lower floor in case you're low when coming home, etc. If so, tell us how in the comments.

Yes- When my blood sugar goes low, I often notice that I am having a dream that just keeps repeating like Groundhog Day- over and over and over… They never seem to resolve-they just keep repeating which starts to feel frustrating. I usually feel so frustrated I wake up, and check my BG because I’m awake anyway at that point. Over the last couple years I’ve begun to acknowledge it as a low BG signal and immediately wake myself up and without fail, every time I have checked, my BG is low.

I used to when I was younger and could feel my lows. I would wake up feeling like I had superhuman brain powers. Lol
