Medical Conditions - Nocturnal Hypoglycemia

Nocturnal hypoglycemia occurs when the blood glucose falls below 70 mg/dL during sleeping at night. It is commonly seen in diabetic patients taking long-acting insulin at night. Having alcohol consumption in the evening, missing dinners at night, and a high level of basal insulin cause nocturnal hypoglycemia. It is prevented by taking a carbohydrate diet at night, taking dinner regularly, and avoiding long-acting insulin at night time.
