Is it okey to go to sleep with 3.8 in blood sugar?

I think you would be better eating some sweets like jelly babies or having some dextrose to get your sugar higher, not chocolate though, that won't help you, full sugar drink might help. It really needs to be higher so you don't risk a hypo. Please be careful

Okey Yes thank you. IT is 3.5 but drink soda a glass. Thank you

Please do not go to sleep until your levels are at least 5 and preferably higher.

Just to clarify 3.8 is already a hypo, anything below 4 is considered a hypo xx

Did you eat longer-acting carbs after your sugary food? It sounds like your basal insulin might need reducing.

To answer your question - no, it’s not safe to go to bed with a 3.8mmol. Aim for a minimum of 8.

Here is some information about low blood glucose (hypos) @Stressabeccy

Sometimes your BG can be low with no warning signs, or only very subtle ones). It is really important to treat those lows quickly too - otherwise your warning signs may become unreliable.

What is a hypo (hypoglycaemia)?

A hypo is when your blood sugar level, also called blood glucose level, drops too low. This is usually below 4mmol/l. A hypo, also called hypoglycaemia, can happen quickly. So it’s important to always have hypo treatments with you. It's also important to know what the signs are and how to treat...

Some people don't realise they are hypo because they are having low levels too often, so they lose awareness that their levels are dangerously low.
Many people taking insulin would want their levels to be above 8mmol/l when they go to bed.
