Dneal, I feel your pain! I tried explaining this to my doctor and he didn't quite understand. This is a major problem that you have to overcome yourself.
My dietician was a great help. Before my appointment one day, I wrote down my past readings for a week.one night I actually tested my blood sugar 16 times. It was effecting my sleep and making me stressed. I couldn't go to sleep unless my BS was over 10mmol/L, and then more often than not I'd wake up an be 14 or 15, then have to correct it, then wake up again to test in case I'd brought myself down too low.
My dietician said to me "what happens if you do go low?" and my response was "I wake up". She said "exactly!". She told me to always have some lucozade at the side of my bed, along with a cereal bar. Have a slow release carb before bed such as a banana or slice of brown bread, and believe in ur body's ability to wake you up. She also said something like if you don't wake up, ur body utilises glycogen stores from the liver to raise your BS any way!
So as hard as it may seem now, try and relax. Try eating low GI slow release carbs to stabilise your blood, and have a good nights sleep
