Great information Ardelle my ex wife had/has what is known as brittle Type 1 Diabetic brought on by taking the pill back in 1971 , now when she had an hypo normally at night as you described we would give her an glucagon injection , which with added sugar from sweets would send her into High blood sugar, being sick, not able to keep anything down etc, this in turn resulted in hospitalization, drip etc etc followed by a few days of stabling in hospital.
This was before the days of Home Best testing, so to day in 2011 we are all better equipped ,
I can only agree with you saying avoid at all cost Hypos in the first place
Since 2010 I also have been on Insulin Injections (long acting) I have had Type 2 Diabetes since 1994 progressing from Tablets, to Insulin in 2010 I can not too strongly recommend that you Test your blood on a regular and at different times during to day, so you Health professional has a better view of your overall control or lack of it.

Somogyi Effect
The tendency of the body to react to extremely low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) by overcompensating, resulting in high blood sugar. The Somogyi effect, also known as the "rebound" effect, was named after Michael Somogyi, the researcher who first described it.
When blood glucose levels drop too low, the body sometimes reacts by releasing counterregulatory hormones such as glucagon and epinephrine. These hormones spur the liver to convert its stores of glycogen into glucose, raising blood glucose levels. This can cause a period of high blood sugar following an episode of hypoglycemia.
The Somogyi effect is most likely to occur following an episode of untreated nighttime hypoglycemia, resulting in high blood sugar levels in the morning. People who wake up with high blood sugar may need to test their blood glucose levels in the middle of the night (for example, around 3 AM). If their blood sugar level is falling or low at that time, they should speak with their health-care team about increasing their food intake or lowering their insulin dose in the evening. The only way to prevent the Somogyi effect is to avoid developing hypoglycemia in the first place.
