Hypoglycemia

I’m 22 years old, I have had type 1 diabetes for two and a half years, I take five to six shots of Humalog a day depending on what my sugars are in addition to 35 units of NPH at bedtime, and I sometimes get really bad sugar lows in the night. This is such a scary feeling and very embarrassing for me. Is there anything I can do about these reactions? Will they get better or will they get worse?

He has been getting very tired lately (at any time of the day), it just doesn’t seem normal for a 13 year old boy to be out of energy as much as he is, and he had a very low blood sugar at bedtime. Do you have any advice that might help?
