Now imagine having that entire responsibility yourself, having to do it all manually. That's what we type 1 diabetics do every day!

The nighttime fluctuations could be legit changes in glucose level, but could also be weird sensor issues. The sensor will often give low readings when lying on it in your sleep. These are referred to as 'compression lows'.

The morning glucose spike you noticed is called the 'dawn phenomenon'. I inject a little insulin every morning to counteract it.
