Welcome to NeuroTalk:

Yes, low blood sugar during the night can create nightmares.

I'd suggest you wake up when dreaming this way, and test your blood...I am assuming you have a glucometer?

This should be reported to the doctor, if you test low then.
A snack at bedtime with protein in it, will help. It may be that you need your insulin type or dose or both adjusted for the night.

There is a food supplement called Glucerna, that was developed to help people who experience lows during sleep. It comes in liquid and bar form and is metabolized slowly to help keep sugars level.
