neutral  Karin and Folke Nettelblad (Folia Textproduktion HB): In this context, it is rather obvious that they refer to "insulinkänningar", which is frequently shortened into "känningar". You can also find Google hits for "nattkänningar" that confirms this.

  -> Thanks for the info. I checked "insulinkänning" in my Cressy's Swedish>English medical dictionary and found "hypoglycemic reaction" or "insulin reaction" entered for it. Interesting.
