The present invention relates to compositions, devices and methods of delayed and sustained release of energy molecules for brain function to treat nocturnal hypoglycemia. The composition comprises an energy molecule required for human brain function wherein the release of the energy molecule is delayed and then sustained over a period of time. The device is a transdermal delivery device comprising a reservoir layer containing the composition and a skin permeation enhancer formulation, an adhesive layer, a backing layer and a release liner. The method comprises administering the composition either orally or through the transdermal delivery device to a subject in need thereof immediately prior to going to sleep.
