[Diabetes-talk] Blood sugar levels and sleep.

[limestone lady]

Hi all:
I've been reading that there is a deffinite link between sleep and 
blood sugar, and I'd be willing to bet that those of us who can't sleep 
well at night, due to the condition called retinopathy due to 
prematurity have a double whammy.
What I want to know is, is blood sugar suposed to drop during sleep, 
and is that why a bedtime snack is often reccommended?
I guess what I would really like to hear is, how many of you have sleep 
problems, even wearing a cpap or bypap machine, and what effect does 
this have on your blood sugar, or do you think it works the other way round?
Linda.
