[Diabetes-talk] Blood sugar levels and sleep.

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I have been told that your lowest blood sugar levels occur in the wee hours 
 of the morning.  Now with the newer type of insulins I do not know if that 
 still holds true.
 
In the 55 years I have had diabetes and have been on insulin, it was going  
back quite a few years, it was recommended that you take a evening snack.
 
I have suffered severe insulin reactions in the night time.  So that  is my 
2 cents on that.
 
I never did have any trouble before I went blind with my sleeping either,  
but I have been told I have non 24 hour syndrome.  So running yourself  
around does not mean you will get normal sleep habits.

I didn't  say my sugars were, or were not dropping overnight, I asked if 
they're  supposed to drop during sleep.
There is irefutable evidence that  congenitally blind people have 
trouble with sleep patterns, because of no  day night/darklight 
schedule, because light doesn't get through to the  pineal gland which 
is behind the eyes, and regulates sleep/wake  cycles.
Like Mike my use of a cpap has nothing to do with diabetes. I don't  
think it ever has, so that's one thing we can't blame on  diabetes.
