[Diabetes-talk] Blood sugar levels and sleep.

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

My lows tend to be mid-morning, so again, depends on the person. And I
rarely eat bedtime snacks.

And as for what will help you sleep or not sleep, again, depends on the
person and not stats. For some, physical activity throughout the day
helps them sleep better, while for others, not so much. Because of the
baby, I usually exercise between 10 and 11 at night, and I don't fall
asleep any quicker, and this is also after a day of chasing a super
active, climbing, ornry one-year-old.

So really, generalizations can't be made.

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.
