Hello All, Diagnosed last Aug, Type II.. 3x500mg Metformin. My fbgs now average between 5 (90) and 5.3 (95).. Thanks to my learning from you. Since November.. I've started waking within three to four hours of sleep. From five minutes of waking I become hot and within another five minutes feel suddenly hungry to the point of nausea. (I test in at my fbg levels.) The feeling passes after 45 mins of a light snack. The last couple of weeks..The feeling hot then nauseous are happening during the day too, My readings at three hours after meals are a low 5. I realise my bgs are not low, but am wondering if my body is somehow wrongly perceiving me as being low? Sue. > Hello All, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Sue. I have had thousands of lows since 1971 and they don't affect me that way. I'm with you on the sleep though, up at 0400 evey day If I sleep that long. Maybe it is different with T-2's. I have went on Novolog and Lantus thing have gotten much better. I'm not much help. Charlie I'm sorry you wake early too..but it is nice to know I'm not alone. :) sue >> Hello All, >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Charlie >Hello All, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >Sue. Hi Sue Have a chat to your doc. It could be many things, not necessarily related to BGs and diabetes. I presume you're not getting high BGs an hour after meals. Are you snacking beofre bed? But I'm just musing. See your doc. Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.  SignatureEverything in Moderation - Except Laughter. Hi Alan, You presume correct. Portions and carbs under control, no highs at one or two hours after meals. :) Snacking before bed.. All musings welcome. Thank you. sue >>Hello All, >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. Sue, I would also get checked out by your OB/GYN. Pinecone Thank you pinecone. Its a possibility I hadn't thought of.. although I'm hoping for a few more years before I start flushing with power surges. ;) I normally eat a few nuts for my bedtime snack..Yesterday, I read on asduk a posting from a lady, that a protein drink before retiring helps her through the night. I mixed whey powder with unsweetened soya milk, added 1 teaspoon of splenda and another of 100% cocoa. I slept from midnight until 7am this morning..fbg 4.9 (89) If by luck or design I can't yet be sure..Maybe it was a fluke or I was overtired. A milky drink before bed was very soothing, so will try again and keep you posted. Wishing a very good morning to you all.

I slept from midnight until 7am this >morning..fbg 4.9 (89) I can vouch for the protein drinks. I've had insomnia all my life, but I accidentally stumbled onto protein drinks as a remedy. I now use the low carb ones, including low carb smoothies, two or three times a week when i can't get to sleep. Sleeping pills never helped me, but this does. Hello I'm that uk lady who posted about the whey protein drink. I'm really glad that it has helped you through the night, though, unless I've picked you up wrongly, perhaps this gives the impression that it is the main reason I use it. The great benefit for me is that my bgs are lower in the morning. On days off I can sleep later, and have porridge or toast for breakfast much later than normal, provided I go for a brisk walk within about 15 - 20 minutes from the first mouthful. Nothing like guilt free slopping around in my dressing gown on lazy days! Hope it continues to help both of us. >Thank you pinecone.

It really helps me get to sleep and stay asleep. Splenda gives me diarrhea and gut discomfort, so I have to steer clear of it. My doctor also suggested 1/2 banana as a bedtime snack, which seems to help, but not as much as the hot drink. PC > Since November..

I've stopped having wine at bedtime, because of a similar reaction - I feel sick around the 4.3 mark. I suspect the whey drink might be a good solution for you - or some other similar slow-absorbing food. Nicky. SignatureA1c 10.5/5.4/<6 T2 DX 05/2004 1g Metformin, 100ug Thyroxine 95/73/72Kg The same here Nicky, except my glucose point is still slightly higher than yours. I'm hoping to become more comfortable with lower in time. I too stopped my bedtime tipple a few weeks back. It was a great help lowering my fbgs when they were higher. Now they just need help to stabilise for longer periods at night. I think your right, slower absorbing foods are the answer for a longer night. Sue. >> Since November..
