Sleep Disturbance
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello everyone! I have type 2 and have this problem in the night. I wake up at around 2:30 every night. My hands and feet are tingling, ears are ringing and I have a headache. It feels like my breathing has gone very very slow. I’ve been for a sleep apnea test and the Dr says I don’t have it. If I take glucophage it makes it worse so I control my sugar with diet.

With the feet and hands tingling , maybe you should ask your Dr. about Gabapentin this will help with the feet and hands and maybe the headaches , if that doesn't work do what I said before , smoke a joint !!

Looks like those of you often wake up at night should measure your blood glucose at those times to see if it has anything to do with the cause of the problem.

I use specially tinted glass to block blue light. I bought them on Amazon and they fit over my glasses. I used them when watching TV and using my phone at night.I also have a blue lighter filter app. on my cell.

What is sleep? I get on the average 4hrs sleep a night, and up @ 4am every morning wherever I’m working or not. I’m a type 2, sleep apnea and severed ADHD, so it’s takes me up to 2hrs to get to sleep and when awoken by any distraction no sleep for me. So trying to balance these issues it’s a daily change.
