Insomnia And Diabetes
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have had so much trouble sleeping for quite a while now. I have been finding it very hard to function and I even hallucinate at times. Does anyone have any ideas that could help me sleep?

Diabetics are very low in magnesium. Take at least 700 mg of chelated magnesium.

Thanks. I do take magnesium perhaps I am not having enough

Low magnesium levels can cause insomnia especially for diabetics, since diabetics are low in magnesium due to the meds. Try taking at least 700 mg a day, divided doses. Take 1 of the doses at bedtime.

@A DiabetesTeam Member I've also had tinnitis for years. So long that I just ignore it, mostly. I sleep with my radio on all the time; maybe just for background noise or maybe to block the constant ringing in my ears. I'm not sure which.
