What little research I could find on the stuff talked about dosages in the 500 to 1000 mg a day range, so figured I would start with the 500 mg capsules and see what happens

Now these are super preliminary findings and might simply be coincidence, have only been using this for a few days now.

I did take a dose the day of delivery and ended up with no less than 7 low blood sugar alarms that night (really broken night of sleep on a work night) so I laid off for a few days to get me closer to the weekend.

I took the single dose, before bed, on an empty stomach (as per directions) for the past 4 nights in a row

I only got a single low blood sugar alarm overnight during that time (which is more "normal for me") so thinking that first time was "coincidence" and most "probably" not a result of the GABA

Now again, preliminary, but in the past 4 nights I didn't get "more sleep" (track with a smart watch) - still get my "typical" 6'ish hours a night whether working or not

BUT what I did notice is that at least during those 4 nights that my DEEP SLEEP was greater than my LIGHT SLEEP (and going back in the records for months my deep was always considerably less than the light/shallow)

If that trend continues then that alone would justify the supplement to "ME" - Deeper/REM sleep provides a ton of metabolic benefit which over time should put extra downward pressure on blood sugar - particularly fasting numbers - so something I will certainly watch

Again, this is barely 4 days worth of (data) but at the moment it looks positive, does not seem to be having any negative effect (no tummy ache, headache etc) and I do have a huge 200 capsule bottle so I will try this for the next month or two before I make a final decision as to whether it's worth the 20 bucks a bottle or if it's just another "snake oil that we Wish worked"

I shall keep you posted

Hkc and Grahamlamb good morning to you both. I have a habit of reading every comment you guys make. The both of you guys are experts in putting the pieces together.
Mayb someone could do a summary of your 2 points and a master document we c😃oukd build.
As a guide, can someone volunteer to put this information on insomnia aids together? Creating such a document would be priceless as we eqipp ourselves to to fight this monster called the BEAST otherwise known as DIABETES!. .
I so agree with Mr. Hkc and Mr Lamb - never! ever! ever! give up cos We got this one!

That is what I use is Melatonin when needed only, which does come in different doses and works for me well @A DiabetesTeam Member..
