Stop sleeping well, I already consider it a complication of diabetes

For me that it has been to have diabetes and stop sleeping well, when I do not wake up because I am with a downturn, it is because I do not sleep waiting for glucose to normal levels, with that of years that I have been with this ...

Can we consider that stopping sleeping is a side effect of type 1 diabetes ???

What do you think?

Greetings!

I had never thought about it but if lack of sleep affects daily life I would say yes.

It is clear that not being able to rest well is a fat problem.If you have a hiccup, put on sugar, a juice, glucose or whatever;Then he finishes with a cookie (who gets up to wash his teeth, who? I don't, of course).If you have a hyper, put on clicking ... and you see the alarm clock and thinking that you only have 4 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours to sound ...

In my case, if I did not have an MCG, I would be in the underworld: to have less than a year with DM1, I barely have symptoms with the hypos.If I am sitting or standing, I notice something, although little.If I'm lying, even if I am not asleep, I don't notice anything at all.Only when I am around 25 mg/dl, I have sweats of death, palpitations and blurred vision.

Let's see if they finance once and for all MCG and stop so much subcutaneous patch and capsules that adhere to the stomach.Until you know how to regenerate beta cells or develop a true artificial pancreas, it would be appreciated that they made us easier and, above all, safer the control of our glycemias.

That you have to send insulin to eat a miserable apple is already a complication and a tragedy of life: d but seriously, that they have me with the "great advances" and the "diabetes reversed in mice" and never nothing verified inhumans and far from a cure.

We still have very imperfect treatments ..
We cannot control everything..
And you have to live calmer.

I didn't always sleep well, since I am nervous and I give a lot to the head.But with diabetes I have never returned to sleep well and 25 years ago I have it.

The MCG and the alarms I think they have facilitated the issue of going to sleep although in my case I would not know what to say, I explain myself.When I didn't have MCG, I was going to sleep and if I had hiccup I woke up that fortunately there were not many but if I didn't have a hypo and I woke up I was not looking at the glucose in the early morning to see how I was;Now I have alarms but when I wake up at any time in the morning I look at the phone to see how glycemia is with what I have gone in 150 and at 4 in the morning I am in 105 I begin to make mental calculations to see if I have toTaking something and in the end many days unintentionally revealed or correcting if you are high, before I did not know that glycemia had not worried me so much and I think I slept better ... the other solution I see is to leave the phone out of the reach of myhands and if I'm low that the alarm sounds, without more.

But Total Menete according to the title of the thread @fer

I share 100% what you just explained @sigsauer, glucose control does not understand hours, both day and night, and it is very common for the alarms to sound at dawn ... what is detrimental to good rest,A small torture, no doubt!

@Fer I removed Hiper's for my mental health and that of those who sleep at home ... or :)

I resist removing the alerts, but there are nights that I regret!

I have the free, then I alert the balls, but if it seems to me the most unbearable that the bomb wakes me up when it warns me that I have the reservoir low or the low battery I have no sound I put in vibrator and it is extremely strong the vibrator seems likeThey will electrocute you: D is very Algiers to wake up for that.

At the moment, I sleep very well.
I did not carry McG, but when I wore it it didn't rest the same.At least now I disconnect my brain: p.I assure you that you can be without mcg, I know that it should return to the modern, but that laziness !!

My daughter does not use a continuous meter and I think she lives much calmer.The day you really get a reliable and small one will put it, with alarm only below 50.

I am little sleeping with or without diabetes.
Since I am a diabetic, if I wake up as today at 3:43, the first thing I do is measure and if I am high, I get up and put insulin.And then I hope to see if it goes down, so in the end I don't rest.
Yes, the quality of sleep and life in general.
Before I slept at least 6 hours in a row.

I share what was said, sleep a night of pull ???I do not remember it, if it is not because of alarm xdri, it is simply because nothing has sounded and already ... you check it, and I am absurd, but I spend the free reader, the free app on my mobile and then now, you tryGo back to sleep.

totally agree.There are very complicated nights to be able to sleep in a row, and if as me, you reveal you, fatigue the next day shows.

I agree that it is an added torture to the disease, many nights happen to me that when I go to sleep I am too low to wait for it to go up, then others at very high early if it is time to correct and wait sometimes sometimesIt passes 5 or 6 times to if bad night my doctor calls him to have a Toledo night goes brown this of the disease

Greetings colleagues, for now I am without McG waiting to put it in a couple of months (the free freestyle, with the Roche Insight Insight bomb).But you carry all reason, you can't sleep loose.I usually sleep about 5 or 6 hours in a row and I give myself with a song in my teeth.I think that if we manage the rations of hydrates and suppress the fats at dinner, the hypos or hyper would be minimal, getting more stable glucose levels and thus I suppose we would sleep more calmly.This is my humble opinion.A big hug and take care of friends.

Well, I must be from another planet, I sleep almost always, I have once woke up for the descent, as almost without opening my eye, I stay for a while analyzing the existence (and recover) and I will sleep back as if nothing.

Some also to be like dreaming strange things, I wake up half pissed off, I measure me, high, I put a couple of units and sleep again 😴

But this is not common.

I have always thought that the more pending you are and the more you turn it, it is worse, the glucose levels flash, but this is my thing.

Diabetes is a general complication itself, another thing is that we carry the best we can and fight to the last drop of blood.
