Any stress affects blood glucose numbers

Although I’m loathe to blame diabetes for my ailments I noticed that I only seemed to get insomnia after I got diabetes. Fortunately insomnia doesn’t strike very often.

One cause of insomnia for me is during the night I get hot, not night sweats but a dry heat. Most times this is linked to having high bgs at that moment.

You're right. I myself need 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Being an insomniac sometimes I don't fall asleep until 5:00 in the morning if at all. Each body is different.

My stress level was very high and so were my numbers and I found that if you rid of the toxins in you life you will do a lot better this means toxic people included. My sugar levels with the stress level down are.so much better now. I went from numbers of 576 down to 217 in days and am getting better sleep as well.
