Could my Insomnia be low blood sugar?

[nell15]

Hi I'm wondering if my insomnia is to do with blood sugar fluctuations?
I've been waking up about 2am almost every other night, at its worst, and I lie there restless and my brain whirring away and I can't get back to sleep for a few hours.
I've noticed I get a bit "high" after anything too sweet and I seem to get a "drop" in energy afterwards. I also seem prone to fungal and yeast overgrowth type things like thrush and have athletes foot almost permanently despite using antiifungall creams

Could I be pre diabetic?

Anyone???

I used to wake up in the night and be awake for hours. I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes and then changed my diet. Now I usually get 8 hours solid sleep (except tonight ha ha).

I would ask your GP for a blood test to rule out diabetes, thyroid issues etc etc.

Get your GP to do a finger prick test to test your blood sugars.
