[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 341134, member: 47233"] I got the Herbal Nytol from ASDA yesterday because I was determined to get a good night's sleep and try to break this habit of early waking. It contains hops, valerian and passion flower and it doesn't say anything on the box or in the leaflet about not being suitable for diabetics. It said they can make you feel drowsy through to the next day so I only took 1 instead of 2 one hour before bedtime. At bedtime I didn't feel particularly drowsy and read my Kindle for about half an hour before dropping off. I didn't wake up at 4 or 5am as usual. I slept right through until my alarm went off at 6.30 and when I woke up I wasn't in so much of a lather of sweat like I usually am when I wake up early. I do feel a bit groggy this morning, so I don't think I'd need to take the recommended dose, I'll stick to just the 1 tablet. I'm going to take it for a few nights to see if I can get a few decent nights zeds in and see if it helps break the habit of early waking. My BS has been higher than usual over the past few weeks and I'm putting that down to the fact that I've been eating more carbs than usual. I wanted to introduce a few things to my diet to see what happened - bananas, because I love them and miss eating them and I've been having one a day for the last month, plain digestive biscuits because ... I don't know why because I never liked them before I was diabetic and am still not keen but wanted to see how I tolerated the odd biscuit with a cuppa. I've been having 3 a day for the past month and of course, I've eaten the odd packet of crisps because for some reason I'm partial to them. The result? My FBS has been regularly around 7-7.9 I must get back on the wagon ... after I've eaten this banana! :think: [/QUOTE]
