[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 369747, member: 55568"] It's probably not the snoring. I used to have obstructive sleep apnea but have used a cpap machine for years and have it helped me enormously. I slept right through or woke up for the loo maybe once. Shortly before my diagnosis for diabetes, I was up several times with a dry mouth, feeling as if I needed the loo, but it was more imagined than real, but it wasn't the snoring. My BGs and my cholesterol are near normal now. So is my BP. I'm still up 2 or 3 times per night. There was a radio article about it a couple of weeks ago and a lot of it is habitual. You get in the habit when you have uncontrolled diabetes and it's hard to get out of even when the diabetes becomes controlled. There were lots of suggestions such a not drinking after 7pm or even peeing into a measuring jug so that one could see the next morning exactly how little water one was passing. It seems to be more psychological and advice was to not give into the urge, because the urge is usually false, but to roll over and attempt to sleep. My experience is that if you make a real attempt to go to sleep, it keeps you awake. This is not exclusive to diabetics however. It's something called overactive bladder syndrome.
