Does nibble of fatty protein before lying down not helpful
@lucylocket61?
I've resorted to keeping meter next to bed and in the past fatty protein to nibble before I rose to block those liver dumps. Liver dumps can occur even with an afternoon nap.
I'm too awake through the night with autistic son and his wet bed off/on. Night terrors triggered less now blocked winded is medicated. Even night is different. More stressful than others. He has good days and bad days, bless him.
I guess it's how I react to his problems make my stress worse. Tiredness and/or pain makes that job harder which I know you suffer with both.
My levels are very low and can be high but not as high with I was 9st heavier. I'm no longer using insulin but I'm flapping around levels wise. Hba1c was 59 last time with insulin. God knows now.
Stress cannot be avoided but relieved quicker in some occasions I guess. I'm my biggest critic on stress busting. Calmness is conjured then it happens. I'm human so by far from being perfect. I just try... try my best every day which is OK. I think many forget to accept their limitations. Everyone has them. Many professionally disguise their weaknesses and emphasis their stronger points. Myself I like to work on my weaknesses but in a measured way. I'm always looking for my next target but it's a one not always numerical.
Protein could be your answer in combating morning fbgs being higher than you feel comfortable with.
Please don't let this need stress you more. Maybe your putting too much pressure on yourself. If you relax it will reflect on your hba1c.
Any ideas for relaxation techniques that's good for YOU?
