I have the same symptoms, It seems fairly standard that a low carb diet can lead to sleeplessness, as I have seen that referenced in few places,
I have a freestyle monitor so test when I wake up , the end result is that I can see the readings through the night when this happens I have checked each time and my blood sugars haven't moved at all.
Thus I do think that the sleeplessness is connected to the diet in some way, but I'm not sure its got anything to do with the blood sugar readings. Maybe we could discuss privately what we are eating - because I absolutely recognise your desciption and its annoying me too.
Thanks Cherry. I have only got my Codefree meter so made an effort to get up and test a couple of times last night. 7.0 at 1.30am when I went to bed. 5.5 at 2.30am the first time I woke. 7.1 at 3.30am didn't bother with the next 3 waking. and then 8.0 at 9am when I did get up.
How did you get your freestyle meter ? I've had to buy my own codefree as our surgery doesn't agree with type 2 testing.
