I used to suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome, which often made me kick my legs while dropping off. As a child I also suffered from fumbling, whilst asleep, with bedclothes (there is a technical term for this, but long forgotten to me), which could lead to waking up with all my covers on the...

Just some initial thoughts. I'm only up to 5 Various tests. In the last few months I've had an ECG (electrocardiogram) an echocardiogram, an angiogram, and a CT scan. What you describe as a CT scan sounds like an echocardiogram. Mine was exactly the same as this picture...

Who's helping you with your dosing ? And any needed adjustments over time ? It will take a few weeks to get blood sugar down to normal levels. Geoff

Isn't a forum a 'group activity' ? If not, you're a goner :( Geoff

That person has sleep apnea. "By definition, if you have a sleep-breathing problem, your immune system is overly active. And so is your nervous system. This is why your body over-reacts" http://doctorstevenpark.com/colds-viruses-and-sleep-apnea So we always need to look beyond diabetes. I'd not...
