Hi I've been sleeping really well. But I can only go to sleep after reading to about 1.30 - 2.00 am - luckily I'm retired and can sleep in most days, ideally 9.00 ish. My fasting BS been a bit high of late causing me to need more sleep! Used to need about 7.00 hours.

Yes, thanks she has had major flare up and understands T2 and Hashi links- but her daily readings very erratic and the whole testing exercise is to establish if she has T2.
