[QUOTE="Ricky, post: 2344711, member: 27137"] I know I am not being very helpful here but you lot have made me feel so much better. I am type 2 and I control with low carb/low GI diet + exercise and of late my fasting numbers have been going up . They are now consistently in the 7's and I have even had 8.5. My doctor doesn't want to know as he says he goes by the HbA1c which a couple of weeks ago was 47 (6.5). By lunchtime 5 hours after breakfast my numbers are in the 5's and 6 hours later after lunch are in the low 5's. My sleep is awful in that it is disturbed as I wake so often but I do go straight back to sleep. A Functional Medicine practitioner told me that my problem is high cortisol levels and that is what is waking me. The only way it can be sorted is t go to bed at 10.30 and sleep through to 6.30 - well no way as I am a night owl. I have been taking a product that I have red glowing reports on bringing down cortisol levels and helping sleep. Tonight will mark a week of taking this and so far I am seeing no difference in my sleep!! Maybe it needs a lot longer!! [/QUOTE]
