[QUOTE="Beelady, post: 2582111, member: 200217"] I have been looking after my husband of 37 years of marriage, for 3 years since he was diagnosed with Alzheimers. My GP put me onto a mild antidepressant for what he called 'Carer's Stress'. My fasting blood sugars became mid teens on most days. Unfortunately he died suddenly during the night of 6th December. It was a traumatic event for me because I had to be talked through performing CPR under the direction of the Ambulance control unit. Unfortunately it was not successful and neither my efforts, nor those of the ambulance crew could save him. I am utterly devastated, not sleeping in spite of having sleeping tablets and comfort eating all evening until I go to bed. I used to be very careful keeping to a low carb regime but now I just eat anything. Last night I had four croissants before bed. That's as well as dollops of Nutella just because it tasted nice. I was diagnosed a month ago with Pulmonary Fibrosis and I'm finding it difficult to walk to town and back (2km) and had to sit on garden walls to catch my breath and stop the dizzy spells. I have heard that CBD oil can help to control blood sugar and also induce sleep. Has anybody had any experience with it? [/QUOTE]
