Re: Autonomic dysfunction
If you mean dysfunction of the autonomic system caused by diabetes ie autonomic neuropathy . It's a form of neuropathy affecting those nerves that control things we don't think about to control. There are a whole raft of things under this heading: digestion, sexual function,sweating, urination , respiration, production of cortisol and other 'fight or flight hormones'
There are lots of people on here that have some problems with autononomic neuropathy, though they may not have given it a name. Neuropathy can result in things such as , gastroparesis (delayed digestion), sexual disfunction, problems with temperature regulation leading to sweating or simply dry skin, postural hypotension, problems with dilation of the pupils resulting in poor night vision , hypo unawareness, control of urination leading to frequent utis ,cardiac arrhythmia and others.. Obviously these problems vary in the degree of seriousness. Individually the problems are not at all rare, almost all people on here probably have one or more of these symptoms at some time

Re: Autonomic dysfunction
Hi Shygirl,
Sorry you are struggling with your sleeping (I see from your post at 4.38am). I know things are tough with this diabetes lark, and some have it harder than others.
Hope things get better with you soon

you sound as if you havve got very low.
It seems trite to say this, but only you can do something about it.
What do you enjoy and what do you do well? Focus on these. Also if there is something you can do for other people.Nothing is more satisfying.
I do hope ou feel more positive soon
