Depends entirely on whether I am hungry in the late evening, or not.
Im on antipsychohics so they knock me out ha ha! lol
Na anythins worth a try mate. If you dont mind meds ask for amytriptiline (sp?) They help relax you a wee bit, a lot of people take them and theyre not addictive
I wish all of thios made sense to me. I was diagnosed 2 months ago and have had nothing explained. Nobody seems to be botheredCould someone explain to me why you all need/want to eat/drink before going to bed please?
Some people eat before going to bed because it stablises their glucose readings others because they need to take medication before going to bed. Everyone is different. You are probably a prediabetic type 2 not pre diabetic type 1. Type 1s are more likely to have a drop in sugar levels and risk going into a hypo ie sugar is too low. type 2 are more likely to have hyper too much sugar. If you go into a hypo during the night it can be very bad for you. This is why some T1s will eat to ensure their glucose levels do not drop too much. If you need anything explaining, do ask. Most people on the forums will respond to direct questions.I wish all of thios made sense to me. I was diagnosed 2 months ago and have had nothing explained. Nobody seems to be bothered
Think my post above explains why I eat a supper - a bit more info - I have an adult son with special needs -we eat at 5pm but my nights can be far busier than my days - if he doesn't sleep then I have to be up to keep him safe - I get hungry and also my bs is often in the low 4s before I finally fall into bed - if I don't have a snack about 9 o'clock the little bit of sleep I do get I can be disturbed by me having a small hypo which is completely avoided if I have my earlier snack
Crackers with peanut butter- lovely and effective!Is that the full list every night?
I am a TYPE 1 diabetic, as is my son also , my partner is type 2 . He doesn't eat before going to bed and I was curious as to why people felt it was necessary.Some people eat before going to bed because it stablises their glucose readings others because they need to take medication before going to bed.

For me, to stop having lows, during early hoursI wish all of thios made sense to me. I was diagnosed 2 months ago and have had nothing explained. Nobody seems to be bothered
all seem to be about some protein, and a bit of carb--wonder which is doing the most good...Hi, I have just found this information, " Foods For A Good Nights sleep"
1. Half a banana / a handful of Almonds or cherries
2. Wholegrain crackers with peanut butter.
3. Small mug of warm milk.
4. Half a turkey sandwich / with low sugar cranberry sauce
Interesting going to try these as I would give anything for a good nights sleep.
I can explain the milk and turkey - high in tryptophan - an amino acid that promotes relaxing sleep - especially in warmed milk. As for the other items, I'm no expert but these look like high carb items, slow rel;ease carbs but carbs all the same. If I ate these I would fall asleep almost instantly at any time of day. I once ate a banana at an all day revision course for a professional exam. The stuff we revised in the morning - no problem, but the stuff we revised after lunch (banana) - absolutely clueless, blank, as if I wasn't there.Hi, I have just found this information, " Foods For A Good Nights sleep"

Th almonds would be fine, I have a supper of about 12g of carbs - sometimes a sandwich of 1 slice of burgen stuffed with salad - lettuce is supposed to be sophomoric - can't say it helps me sleep because home circumstances mean a four hour sleep is a good night for me - I eat supper because I am hungry - I get up at 5 am and don't get to bed until at least midnight - sometimes don't get to bed at all - I eat my tea at 5 so definitely couldn't get through my night without some supper at 9ish!
saw your stats/byline 145 lbs - wow.
