[QUOTE="Mummybear3, post: 2299016, member: 512512"] I too am a fellow insomniac. Some days I just don’t go to bed. Others it’s snatched hours here or there. I have researched that it’s a bit of a viscous circle. High bloods can cause insomnia and insomnia can raise bloods. You get the picture lol. Also there’s a link with metformin causing poor sleep patterns. I’ve seen this on several websites. When I’ve asked about it in the past the doctor said the benefits of taking metformin out way the reasons for not taking it. I’ve suffered with insomnia for the best part of ten years now, so I really do sympathise with you. It’s a lonely world once everyone else is asleep. Rubbish tv, darkness, silence, boredom and frustration to name a few. Can the doctor not refer you to a sleep clinic? I never took my gps advice over that so cannot say wether it’s beneficial or not. But surely it’s worth a shot?? I was prescribed zopiclone for 10 days in order to “reset” my body clock. It did jump start it but sadly now I’ve fallen back into the same routine. I too have high bgs and they don’t seem to make me sleepy, if I do drop off straight away I literally have an hour and then ping!!!! Awake all night. I hope you can find some help.
