[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2308755, member: 401801"] I've suffered nightmares since '91. Turns out there's a bit of a problem with my brain not switching off, part of it seems to remain awake. And yes, the worse or more vivid the nightmares, the worse my blood sugars. Stress can trigger a response from the liver which then dumps glucose, which may be what's going on. Recently I've started sleeping better with a weighted blanket. (Yes, I am aware that I am typing this at 4 in the morning, but a migraine woke me, not the nightmares. ;) ) Might want to give that a try too, could be a less smelly solution. And maybe garlic supplements would work? Less smelly, but if raw cloves work for you, go for it. They won't harm your BG. :) [/QUOTE]
