Lack of sleep, stress, also sickness will spike you. On the sleep issue try magnesium supplements, it's been an eye opener (or closer <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />) for me. Magnesium is mostly found in significant quantities in grains, seeds, nuts (dropping the refined grains can make quite a difference) - so up the nuts. Piddling out the water associated with hyperglycaemia will drop your magnesium and potassium. Alcohol will affect absorption of magnesium and potassium too. I was waking at 2am every night and not going back to sleep, it was killing me! I've been diagnosed with potassium deficiency but I'm beginning to think the magnesium deficiency is at the root of that. Fairly easy to get potassium in diet, magnesium is more difficult if you drop grains.</p></blockquote><p></p>
