Anyone else out there that can't sleep. Wide awake as normal so tired then want to sleep all day but can't. I do have back and joint problems too so does not help. Just me boreddddd
 
Hey
I also duffer with joint problem and also a type one... during the day and at work I can't wait to either nap or get to bed at night but when it come to actually going to bed, can't sleep till stupid o'clock in the morning
You're not alone haha x
 
I have badly frozen shoulders and wake most nights at about 3 am and sometimes cannot sleep again.

Perhaps get your thyroid tested. Thyroid issues very common for Type 1- you could be hyperthyroid?! Joint problems also symptoms.
 
I have been keeping my sugars high for a long time now to avoid hypos. (I am very hypo-sensitive and a mild hypo can screw with my mood for days.)

I have found that if my sugars are above 6 I do not sleep very well. When I accidentally end up below 6 over night I sleep much better. But I avoid it because the risk of hypos is too great. FML
