[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2146540, member: 238814"] My sleep patterns were never good even before I was diagnosed with diabetes [USER=505893]@Muddy Cyclist[/USER] But I might have had diabetes years before and was not diagnosed. Also I was not on low carb then. So I believe it is ‘just’ life. So many things - higher stress from more sources than ever before and computers and the internet (availability of constant news etc) all probably play a part. I can understand that Doc Martin drama making people aware about diabetes. It’s ‘only’ a tv drama but it can have more power in getting a message across than a so called information show. I know from experience with my own profound deafness, because long ago there was an American fictional drama which included the problems of a profoundly deaf person. I watched it, and unknown to me my daughter was watching it upstairs. She came down at the end of the program (she had been dismissive and derogatory about my profound deafness up to that point, and I think she was about 14 years old), and said “I’m sorry mum, I didn’t realise it was like that for you.” So, it is not really strange what makes people aware. They will take a message from a fictional program because you are not lecturing or trying to make them understand something. [/QUOTE]
