Good Morning Everyone
Was just wondering anyone has anyone had much experience with using sleep aids and is on insulin?. It's a problem I've had for years insomnia tried all the sleep hygiene routine mattress change temperature change screens before bed etc. I'm working with GP trying to solve it have trialled amitriptyline so far not much joy about to try Promethazine well I was before a big wave of fear hit me.
I don't really get overnight hypos apart from the occasional one. My main fear is not waking up if one hits my hypo awareness is pretty bad as it is. I'm going to get in touch with diabetes team next week for advice. Did mention type 1 to GP said shouldn't be any issue with blood sugars etc.
I can get to sleep and back to sleep just wake up a lot during the night
