I don't have Diabetes and so feel unqualified to take part in this poll.

Anyone can take the poll-- even if they don't have either Type 1or 2 Diabetes. How well do you sleep each night?

How many times do you get up?

glo42 in reply to sandybrown

I don't often need to go to the bathroom during the night. I wake around 3 or 4am but go back to sleep quickly until probably 7.00am (ish).

You get up around the same time I do. I got up around 6:30 or 7 am each day.😀👍

I hadn't read the post properly. Sorry about that. I sleep around 6 hours each night, but I do wake up for a short while inbetween. I hope this is helpful to the poll.

No sorry necessary for anything. This helps with the poll and also the polls are fun. :-)

I get either 6 or 6-7 hours each night depending on if my CGM alarms saying that I have to test because I may be going lower than normal.

I get sleep with dreams only

I sleep for 6-7 hours most days but I go to bed before 10 PM and up very early every day of the week, this is partly my upbringing, farmer's life.

That’s a good idea for the evening. I drink decaf tea sometimes with meals and if I don’t feel good.😀

Adult Dyslexia is a hidden problem!,

You are saying this. "Not being very helpful I know but effected should be affected."

Which response are you referring?

(p&q) (b&d) (a or e) and so on.

I am Dyslexic, all my life I had problems, only after the age of 62 I went for testing!!!!

In UK there are many helpful organisation for testing adult Dyslexia.

The title - that is what I replied to and this is where my reply appeared.

I wasn’t making any reference to dyslexia because this is just pointing out the improper use of “effected” when it should be “affected’.

I used to look after my grand father when I was small. I will leave an d

Empty tin next to his bed an it will be full for me to empty in the morning !!. He lived to his late 80s. He did not have any health problems, only eye operation.

What has your doctor suggested you to do during the night hours? When was your last appointment with him/her?

viswamitra profile image
viswamitra in reply to Activity2004

Suggested that no water should be taken after 5 pm. Last appointment on 29-11-2019 . Has prescribed some medicines for the problem and I am waiting to see the result.The question is why bladder is getting filled quickly during nights,Is there any connection with the position of the bladder while lying in the bed and quick filling of the bladder in that position. .Is there any effective treatment available in any system of medicine other than homeopathy for the symptoms

Sir,, thank you. Now I understand your problem,thank you. Please consult your doctor. For kidney stones you can make a drink by boilin the very inner part of a banana plant and drink the boiled water, Flower , when it get small at the end of the banana bunch, make simple curry and eat it with rice, this can also help. Please check this with your local people.
