booze, sleep and BS

May 09, 2007 19:10

Hi, 
does anyone wake up really low the morning after they have gotten drunk? 
I drank both nights this weekend and took insulin (long lasting) before bed. I woke up the first morning after at 5am feeling nervous after having a nightmare and my BS was 56. The next morning, i woke up at 8am and my BS was 68. Do you cut down your insulin dosage if you have alcohol?
On which note, I'm wondering, do you ever have nightmares which make you feel nervous and it turns out it's b/c you BS is low? Does the low contribute to what kind of dreams you have? if that makes sense at all.

Another sleep related question - do you ever feel bitter because being diabetic and on meds, you're pretty much excluded from all research studies, especially sleep studies in which you could make a whole lot of money? I'm assuming insulin also counts as meds in that case, right?
