I went to the endo last week and complained about being in so much pain that I can't sleep. My endo's reply was simple, tylenol. Turns out tylenol is diabetic friendly. How is it different from advil or aleve? I have no clue.
So I got tylenol extra strength, and it sort of worked.
Then I got tylenol pm, and even though I'm still remotely in pain, I sleep.
But it gets better.
Maybe it's from actually being able to sleep. Although right now I hardly sleep because I tend to cough throughout the night. But, it keeps my blood sugar low despite waking up late.
This is major because now I don't have to wake up at 8 - 9AM to have breakfast. I can wake up at 9:30 or 9:45 instead. And yes, 30 - 45 minutes makes all the difference in the world when everything is pretty much scheduled.
On non-tylenol days, waking up that late would mean a higher blood sugar reading. Why? The nighttime insulin would already be wearing off. However, tylenol pm is lowering my blood sugar a little allowing me to sleep in and feel remotely normal.
That's the goal, to feel a little normal.
