Hello, I am 62 years old and suffer from diabetes. I take medication for high blood pressure, and insulin. I also take ribavirin for hepatitis C. I sleep very badly and was wondering if I can take melatonin. My husband takes it now since 2 months and is sleeping much better. User: |

Diabetics often have difficulty sleeping and melatonin can help you in tackling these problems. Recent studies show that blood sugar may rise slightly by melatonin in diabetic patients. On the other hand there are positive effects: it protects the pancreas, improves fat metabolism, protects against obesity and kidney damage and a good night's sleep is very important for the organism. If you are feeling well with your medication, there should be no problems. However absolutely ask your doctor for advice. When taking blood pressure medications there must be 4 hours between taking the blood pressure agent and melatonin. Best regards, User: KeyMelatonin.com |
