Suggest Treatment For Insomnia And Severe Leg Cramps
Hello, my mother is 80 and has type 2 diabetes. She suffers from insomnia and leg cramps during the night. She s been taking melatonin at bedtime to no avail. Is it true that an oz. of dark cherry juice at bedtime will help her sleep. And will this juice affect her glucose adversely? Thank you.

The is no research supporting such a thing for insomnia. I suggest an addition of benzodiazepine like drugs at night can be discussed with psychiatrist.
