I'm not sure if you're a man or a woman so...
If you are female, it could be related to menopause.
Otherwise, whether you're male or female - anxiety, thyroid problems and hormones (insulin is a hormone) can really affect your sleep patterns. Has this ever happened to you before or is it new.?
Have you recently started taking a new/different type of medicine.?
I'm not an expert on diabetes, although my mother had it and 200 is high - could you eat more protein, less refined carbohydrates for the next few days and see if that helps to bring it in line.? A High Protein/ Low GI Carbs is really good for diabetics to follow - I have those tendancies and when my diet is better (more meat, eggs, cheese and less foods that break down easily - like sugars & refined grains - even when found in natural foods), I feel much better in general.
I hope the info below can help with the insulin levels. Once they are under control, I'm sure that sleep will come!
Good Luck!

See your doctor!
Sleeplessness can be helped with some OTC Benadryl, but I'm not sure what other meds you're on so don't take it without consulting a doctor. Get your blood sugar under control and you should feel much better. Some oral diabetic meds will make you sweat as a side effect.Health Question & Answer
