Problem description:Hello doctor! My mother has been diabetic for more than ten years, and now the quality of sleep is very poor! I have been taking alprazolam tablets for several years. At the beginning, I could still sleep for a few hours. Now the 0.8mg dose no longer works for her. I feel my heart beating faster. Does the doctor have any good treatments to improve my mother’s sleep?
