When I was succeptable to DP more when I was younger. My doctor told my parents that a way to fix it is to have a little alcohol at bedtime. I was 17 at the time and my parents felt that I was old enough to have a little alcohol so my dad would give me a small amount of Rum and Diet Coke every night. This fixed the problem and my friends always hated it saying "Man I wish I was Diabetic so my parents would give me Liquor".
