I started several medications, a low-carb diet, and swimming every second day.While I feel so much better (BG majorly decreased, more energy) every few days I am massively exhausted. This is purely a physical exhaustion, not depression (which I have). I can't stay awake. My head droops, my eyelids close. I have to go back to sleep. Sometimes I sleep for over 12 hours (with restroom breaks).I don't know if it's a medication side effect or the result of eating less carbs or what. I saw my doctor yesterday and apparently I have low blood pressure now, and she said it could be that.I'm hoping it'll go away as my body gets used to everything, but yes I'm having episodes where I'm nodding off in my tracks.</blockquote>
