I caught a cold a few days ago, just a normal common cold with runny nose etc, not man flu. But Sunday evening at approx. 5pm after very low carb dinner I just couldn't keep my eyes open and went up to bed, I didn't wake up again until 1pm Monday afternoon. This has never happened to me before and was wondering if it could be to do with my type 2 diabetes. I am diet controlled and my Hba1c was 34 earlier this month.

Your Hba1c is low so your diabetes probably wasn't the problem. The cold must have been a little more wearing than you indicate. Look on the bright side, at least you don't have polyuria.

I have heard people say that when they first low carb they have a sort of flu but with such a low Hba1c low carbing does not seem new to you.
