Hi folks. I wonder if you have a similar problem with constant sleepiness as one year progressed. I asked my doctors to double glyclazide as the 40mg before 10 years of diabetes, and she consent to 80mg as I asked. With the month after month the blood sugar rose to 15bg and as such I think I had hyperglycedia. I think I should consult to my GP soon. I think the problem is bg, but as I am not a dr. I wonder if the problem is not kidney failure.

Thank you,

Erin

dishonesty, people who throw garbage out on to the streets,
Have you tried lowering your blood glucose (BG) with low carb diet? Do you test your BG regularly (before & after meals)? High carb intake makes you sleepy. Could this be the problem?

Yes, but the diabetic drugs are no longer the right dose. I have been diabetic 10 years and only 40mg to 80mg. I think that has raised bg.
