Hello everyone from 2 weeks i got problem that i got sleepy or as be in dream while im working it happened 3 or 4 times but last was heavy I couldn't recover and after being wake i test my bs it was 34 mg/dl I thought it was from adol pm or panadol night as i used them more than a month but i completely stopped for aweek ago
Is this from hypoglycemia or something else if anyone experienced problem please guide as it affects my job
Regards
 
You are going hypo at work it seems. You need to take less insulin at some point but I don't know when or where. You should talk to your Doctor. It sounds like your body is making you sleep to try and reserve energy. Do you not feel hypo before you get sleepy?
 
I never experienced this problem before and i don't have sweating or increase heart rate what makes me suspect in hypo that after i got conscious i tested myself and i was 34mg/dl
 
Do you take any medicines like beta blockers or blood pressure medications? I only ask because they can hide the symptoms of hypos. It does sound like your having hypos and are unaware of them?
 
Sometimes excessive sleepiness can be a sign of a hypo. Now you know that, at least you can be aware. If this is happening regularly, speak to,your doctor.

I took lortadine and pseudo ephedrine as i had flu maybe the problem was there
 
Bassiette, antihistamines and stimulants won't generally block the bodies adrenal response to low sugars. How long have you had diabetes and been using insulin?
