Hello! I probably have diabetes (I have increased blood sugar and glucosylated hemoglobin), although not officially diagnosed.
Due to this (I think) I struggle to get up some mornings, by experiencing diziness and overwhelming sleepiness, especially if I go to bed a bit late the previous day. I got 6 sick days in 8 months (including due to migranes) and my employer threatened me with dismissal. What could I do?
 
I would suggest that you go to GP and ask to be tested for diabetes and also have your nlood pressure taken in case it's abnormal. Going to bed late and getting up early doesn't give your body enough rest, it's like being half a running track behind the starting blocks. We all do it sometimes but frequently isn't sustainable. If you get a diagnosis you can move forward and start to tackle your health.
