Hi, I was diagnosed a couple of years ago as a type 2 Diabetic. I've never really adjusted my diet that much so I know there's a lot of room for improvement. However on the whole, I eat fairly well. For the last month or so, I seem unable to carry out my normal day to day work activities without nearly falling asleep. It's more than just usual tiredness, it's complete exhaustion to the point of my hands dropping on my keyboard, my head drooping, I start mumbling and my eyes closing. I have just had a further HBA1C test but my last one showed an increase to 57. I've got a testing machine and test my blood when I wake up and it's always around 9 despite me fasting for 8-10 hours. During the day it averages around 7 and depending on what we've had for tea, it will be somewhere between 7-10. I rarely get a higher reading. The averages come back at 9.4.
Clearly I can't go on like this. Is the drowsiness likely to be caused by my diabetes?
