Extreme Tiredness

[fin22]

I have been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic in November 2009. For the last 3 weeks I am now on metformin 500mg twice a day taken at breakfast and evening meal and simvastatin 40mg once a day taken last thing at night. Every time I have my evening meal (smaller portions) within half to one hour I fall asleep for about one hour. Tonight I had chicken fillets with noodles and onions and peppers and was out for the count for over an hour .When I wake up i feel cold, shaky, dizzy, confused and still extreemly tired. I have even cut back on alcohol - none for over 2 weeks.Can anyone suggest what I can do to help? Thanks in advance...FIN22

maybe check your bgs when you wake up, maybe they are spiking after your dinner?

Hi fin22

If I eat noodles my bg goes into orbit

Hi fin22

If you are not testing before and after meals perhaps you should start so that you can track what is happening; you can’t really tell unless you test.

I’m with Suffolkboi about the noodles; they also shoot my bg levels sky high.
