I’ve just been diagnosed type 2 and a bowl of pasta will make me feel so tired I have to lie down and sleep. I have an appointment with a diabetes consultant on the 24th. I don’t understand why I’m having extreme reaction. Do I need to cut out carbs? Thanks

High blood glucose can make you tired to the point of falling asleep no matter what you're doing.
All carbs turn to glucose in the blood, and a bowl of pasta has a lot of carbs.

I'd recommend using a glucose meter to see how different meals affect you. But if a bowl of pasta makes you feel rubbish, that alone seems a good reason to choose something else to eat.
