Food & sleep

I've noticed lately that after a afternoon meal I need sleep. Only since being on insulin has this occurred, is it that my sugar levels have risen? As I'm new to this insulin thing.
Also I'm more prone to water infections since being on insulin. But this tiredness just does me in. My weight is on the increase even though in 2011 I had my stomach removed, and a new hip restricts me from alot of exercise even though it was done 2 years back, but was involved in head on car crash 11 months back that did my hip no good.

But I walk or cycle not far and cut out alot of sugar, but this sleep thing I can't figure out.
