[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1404197, member: 100904"] [USER=135105]@GerryOB[/USER] I am really sorry for your distress due to the sleep problem. Please follow advice already given and tell the doctor what you have told us here. It could be the diabetes control needs some tweaking, or as some have mentioned it is possible sleep apnea is causing this. I also know of someone slim, not diabetic, who had a similar problem of dropping off to sleep during the day, and of stopping breathing several times at night during sleep. The problem for that person was not diabetes or sleep apnea, but acid reflux which was quickly resolved with the correct medication. Though not until a sleep study and HbA1c had ruled out diabetes and apnea. Whatever is causing your sleep problem needs to be investigated. Oh and please do not drive, or undertake other hazardous activities until you can be sure you are not going to fall asleep suddenly again. Let the need to get out and about be the motivation to get checked by doc. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
