[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1404212, member: 6467"] I was quite struck by what you had eaten; those on here who try to avoid carbohydrates may have flinched slightly. Anyway, here I go: :woot: slimfast - no real comment, assume you are trying to lose weight? It is a bit carb heavy. skimmed milk - nearly pure lactose (a sugar) in water. Full fat might be better. Banana - loads of carbohydrate and a no-no for most (but not all) T2s [Carvery - and the word "just"!] Yorkshire - very high carbohydrate Carrots - root vegetable, and medium/high carbohydrate 2 roast potatoes - again high carbohydrate, but better for you than... spoon full of mash - carbohydrate mashed down for the quick and intense blood sugar hit. So I can readily believe that after a carbohydrate orgy at the carvery you might have gone hyperglycemic and become very sleepy. Had I been eating at the carvery I would have had turkey with extra turkey, peas, runner beans and cauliflower (lashings of vegetables), no gravy (because they usually put sugar in it) and if possible loads of butter on the vegetables. This would have been a good low carbohydrate meal and hopefully also filling and satisfying. Not everybody believes in the Low Carbohydrate High Fat (LCHF) eating approach but eating lots of carbohydrates usually (not always?) makes T2 diabetes worse. As others have said, are you testing? In your first post over a year and a half ago you said: so you had a test kit then. Driving is important for your own personal mobility and independence so it might be wise to take the same precautions as a T1 or a T2 on insulin or some BG lowering medications. Test your BG before you drive and every 2 hours if on a long journey. I would also suggest not getting up from the table and straight into the car; have a sit and a coffee or something for a little while before you test. I looked back but can't see what medication you are on. Knowing this might help us with helping you. [/QUOTE]
