[QUOTE="Ruth B, post: 892236, member: 111960"] One of the main signs I have that my blood sugar has gone too high is that I start to go really tired, can't think straight and start to nod off. While I have always had a problem of falling asleep in cars (I don't drive so don't worry) it has improved immensely since I started watching what I eat, even if I don't actually test when I'm out I know enough of what I can manage. It has almost become a joke if I have more than I know I should for a treat that I'll be asleep before we are half way home. Try and test when you do feel like this, or at least try and test after eating so you have some idea of how high certain foods send you. Keep a diary of what you eat for a meal including the quantity of anything carb high, potatoes, pasta, bread etc., writing it up before you start to become tired, then noting that it made you sleepy afterwards. You might start to see the connection that way. [/QUOTE]
