When I say major fatigue, I mean falling asleep in my office chair or with my head on my desk. Its like someone switches me to the off position for 20-30 minutes and I cannot fight it.This is obviously concerning so I have invested in a monitor and tracked my levels today. There seems to be a huge dip at the same time the extreme fatigue hits:1220 (before food) 6.21245 - Lunch, scrambled egg on toast with cheese and a small piece of chocolate1345 - 8.01445 - 8.21450 - 6.9 (and I feel dreadful!)1500 - 5.6 (yawning, very sleepy, feel awful)1515 - 5.1 (still sleepy, still feel awful)1600 - 5.7 (feel ok, lethargy has gone)So within 30 minutes I've dropped 3.1 mmol/l!! I cant find any info on what the usual trajectory is for blood sugars coming down is, but this seems extreme to me. Could this be causing the general feeling dreadful and overwhelming need to sleep? This is a very regular occurrence, almost daily!Any help gratefully received.Many thanks</blockquote>
