My blood sugars are okay and I'm following a very low carb diet. I notice recently that I am absolutely exhausted after eating. It's a puzzle as there is so little carb in my diet. I had it today after osso bucco - no carbs involved. So today's entire input is avocado, a piece of cheese, parma ham and then osso bucco (no rice!). Then it's all I can do to stay awake. Any suggestions?
 
Have a rest. It will pass.
Used to be traditional to rest for a while after eating.
 
Can you check your blood pressure after a meal? Post prandial hypotension? This is what a friend discovered he had when he kept falling asleep after he ate.

Never heard of it but next time it happens, on with the cuff!
Thanks
