And what are you eating, or not eating? Starvation is not the answer.

Did you test right when you were feeling so sleepy after eating or is this a number taken at a different time today?

That doesn't tell you anything about your blood glucose when you have symptoms after eating.
Please test when you have that tired sleepy feeling after eating to see what happens.

What all day or for one meal? if it’s all day that’s nowhere near enough food imo so no wonder you feel bad.

With beans and porridge you need to check if they are suitable for you as they are not for many type 2. Test immediately before eating them and again after 2hrs. See what the difference is. If it’s more than 2mmol (36mg) then it’s too many carbs for you and eat less of it or have something else.
