Hi
@Ryann1990 and

I’m afraid that Reactive Hypoglycaemia doesn’t apply to T1s, since RH is where the body produces too much insulin and drives blood glucose down into a hypo. Although, of course there are parallels with a T1 having a hypo caused by injecting too much insulin.
Having said that, if you are experiencing sleepiness while blood glucose levels are OK (or, as you describe it a ‘slight increase’), with no signs of thyroid or anemia, then I would suggest you look at food intolerance.
Some food reactions can cause yawning, dozing, lack of concentration. I find that soya gives me brain fog and milk gives me yawning. Even a splash of milk in tea will cause 10 mins of yawning, to the point my eyes fill with tears. Yet I am fine with butter, hard cheese and cream, so I think wharever-it-is is found in the liquid parts of the milk. And soya has sent me to sleep. There are many, many foods out there that cause various issues for some of us.
Doctors can do tests for food intolerance, but they are expensive and time consuming.
I think that an exclusion diet is a good option. Its free, you can do it at home, and you can do it for as long, or as short, a time as you want.
