Over a year ago I started having a bad reaction to sugar or carbs or both, not really sure. I would get so uncontrollably tired that if the house was burning I would not be able to talk or move. My vision will blur, my speech will slur, and I will walk into things before I fall asleep. This will last about two hours and then it takes me about an hour to come out of it. It’s not that I just fall asleep it’s scary as during it I may be able to hear someone’s voice but it’s far away and no matter what I can’t move or respond. Not sure if this could be diabetes or carb intolerance. When I’ve read up on carb intolerance everything I read talks about being very tired and what not but not to the extent I get and not the blurred vision or slurred speech. This can happen if I drink a sprite it doesn’t even have to do with food. Some energy drinks cause it as well. At one point over a year ago the doctor had me test my sugar and a few times it would get Hugh but not always. Would appreciate any input. Thanks!
What does this sound like?

This is a diagnosis for a doctor to make. I'd make an appointment with your doctor and discuss this with him or her.. It sounds like a horrible situation to me and as you said, scary as well.

You really need a doctor's input on this. It could even be that your blood sugar is going too low rather than too high or it might not be anything to do with blood sugar at all. In your position I'd be pushing my doctor either for a diagnosis or a referral to a specialist who can give a diagnosis (maybe an endocrinologist but it's your doctor's job to refer you to the right specialist.) Good luck.
