Hello Shirley Kay, Yes I have had that happen to me before. Part of it sounds like what I used to call potato poisoning. When I would have too many carbs I would get so sleepy I would fall asleep while sitting up and typing.

I know now that I had too much glucose floating around in my blood. It feels like the Thanksgiving Day body slam after a traditional dinner. A lot of people blame the Tryptophan in the turkey when it is really a reaction to a hyper-glycemic condition.

Another thing it might be is your body is fighting off an illness. My test readings will spike even before I feel ill.

I am just spinning my wheels and throwing out ideas. I may be wrong. I would contact my doctor and see what he has to say about it. That last sentence is probably the most valuable of all the other sentences that I just typed.

Best wishes.

Will

Before I was diagnosed I felt like that but have not since. Even when I was unable to walk for 5 years.
How high into the 200's?
did you eat b4 your moring walk?
It may not even be related to diabetes, do you think it is at the point of calling your doctor?
did you see a dietitian? are you following the diet?
a nice 30 minute walk would wake me up.
I hope everything turns out ok.

Hey Will.

You said.
"A lot of people blame the Tryptophan in the turkey when it is really a reaction to a hyper-glycemic condition."

You are the first one that I met on line that is aware of the Tryptophan in turkey.

I learned about it in my 20's in a book called
"Sliced" written by body builders. I forgot the name but I am sure we are talking about the same thing. You know your stuff and thanks for sharing.
