Hello All,
Boy, have I had a crazy day! Everytime I checked my BS it has been in the high 200s, but that's not the crazy thing.
The crazy thing is that I have been sleeping ALL day. It was like I had been drugged! I got up at my regular time this morning, feeling great, & took my a.m. 30 min walk. At around 8:30 I got so sleepy I just had to go back to bed. When I woke up, it was 11:00 am! For the rest of the day when I would wake up, I felt drugged, and would go back to sleep. I finally woke up around 7:00 pm! I don't know what the deal is!?! It's 10:28pm now. I feel sleepy but not drugged.
Has anyone ever have this happen to them?

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.
WillI 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
