Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2006drowsyness
I am having a problem with drowsiness after lunch and dinner. It does not s em to matter what I eat, I feel like it is 2:am and I wnat to go to bed. I am not depressed and have fine energy the rest of the day but really droop after meals. I eat a fruit at the 3 to 4 natural low blood sugar time of day so I have that one under control but need help on lunch and dinner tiredness. My GP just says to exercese more but I can't at work.

Perhaps you are not eating enough carbs or are eating too many carbs. What do you mean by the 3 to 4 natural low blood sugar time of the day? Is this something common to you? My BG is not naturally low at this time.  SignatureSee my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm I meanat that I have always experienced a tirdness betewwn 3:00 and 4:00 pm at work. We all kid around that it is a time when the bloodsugars naturally drop for most everyone. I do not know this to be true in actually just that a lasrge percentage of people complain about this phenomenon. My son tells me a Professor at his college even addressed it in his nutrition class and advised a pick me up snack or coffee dto cope with it.Jane > I meanat that I have always experienced a tirdness betewwn 3:00 and > 4:00 pm at work.

I'd never heard that before. I wish that were the case with me, but it isn't.

I used to call it my 3 pm coma when I was working; I'd find myself spaced out, staring at the wall in front of my desk. Happens to me in the winter, now, too. I think between 3-4 pm is when cortisol is lower. Susan I've heard it before. Usually I have a cup of tea and a small snack...piece of cheese and a couple of crackers....it helps me get over the hump. I don't know if it is from low sugar or maybe from lack of sleep:) <jlane3@stny.rr.com> wrote in message news:1143601860.703398.256340@t31g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > I meanat that I have always experienced a tirdness betewwn 3:00 and > 4:00 pm at work.

Jane What are your BGs at the time that you feel drowsy? Have you tested then? What type and quantity of food do you eat at those meals?

An underactive one gives me those symptoms, although they can also be diabetes-related, cholesterol-related, and no doubt a whole lot of other things! As for exercising at work - there's lots of web sites with at-your-desk stretching exercises, that you can (and should) do often during the day. Nicky.
