Hi!I have been having headaches (waking up with them sometimes and sometimes they come on later in the day). Also feeling lightheaded (don t know how to explain it, but it s overwhelming. The nerves in my eyes are twitching (especially left) and I feel like I m fighting anesthesia to stay awake...Just overwhelmingly sleepy, and I can sleep up to 16 hours - sleeping away my days off work. Blood sugar 102, BP 115/77, P 92, 58 YOWF, 172# at 5 7 .This has been happening more often lately, and has been clinging to me most of the day today...
To answer specifically if diabetes can do this, it really depends on what your blood sugars are like over a 24-hour period. Are you running a lot of lows and highs? Even if your blood sugar that you checked is normal (102 is a good value for a diabetic), that one snapshot in time doesn't represent what your diabetes is doing in a day. This sounds to me like it could be a different medical condition, a lifestyle issue, or a medication side effect. However, if you want to rule out if the diabetes is doing this, I suggest checking your blood sugars first thing when you wake up, before and after each meal, and before you go to bed. Do this for a week, and then show the values to your doctor. The response written above is a medical opinion, and does not substitute an evaluation by a medical professional. I cannot guarantee accuracy in my answer, especially when I cannot physically evaluate you, and do not know your past medical history, all the medications you are on, your lifestyle habits, etc.; therefore I cannot be held liable for any consequences that occur as a result of my opinion.
