My doctor just recently made the decision to treat me for full blown diabetes. She took me off glucophage because it's hard on my kidneys so I'm not taking any med for the diabetes; just watching my diet.

I've also been taking my blood sugar levels for my own info and because my MD asked me to take it when I get real sleepy in the afternoons. Maybe she's trying to figure out what's doing it to me. Two possibilities are my low kidney function and/or the nodule on my thyroid.

Yesterday at 2:45 pm I got sleepy; my blood sugar was 148. (Below 100 is best).
Last night, after dinner it was 127.
Today at 12:30 pm it was 172 and I was sleepy.
Had some cereal with Splenda and a bit of milk at 2 pm.
Right now, (3:30pm) I can't hardly keep my eyes open. It's at 128.

It's not making any sense to me. I don't think it has anything to do with my blood sugar. It would seem to me that my sugar would go up when I eat, but it seems to go down. It also goes down when I have a regular Coke!
