exhausted after a meal

[cooliet4795]

I am diabetic and I am concerned that I want to fall asleep after I eat.  It doesn't matter what I eat or how much...I just want to sleep.  Is this related to my diabetes or metabolism in any way???

Have you measured your blood sugar before a meal and then after the meal (usually measure at 1 1/2 - 2 hours after a meal).  if your sugar is going high or low after eating this can affect how you feel.

Feeling tired after eating usually comes from high glucose levels when you consume food stuffs that have large volumes of sugar and carbohydrates in them such as bakery or sweet food items.

"It doesn't matter what I eat or how much"
Question is, are you eating a diabetic diet/nutritional meals? Do you feel the same when eating lighter foods such as green salads, fish, chicken and nuts and vegetables?
