Does diabetes make one feel very sleepy?
Diabetes, when not under good control, could most certainly cause lower energy levels and increase in sleepiness. Glucose is needed as an energy source for cells and when the glucose is remaining high in the bloodstream and not adequately be transported into the cells, the performance of cells, including those in the brain, will be adversely affected. The medications to treat diabetes may also cause side effects, including fatigue. Most Type 2 diabetics (these patients are insulin resistant) are overweight/obese and the weight control problem itself can lead to poor energy levels. The very best approach to diabetes and regaining energy is to lose weight if excessive weight is present. READ MORE

OTC anti-histamines such as Zyrtec or Claritin plus a nasal steroid spray may help the inflammatory symptoms. At times, the inflammatory component is too intense, will not respond to OTCs and a visit to a doctor may result in a prescription for a short course oral steroid such as prednisone. READ MORE
