    I tend to err on the side of keeping my carbohydrates low. Simply because I found it kept my mmol down.

    Last week, after many years of avoiding them, one lunchtime I treated myself to a good old fashioned chip butty. Rubbish
    chips, but that's another story... I enjoyed it, but, within half an hour, I couldn't keep my eyes open, and zonked out for
    three hours during the day - I just couldn't keep awake. My lass was so worried she checked my mmol - - 6.1. Not bad.

    Today, I had another one, out of pig-headedness, and boing! it happened again. When I checked my sugars they were 4.7.
    Again, not bad. But being zonked is rather unwelcome.

    Looks like there's some connection between the 'knockout' and the butties - Has anyone else come across this, is it normal,
    and okidoke, it seems I could avoid the problem by avoiding all that carbohydrate, but if anyone has a solution.....?

    I take Metformin 500 mg x3, (8am, 3pm, 10pm)

    Cheers!:wink:

    I have not long ago had a veggie berger and could sleep for England. I find I'm ok with some things and others zonk me out.

    I try for the good carbs, but when it is hot in the middle of summer I can't face porridge...
