Hi I m a 53 yr old diabetic woman last A1C was 5.8 in April. In the last 3 to 4 months I have been so tired I can barely stay awake. There are days where I sleep through and can even go right through the night. I feel like I slept through the whole summer! I m sleeping my life away. Help!
Hello Welcome to HCM. You are facing the problem of excessive sleepiness and tiredness. You have mentioned that your HbA1C levels were 5.8. This suggest adequate sugar control over last three months.
I think another important thing which should be ruled out in your case is thyroid disorder. Please get thyroid levels checked.
You can take tablet provigil 100mg. This is a psychostimulant which will keep your mind alert.
Hope this helps you. Thanks.
