Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Yes, I think you need to check your sugars. There is a possibility that you are developing hypoglycemia, or very very high sugars.

Also have your blood pressure checked. Similar complaints can occur if the bp is not controlled enough.

Checking a lipid profile also will be a good idea.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
