Hi
thanks for your question.
based on my experience you need to be examined by Neurologist.
You need neurological examination and investigation like complete blood count, liver and renal function tests and brain CT.
Hope I answered your question, will be happy to help you if you have other queries.

Dear sir/madam
Sleep apnoea is common in patients who are overweight and diabetic. Some times it might become dangerous as it may cause sudden waking up in the night.
Sleep apnoea is sometimes associated with autonomic neuropathy. So get yourself evaluated for autonomic neuropathy
Make sure your diabetes drugs doesnot cause hypoglycemia.
Consult a neurologist once.
Thanks
