Suggest Counteract To Sugar To Prevent Sleeping Effect

Hi, I have a few different medical issues going on but the one I ll start with is when ever I ingest any tiny bit of sugar, within a few minutes I suddenly dosing off, then out. Usually without being aware, I feel as though I took something that just knocked me out and I wake up with my head jerking, and feeling wuzzy or drunk( I don t drink @ all.) I Have no energy what so ever, so I can t function enough to work. Now I feel as though Kiaser won t help because the blood results don t meet the requiring numbers. I want so bad to go to work and live/function daily but I can t if I can t wake up and have energy. For the past 5-6 yrs I ve been tell this dr I wake up swollen head to toe, but (I can t take nsaids) yet he did nothing finally after another dr told me I have celiacs I believe because he did not address the waking up swollen up from food, and as I ve said sugar has a sleeping affect on me,(if I ever can t sleep I just have to eat any sugar, even butter, and I m knocked out so heavy, but I m so afraid cause I don t want these symptoms to end up being something worst cause I can t fix them. Is there anything that can counteract sugar and wake me up, so that I can function, and have some kind of life, I m to young for this, and it s been too many yrs now.I do have some other Issues but I ll start with that if that s o.k.

Maureen, You are correct, you do have many things going on and I don't see that you fully understand your condition or the treatment you are to be following. To give a complete and accurate opinion I would need to know your ht., wt., age, medications, lab values and diagnosis. It sounds like you have diabetes, yet you only talk about "sugar". What is Kiaser? I suggest you make an appointment with a Registered Dietitian if you are in the US and get a thorough assessment for a complex diet. These blackouts are serious issues and your celiac disease, while serious it appears, should not put you in a coma. So, what type of Diabetes or Epilepsy are we dealing with? Please write back with more complete information.I, or one of the other colleagues, would be happy to help you. Kathryn Shattler, MS,RDN
