I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Diabetes shouldn't affect much your symptoms, but low thyroid function could well be a factor. It may lead to sluggishness and sleepiness. So thyroid function should be reviewed perhaps your dosage of hormone replacement are low and need to be increased.
Of course you should also pay attention to sleep hygiene, not go to bed in late hours, if that is the case it could well be the cause.
I hope to have been of help
