What Causes Drowsiness And Fainting While Suffering From Diabetes?

From time to time I will act drunk or real sleepy and have got into bed and will literally pass out and last night I passed out as soon as I got in bed. My husband woke me up and I had urinated on my self. I had no clue this had happened. I am diabetic, so my question is could this be due to my diabetes such as ketoacidosis?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

We have to rule out possible causes like hypoglycaemia and neuropathy. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
