Reply To: Eating Overrides Beneficial Effects of Medication

[honda]

I complained about this problem when I was young guy, and the diabetic test results came back negative. I have also been tested a number of times since. Is it possible that I may have some sort of a short term blood glucose problem even though I don’t have diabetes?

I haven’t noticed any other symptoms or deterioration in my health. After I sleep I feel much better, and have more energy.

I have noticed that others who don’t have diabetes also feel drowsy after eating. Perhaps not to the degree I do, but it is still there. It seems that some people experience this problem, and others do not. Why this happens to some and not to others is a good question. Could it be genetic or due to something else? My wife never feels sleepy after eating, neither do any of my children.

Perhaps like you said it is some other kind of metabolic hormonal issue. Next time I see my doctor I will ask him to refer me to an endocrinologist for a Glucose Tolerance test. Even if it isn’t diabetes he might be able to determine another cause.

Thanks for responding to my questions.
