Eating simple carbs or sugar usually do that to me as well, I’ll get sleepy and sometimes have a hard time focusing. Maybe try to track what you’re eating so you’ll know what the culprit is through process of elimination.

If you are actually fasting then you would know why.

Any history of diabetes in your family? Do you have any recent increase in appetite?

Have you been tested recently? You may have incipient diabetes.

I was tested last December 12, 2023 doctor said I dont have diabetes. But on holidays I always drink soda for a week.

Have you tried a ow carb diet to ward off the DM?

low carb

[Asker]

Not yet. Although I live in Asia rice is common food. I always eat it day and night.

My maternal grandmother was and sister is insulin dependent. I have been following a low carb diet for year and my blood sugar levels are fine. I understand that it is difficult to avoid rice in some parts of China, but you really should consider the low carb diet, including cutting out rice.

Im doing it now. When I eat rice I have brain fog I feel sleepy all the time no energy. Now I only eat fish, meat and soup. Its like I took out the rice.
by the way my weight is 52 kg and my height is 5'3"

Too many carbs? Maybe they're making you sleepy.

There are several reasons but less inflammation is the main reason. Humans did not evolve to constantly be eating. We evolved to hunt and gather which means we get food when and how we can. If you hunt/forage hungry your senses are more sharp.
