I frequently feel sleepy and sometimes get headaches when my blood sugar is low.

For what it's worth...I get sleepy when my bg is elevated. Also, my skin feels kind of prickly like little pins are being stuck in it. I am T1.

This could very well be connected .
DISCLAIMER: The following words are not medical advice but experience.
When my bg's are running high, I tend to get pretty severe headaches. These headaches are worse than what I experience at times when low. As I have said before, right after diagnosis, I was put on the wrong course of treatment and was continually out of control for a year. I was having constant headaches and always had to have a nap after school.. So, what you are experiencing could very well be diabetes related. The only sure fire way to know is to consult your doctor as soon as you can. One question I have is this and I'm sorry if I missed this in a previous report: How long have you been diagnosed with type 2? Also, how long have your #'s been high and how high?

thank you all for your advice my # have been high for a while now i dont know if your numbers are the same where you are to what they are in england but my highest one this week was 15.4 so that may be why im haveing these head aches and feeling so very tired many thanks for all of you that replied take care best wishes from kath_uk

I would also say that they are connected. Often when I am high, I get very sleepy and drowsy..if it gets extremely high then I do experience headaches at times. Also, when I am low, there have been times that the headaches also occur. Not fun, I know :(

As Rz would say one of the "joys of Diabetes" :p

yup, from experience also I find that when my blood sugars are higher than usual I want to sleep constantly, and however much I sleep, i still want to sleep more! lol
Also find I get hot as well.
