The BG Yawn!

One of the natural common things we do when we’re a bit tired, yawn! Is yawning one of signals of low blood sugars? is there any evidence to suggest this is a fact?
Has any one else experience or notice this in their-selves or others, personally, can’t say I have, came across this theory in one of my diabetes studies, probably one of those daft stories, well! what do you think, let us know. Thanks.

Many people will try to tell you what you can’t eat with diabetes.
Most will be well-meaning.
Rather than compounding the problem by telling you what you should
eat, I’d recommend a simpler method, eat by your meter.

When I am low, I can just nod off in the unuseual time of the day but that's just me as I am a type 1.

I actually find myself yawning when my BG is HIGH. That is one of the first things I notice when my levels start to rise. Being sleepy while high seems to be a common symptom

I have never noticed yawning when low. I usually get low when I am up moving around.. so maybe that has something to do with it as well.
