Food High In Carbohydrates

Question: Why do I get tired/sleepy after eating a candy bar or food high in carbohydrates?

Answer: I'm a Type 2 diabetic myself, and I can speak from experience here...if I eat something heavy in sugar or carbs, especially without anything else in my system, my body "crashes" after the initial sugar rush wears off. One of the big problems with Type 2 is the wild variations in blood sugar count at any given time...it's like your bidy doesn't react in any stable way to big swings in blood sugar count.
