is falling asleep after eating a sign of diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to produce or effectively use insulin.

This disruption in insulin function can lead to imbalances in blood sugar levels, which may contribute to postprandial sleepiness.
