Feeling drowsy and weak after starting diabetes treatment is often due to low blood sugar, medicine side effects, or the body adjusting to new glucose levels. It can also happen if meals are delayed or doses are higher than needed. Checking your blood sugar when you have symptoms and reviewing your medicines with your doctor.
