What Could Cause Increasing Drowsiness?

Dear doctors,

Day by day, my drowziness is going from bad to worse. This morning I got up very, very drowzy.



I am 65, of Indian decent from Malacca, Malaysia. I am diabetic. This morning's reading is 6.0 (fasting). On other days it my be up to 10.00 (fasting). I am on insulin ( 14.0) every night, and take a Metformin tablet at night and in the morning. My parents were diabetic.



My blood pressure this morning (20.2.2011) is 122/78. Pulse 79. In June 2010 a doctor at the General Hospital told me that I had slightly low blood pressure (106/66), and advised me to increase my salt intake. I have been adding very tiny amounts of salt to my drinks.



I do not excercise, except cut the grass once a week, have never been a sportman in my life. That did not prevent me from learning to fly microlight aircraft. I flew for three years(1995-1998). At that time I was very normal and didn't even know that I had diabetes.



I am worried that the increased frequency of drowzniness may have something to do with a decreased flow of blood to my brains and that I may have a stroke soon. I can't afford to undego angiograms, by-pass surgery or any expensive treatment.



I need advise. I live alone.
