IR, Postprandial Drowsiness, Diabetes

A.
Name of condition and potential casues

The condition of feeling excessively sleepy after eating is known as postprandial somnolence or
postprandial drowsiness. The enzyme and pathologies involved in this condition are:
Enzyme: Amyline
Pathologies1:
a. Hypoglycemia
b. Diabetes
c. Insulin resistance
d. Gastroparesis
e. Obstructive Sleep Apnea
f. Narcolepsy
g. Idiopathic hypersomnia
h. Depression and anxiety
i. Anemia
j. Chronic fatigue syndrome

B. Potential pathologies related to patients with macronutrient

imbalance
Pathology: Hypoglycemia and Diabetes
Cell involved: Beta cells of the pancreas
Amyline is a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. It slows down digestion and helps
regulate glucose levels in the body. People with hypoglycemia or diabetes may experience an
imbalance in glucose regulation, leading to a rapid drop in blood sugar levels after eating high-
carbohydrate meals. This drop in blood sugar can cause feelings of drowsiness or fatigue, particularly
if there is a macronutrient imbalance in the diet.
Pathology: Insulin Resistance
Cell involved: Muscle, liver, and fat cells
1
Ie. Potential causes. The list showing in the below are all potential disorders leading to postprandial
drowsiness, regardless of the probability to the patient.
Insulin resistance occurs when the cells in the body become less responsive to insulin, which
regulates glucose levels. As a result, the pancreas must produce more insulin to keep glucose levels
within a normal range. This increased insulin production can cause a drop in blood sugar levels after
eating, resulting in feelings of drowsiness, particularly when consuming high-carbohydrate meals.
Pathology: Gastroparesis
Cell involved: Stomach muscles
Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach muscles do not contract properly, leading to delayed
emptying of the stomach. In patients who have a high carbohydrate intake and a macro-nutrient
imbalance, this can cause a gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream and result in a slow,
prolonged drop in blood sugar levels, leading to feelings of drowsiness.
Conclusion
If left untreated, these conditions can result in more serious illnesses such as uncontrolled diabetes,
heart disease, and neurological complications. It is important for patients to seek medical evaluation
and treatment if they experience symptoms of postprandial somnolence, particularly in the presence
of a high carbohydrate intake and macro-nutrient imbalances.
C. Relation map of potential pathologies to diabetes, heart disease,

and neurological complications

contractions (such as metoclopramide), management, adequate sleep,

Gastroparesis frequent meals), nerve stimulation, surgery symptoms
It is important to note that these remedies may vary depending on the severity and underlying cause
of the condition, and a medical evaluation is recommended to determine the best course of
treatment. In some cases, a combination of medical and non-medical remedies may be needed for
optimal management of the condition.
