Sorry to hear what a tough time you’ve been having @Basten
Illness and injury can raise you glucose levels, as will those carby comfort foods. Are you checking your levels 2 hrs after meals? You may be rising above range soon after eating (the first 1-2 hours) which can make you feel very tired and lethargic.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery from your operation.
