With all due respect, your 3 slices of pizza made you sleepy,
but you have no idea if it was the carbs.

Carbs give you quick energy.
Carbs will not make you sleeply unless you pig out.
High fat can make you sleeply as your body has to work harder to digest.
Overeating anything (including carbs) will make you sleepy.

You probably had a lot of high fat toppings on that low carb thin crust.

I know most of you seem to hate carbs but serious athletes don't and I don't
either.

PS - I'm not out for another carb battle here where no one wins but I'm so
tired of all this "carbs are evil crap." Carbs are NOT evil...that's what
your body needs for fuel.

And I'm talking about normal healthy people, not special cases like
diabetics.

actually I agree with you. And I used to be something of an athlete
or tried to be. Rode my bike 30 miles then played doubles volleyball
for a few hours on weekends. Not real high level, but above
average... I don't believe carbs are evil at all. But they
definitely effect me. It's not the fat. Actually I am vegetarian so
not a lot of fat, though not vegan so do eat cheese which has fat.
But I notice with things like spaghetti, peanut butter on whole wheat
bread, fig newton, mushroom soup with egg noodles that I have a
definite let down after 20-30 minutes. If I am active, not really so
much but if I'm watching TV or trying to read a book, or sitting at
work-- I have a hard time staying awake after eating even a moderate
amount of carbs for lunch. I generally don't eat much carbs at lunch
because I don't like how it effects me. Which is hard for me, because
I really like to eat!

If carbs are affecting you that much you could have reactive hypoglycemia or
diabetes.

I've noticed the effect pretty much all my adult life. Also, msg
effects me that way too, like in canned mushroom soup... I've been to
a couple doctors over the years and they said I don't have symptoms
for diabetes. I will have to look up reactive hypoglycemia.

Diabetes isn't diagnosed by symptoms.

How is it diagnosed then? If you say by testing, then should everyone
be tested?

Yes, and they are once they reach a certain age. How old are you? I
believe 40 is the age where they routinely test. But if there is a family
history, the person might be tested early, particulary if they are
overweight.

There are various tests that can be done. One is a random finger stick. If
the number is high enough it could warrant further testing. One is a
fasting finger stick. I managed to pass this one time and time again even
though I was actually a diabetic. It's just that I was unwittingly
controlling by diet. Another is the OGTT or oral glucose tolerance test.
You will be asked to drink a sickly sweet drink then sit quietly for many
hours. They will draw blood from a vein every hour or so. This is the same
test they would do for reactive hypoglycemia which is thought to be a
precursor to diabetes. I had it myself for most of my life. The final test
would be the HbA1c. This test can not diagnose if it is in normal range.
But if it is high then it can be used for diagosis. My diagnosis came about
after a fasting test at the hospital followed by the HbA1c at my
Endocrinologist's office. Mine was 10.0.

My doctor does the blood test for it every year. Symptoms many not
show for years with type II.

I don't know the criteria for testing though but weight, age, family
history are at least a part of it.

After reading a couple articles on the Internet, I'd say I do have a
lot of signs of reactive hypoglycemia; if I get health insurance
again, I will see if a doc can do some tests. People have always
commented about how I continuously eat (small meals) I've done that
for a long time. If I don't eat for a few hours, I get irritable and
ornery. I've found the little V8 low sodium cans quench my hunger
when I start to get hungry. But I don't really like V8 much, except
heavily watered down and cold. I like to water down al ot of things,
especially fruit juices. I love apple juice but too much sugar at
once if not watered down.

I like my juice watered down, too, but I water it down with club soda.

One other thing. Simple carbs (plain sugar, candy bars, etc) will do what
happened with you. With the simple carbs, you get an energy rush but then
20-30 minutes later you do crash (with the energy). A pizza shouldn't do
that to you but maybe the sauce contained sugar.
