When diabetics experience hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, they suffer from a decline in cognitive function, so they often don't realize they're suffering from this life threatening condition. In addition, unconscious responses to low blood sugar levels controlled by the brain are impacted as well, and the body doesn't respond the way it usually would to regulate it, by signaling the liver to release sugar.
Several studies have shown Modafinil makes diabetics aware hypoglycemia is happening AND the automatic responses also function much better when they've been given a dose of Moda.
The mechanism hasn't been identified, but Modafinil seems to make the brain more aware of blood sugar levels on both a conscious level and in unconscious functions.
So I'm not surprised to hear what you're describing. I'll bet you're sensing high blood sugar. It was likely happening before, but Moda makes you aware of it.
