tiredness

Hi guys :) I was just wondering if any of my fellow Type 1 Diabetics have suffered/suffer from cold hands/feet/nose? Over the last 4 months or so (during the winter in the UK) I've noticed that my hands are cold; occasionally my feet and nose get cold but it's mainly my hands. I had a blood...

I've been testing my blood glucose regularly for a few weeks, since the GP told me I was pre-diabetic and muttered about appointments with 'diabetic nurse'. I wanted to try 3 months of controlling things myself and seeing what I could do before going to more medical intervention stuff. I've...

Does anybody else experience constant tiredness? Just wondering if it's at all related to diabetes. It doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I get or how active I am during the day I am tired from the minute I wake in a morning. I've tried sleeping less as a friend suggested I may be sleeping...

Hello, I am a 24 year old female. I was diagnosed as diabetic (type 2) last week following a HBA1C result of 51. I wasn't aware that the doctor was testing my blood sugar levels (I thought they were testing hormones). I also wasn't aware that they tested my blood sugar back in March 2020 and...

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all very well, safe and healthy. Please, I would like to ask you regarding our Type 1 Diabetes and our energy levels. My below question refers to us who have well controlled diabetes and BG levels within range. According to the feedback that I have received...

I am new to the forum. I was daignosed with prediabetes in 2018. Friends were surprised because I am slim, reasonably active , understand nutrition and eat a healthy diet, but there is diabetes in my family. In the last few months I have had more days when I have felt tired and a few occasions...

I'm a 19 year old woman and right now I'm currently petrified that I have type 2 diabetes. I've been feeling tired for the past 5 days, even though I've been getting 7-8 hours sleep a night and I have a dry mouth. I also wake up early too for no other reason whilst before I usually needed an...

Lately, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. The minute I sit down and relax I struggle to keep awake. I’ve never had this issue before. I’m currently on a small dose of levothyroxine along with Metformin, and Levermir insulin. I’m not sure if it’s down to having underactive thyroid, and the...

Hi everyone. I am so relieved to have found this forum. For the last few weeks I have been getting more and more exhausted. This is so unlike me. I am used to doing plenty of exercise each day and having enough oomph for all the things I need to do. The answer seems to have come yesterday...

Hi Diabetes family, I'm a quite recent diagnosed diabetic and in need of some instant advice if possible! Today I got sent home ill from work today a few hours ago after feeling very dizzy and having trouble concentrating or doing any task along with blurred vision and now a throbbing...

Hi Diabetes family, I'm a recently diagnosed Type 1 diabetic coming up 7 weeks on Friday. At the moment I have coped with it well and got on with my life and adjusted pretty well, my Blood glucose levels have stayed quite consistent between 4 and 6 mmol/L for the past month and not having much...

I've suffered from extreme tiredness much too long why does my doctor and practise nurse ignore my complaints about this symptom I've had enough and I won't except it's to do with old age. I now have vertigo to add to my symptoms is this related? I have type 2 diabetes and have no drugs...

Hi, I am type 1 and have been for 20 odd years now. I've always been reasonably well controlled but as age catches up with me I am trying to be much more on top of it. My main worry currently is - does anyone experience extreme fatigue with their diabetes? I usually get episodes in the...

I'm starting to get pretty desperate. I'm waiting on an appointment to see a neurologist (it takes weeks to see one apparently) and recent blood tests came back ok/normal. I'm extremely fatigued and constantly feeling cold. I have lots of "cold" spots on my body - tops of legs, shoulders, arms...

Hi, I have T2 which is diet controlled to the point that a low carb diet reversed my diabetes a year ago. Since then I have slipped off the low carb wagon and at my last review they wanted to put me on meds. I asked them to give me a chance to diet control again but, here I am, knowing from my...

Hi folks, I wonder can you help me. I'm not currently diabetic but my dad and all his family is (Type 2), and I'm considered high risk as my BMI is pretty high, so I'm trying to get my weight down, eat better and exercise. I get tired when I eat carbs, so I'm trying to cut down on them during...
