Hey guys, I am type 1 and have also been suffering from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue for a couple of years. It only seems to be getting worse as time goes on and I am so frustrated! My CFS interferes with my diabetes management so much - I get so exhausted from normal daily routines that I end up having lots of naps, lots of sleep and I generally cannot function on a day to day basis.
I am testing my bg but it always seems to run high when I am having particularly bad days. On 'good' days, it seems okay, but I then have 2 or 3 bad days afterwards just to rest up - making it impossible for me to get a job right now. It's all very very frustrating and upsetting. I'm barely awake writing this and so I'm sorry if it doesn't make much sense.
I guess my main question is - is there a known link between T1 and CFS/ME?? Also, how do you guys deal with keeping your management good when all your body wants to do is sleep?
Thank you and I hope everyone is as well as they can be <3
