[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1544947, member: 401801"] There's a myriad of things that could cause this other than diabetes. Your thyroid could be out of whack, vitamin D deficiency isn't always tested for, (or vit. B, magnesium and iron for that matter), or it could be diagnoses-related depression. (Not to say you're imagining it, but depression does cause very real, physical fatigue and muscle weakness). I've always had low vitamin D because I barely get out of the house (anxiety disorder), so I simply don't get enough sun. Add a messed up thyroid to that... I thought my fatigue was to blame on those two issues, or three really, as rheumatism is thrown in too, but turned out I'd been a type 2 diabetic for *years* and didn't know it. When you say you got checked for "everything", that must have been a lot if vials, because there can be so many causes... Like someone else suggested, get the testresults, all of them, and check them online. Seek out things that might not have been tested for and get those checked. When I first went to my doc she indulged me with tests while she thought it might simply be depression... That revealed the fatty liver that later got explained by diabetes.
