Hi
@Douglasw,
Welcome to this site and the club of us with TID.
Not sure how your health was when diagnosed, but some of us were exceedingly sick, whilst others less unwell.
From my reading about diabetes over many years, but not as health professional advice or opinion:
You may have lost weight, become depleted in body salts, and lost some muscle in the months before you were diagnosed, and that all takes time to recover from.
Not sure if your diet and thus insulin has been prescribed to help you increase weight and replenish body salts like potassium and magnesium ( which are important for muscles to work).
When you say your bsls are OK, when abouts are you testing your bsls ( blood sugar levels) and with what type of device).
If you go to the Home page of this site, you will see about midway along the horizontal menu bar 'living with diabetes' and within that, on the far left a heading about blood sugars at the top, the tables on there give the acceptabke ranges for bsls, fasting, before and 1 1/2 to 2 hours after meals.
If i just measure say before meals i will have no idea how the meal has affected my bsl. I could have a higher than acceptable bsl at say the 2 hour mark but back near normal by the next meal and so on.
Failing to test on waking may mean i miss the fact that my bsl may have been too high during the night.
If i am relying purely on a device like the Libre, and not checking its accuracy with some finger prick readings i may be obtaining a false impression of my actual bsls. Blood glucose meter with fingerprick blood are supposed to be within +/- 5 % accuracy ( compared to lab blood test) these days.
Also some of us get depressed, after the diagnosis, with the continual drag of testing, injecting etc, or if we have hypos ( hypo - = low, -glyc-= glucose, -aemia = in the blood) or hypos for short or sleep disturbance from unrecognised hypos.
Depressed mood can also be associated with tiredness, lack of energy, spark and interest.
Certainly it is important to discuss your symptoms with your health team. They are there to help you, and your GP because not everything may be caused by diabetes itself.
In many areas there may be local groups of diabetics on sites like facebook and Diabetes UK may well know of grouos who meet in your local area.
You have this site as well for support.
Having things to keep one occupied is a health strategy in itself. It does not necessarily need to be sport but that is one possibility but social contact, ideally involving some exercise and outdoors activity, an interest such as photography for example, but not something too risky to one 's health or finances.
Sometimes a browse on computer at the local library as well as of the shelves will reveal hobbies and interests as well as the local newspaper. Finding a group of diabetics, or diabuddies as we call them may open other avenues.
Please keep asking questions because we have all started afresh at some point in our lives, recently diagnosed and wondering what it is all about.
Be assured also that the outlook these days for TIDs is great. My specialist advises all his new TID patients that they would be wise to ensure they have a normal age retirement plan set up, the outlook is that good.
Best Wishes
Most things are possible
