Hi @Watty62
Mate I'm sorry to hear you are still getting mornings you are feeling wiped out.
Those levels will not be helping. I would be cutting out carbs today and eating plenty of meat and vegetable and drinking water. Also a little exercise after each meal. These could reduce those levels.
Were you seeing the quack this week?

Maybe you should ask your doctor to help, by doing some more investigations, it's always easy to blame things under the diabetes and mental health banner, especially if a patient has those problems, ask your GP to take them out of the equation and see what questions he would be left with and if he can come up with another route to investigate.
I used to feel shattered every day, and also down in the dumps mentally, after years of this being put down to my diabetes and other physical conditions such as lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis in both hips and spine, my GP advised anti depressants I took them for a few weeks, they did absolutely nothing other that give me vivid nightmares.
Years later, it's now been rectified, when I was diagnosed with low testosterone, mentally I'm happy and energetic my partner says I've reverted back to the old me that she first met some 16yrs ago, I'm also buzzing with energy typically I now go to bed around 10:30pm and I'm awake at 3am and ready to leave the house by 3:30am, after one week of treatment, I walked over 80miles more than 3 marathons as part of my exercise routine prior to treatment I'd struggle with just one mile, where I now only need 4-5hrs sleep before I could sleep 18hrs a day.
Watty, All the best with getting things sorted.

Yeah Pretty Ordinary. I don't know how it works in the UK. Have you tried those nasal strips I think they are called breathe right you stick them on your nose before you go to sleep and they keep the nostrils open which can help more air get in if you are not sleeping?
Also get off those carbs and stick to meat and veg (no spuds) it can make a big difference to your sugar levels which can also make you very tired
And keep ringing your quack! Tell thm to put you on standby if they have any cancellations
