Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.

Hi Saralou

I think there can be many different reasons for tiredness, and the first step may be to see your GP and ask for some blood tests and chat about things.

Since it can be common with T2 diabetes, have you ever asked your GP about sleep apnoea? I have that and my doctors missed it for years.

I hope you get to the bottom of the issue soon.
