[QUOTE="SarahTee, post: 2435751, member: 518070"] I wonder if I could make a suggestion. You mention that even when avoiding foods that make you feel worse, you still feel fatigued a lot, and wake up feeling tired even after 9 hours' sleep. I'm guessing that if the restrictive diet was better at reducing your symptoms, you might find it a lot easier to follow. It's hard to be cheerful about limiting your intake of common foods if you are feeling exhausted. Is it time to go back to your endocrinologist and tell them that the diet is not working for you, or that you may have another source of fatigue? It's all very well for them to tell you that you don't have diabetes, but if you are fatigued most of the time, that is taking a serious toll on your life, as well as on your physical and mental health. Of course, you may not get a helpful response, but perhaps you can seek a second opinion. (And there's always the problem of them fobbing people off with anti-depressants without doing a proper investigation or actually diagnosing depression.) [/QUOTE]
