Yes, that's exactly my point. What is the mechanism that induces fatigue in me, and others? It has worsened in tandem with the progession of the diabetes. The fact that some diabetics don't experience it doesn't invalidate it. Maybe a comparison might help identify the cause:
My diabetes is late onset, I was normal weight and active (cycling and rowing) before it came on, the progression involved a sharp and unintended weight loss in the two months prior to diagnosis and my energy levels plummeted in that time.

It would be interesting and useful to hear if any of those features applied in your case, and therefore whether I could isolate the salient ones. Thanks for responding.
Hi @Kjell,
I see on your profile that you've been very recently diagnosed. Do you test your blood glucose at home? What sort of levels do you see?
