[QUOTE="Kjell, post: 2169903, member: 516477"] Thank you. Done. The question was primarily a scientific one (although bearing on my situation). On the face of it the evidence suggests that the way diabetes engenders fatigue is via inadequate insulin - failing to provide the cells with enough of the fuel they need. (It's not clear what mechanism high BG levels could utilise to engender fatigue). Low BG levels, yes, because there would be inadequate fuel for the insulin to transport to the cells, but high BG levels are providing all the fuel required. It's the lack of effective insulin that limits how much BG is taken up, so it's irrelevant how much BG there is available if it can't be used. So, this suggests, lowering BG is not the answer to fatigue, increasing the supply of effective insulin would be the answer if possible. Or maybe something else? [/QUOTE]
