[QUOTE="Horacethesheep, post: 2275615, member: 473507"] Just wanted to say that I feel your tiredness! I’m 36, type 1 since 13. I have a healthy BMI and diet. Been to the doctors several times over the last few years about extreme fatigue, after doing what I would call a “usual” amount of activity at work and exercise 3 times per week. One day I dragged myself out the door to take my dogs for a walk and actually found my eyes closing as I walked along the street. On a city break last year with my boyfriend, who has much more energy than me, I was an exhausted wreck after 3 days of keeping up with him, I find I need rest breaks or a nap, and if I’ve been out or had an early morning then I can’t handle going out at night, which is crazy at my age! Blood tests always come back normal, and I was referred to the Chronic Fatigue specialist who said my results were not quite borderline. I had glandular fever at 15, and whenever I get even the slightest bit tired my glands swell and my throat gets sore. I can’t help but think it’s all somehow linked to the immune system. The only thing that has worked for me is to make sure I’m in bed for a whole 9 hours. I may not sleep through but I used to aim for 8 hours and maybe get 7? If that means getting to bed very early, I do it. It is frustrating as at my age I feel I should be able to do so much more. Make sure you’re resting enough and prioritising sleep if you can.
