[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2276891, member: 475037"] A few people have mentioned thyroid and you do need to make sure that it is checked properly. The same antibodies that attack your beta cells are the one that attack your thyroid so hopefully they usually check your thyroid regularly too. And thyroid issues can make you tired. But if they just check the thyroid itself it can show up normal. My Free T4 test says my thyroid is normal, but the TSH test is too high. Which means my pituitary is sending TSH at a higher level to signal my thyroid to make more thyroid hormones. It means my thyroid is actually not okay but is still functioning at a normal level for now. In my case I am taking a natural supplement that has helped me a lot and put my thyroid into that normal range. As soon as I tell the doctor that I am getting tired she says she will put me on a thyroid medication, or if I get worse blood tests.

There are several autoimmune diseases that can make you tired. So make sure you mention the fatigue to your doctor so they can run more tests. [/QUOTE]
