[QUOTE="Sobeit, post: 1069476, member: 203670"] Is periodic intense tiredness/ sleepiness related to diabetes? I( I am type 1½) No professionals are telling me that it is related. Some people have suggested to me that it could be thyroid but I have had thyroid checked in full blood count 7/8 months ago after diagnosis and apparently its fine as is my haemoglobin( iron). I am getting blood test again for thyroid next week just to see has anything changed.I also get body aches at night mostly, which keep me awake.I often have to take ibuprofen which I hate having to do as I'm not one for taking tablets unless I really have to ! I sometimes have to resort to getting up and have a hot shower in the middle of the night to relieve the body aches in mostly arms and legs.They are not cramps! Fast heart beat at night also. And Im not a hypochondriac :-) My last HBA1 C was 6.½% . 10½% on first diagnosis so Im doing well in that regard..I am careful not to get blood sugar spikes . Generally my blood sugar is kept to a good level. Doesn't get particularly high at night ( I often check on waking) but is usually 8 in the morning .But usually 5's or 6's before lunch and dinner.I am on bolus insulin by the way and no tablets Any help would be appreciated or even to hear if anyone has similar experiences or am I alone with this ? Thanks [/QUOTE]
