[QUOTE="eddie864, post: 286281, member: 45496"] Hi, This reads as a stupid question but I need to ask it all the same. I have been diagnosed Type 2 since 1998 and went onto insulin in 2001. I'm now 47 years old and very overweight (BMI of around 39/40) and am not managing my BG very well. I had some mental health problems and struggle with taking meds, insulin and diet every day. I inject some 60 units of NovoRapid around each meal and about 60 units of Levemir at night. For the past few years, really, I have been getting more and more problems with general fatigue, lack of energy all round and a lack of vitality. I have been losing, slowly, muscle from my legs and they are now weak and sometimes I struggle to lift myself up from a squatting position. I put down a lot of the leg pain to some sciatica that I had for about 4 months but actually the nervy pain is gone and this is just weakness. I also have eye damage and am due to have some argon laser treatment to help it. I've had some neuropathy issues with very sensitive nerves in fingers and a morton's neuroma in my foot but I'm told that I have a very good pulse in my feet. I'm getting to the point where I feel tired and old all the time and it's affecting my mood a lot. I really don't know what to do. I try to engage better with the testing, insulin shots before meals and remembering my Levemir at night but I'm having to work hard to do it. I want energy back! [/QUOTE]
