Hi...I am struggling. My fatigue (heavy, sometimes aching limbs, sometimes weakness, sometimes lightheaded, and brain fog) has become all encompassing. I’ve been waiting for a referral to see if it could be mild Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but due to the pandemic that could take six months. Although I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes several years ago, I have only just started regularly testing my blood sugar. My morning readings so far are around 7.4- 7.9 then around 9.something after meals. My HBA1C has always been in the high 40s until just before Christmas when it had reached 51. My GP prescribed 500mg daily of metformin but my recent HBA1C hadn’t changed. Despite this my GP thinks my blood sugar levels are ok and doesn’t seem to think they would cause such profound fatigue. Looking on this forum of other people’s Fasting blood glucose readings, mine seems higher than most though.
I guess I want to know what is causing this dreadful fatigue, it is affecting every part of my life and getting me down. For years, I’ve always been thirsty, always needing the loo, I have the symptoms of high blood sugar and yet have continually been told it’s under control. I’m 40 and not overweight.
Any advice much appreciated.
