[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2259910, member: 451727"] I was told (at diagnosis) when I asked about the tiredness (which was much more than a little sleepiness, as above it meant lying down immediately), that it was due to the fact that the body could NOT process those carbs into energy because (in my case) there was no insulin available to do so. So, my body had NO energy and had turned to using fat to try and get some but clearly not enough. This had gone on for months. I would gather that the principle is the same for type 2s, the body cannot utilise any insulin it is producing generally, so again, the carbs cannot turn into energy. Could it be this?, but of course that scenario would mean high glucose levels too. What are your levels like? x [/QUOTE]
