Hello everyone, im recently diagnosed type 2. Im on medication, does anyone else have days when theyre completley exhausted and just need to sleep? Im also keen to learn new recipes and how to improve my overall health. Thank you for taking the time to read
 
Hi and welcome. I certainly used to have the down days when nothing worked and I slept most of the time. For me getting my blood glucose levels down helped enormously - lots of energy, don't feel tired. I went to the extreme and cut my carb intake to about 20 grams a day. It worked for me.
 
Hi @Natalie777 and welcome. I also try and keep carbs to 20g or under a day. If I stray over, for instance if I have a pub meal, which isn’t very often these days, I feel really tired, I call it ‘The Carb Coma’ where I just want to lie down and go to sleep! Maybe you need some electrolytes - magnesium and potassium.
