[QUOTE="zippycaz, post: 183446, member: 29229"] Hi I can sympathise with how you feel. I have had Type 1 since 1974. At the moment I am feeling exactly how you feel, I am completely exhausted and haven't the energy to do a thing. My BS's have been very erractic for the last week or so due to a Kidney infection, so I have put my lack of energy down to this. In the past when my BS has been all over the place, my energy levels go rock bottom and my eyesight also goes quite bad. After a few days of stablelising this they both go back to normal, the eyesight sooner than the energy. I also find that if I change my diet a little it helps, eat a little more if possible, more fruit etc, doesn't have to be loads more carbs though. I also have an underactive Thyroid, so as said in an earlier post, I would ask to have this tested again, it does make a hell of a lot of difference to how you feel if your Thyroid is underactive. Also ask if you can have your B12 checked. I have Vit B12 deficiency also known as Pernicious Anaemia. The feeling of this is a total lack of energy also, plus very tired and achy limbs especially the legs (in my case). Maybe a vitamin supplement may help, Vit C or a B vit. I went onto the Pump nearly 4 years ago now. It is the best thing that has happended to me as far as Diabetes is concerned. If you can get another appointment to have it fitted, go for it. It has given me my life back. Whoever thought it up should have a medal. Easy to use, very discreet, gives very very small basal and bolus doses and (with my pump) you can have up to 12 different basal doses over the 24 hours. Best piece of kit ever. Hope some of this may be of use and hoping you feel better soon. x [/QUOTE]
