Hi Diabetes family,
I'm a recently diagnosed Type 1 diabetic coming up 7 weeks on Friday. At the moment I have coped with it well and got on with my life and adjusted pretty well, my Blood glucose levels have stayed quite consistent between 4 and 6 mmol/L for the past month and not having much hypos. I am currently taking Apidra just before meals (around 4-6 units) and Lantus (8 units) before bedtime.
My struggle I want advice about is dealing with fatigue as my energy levels are quite bad as basic everyday activities such as making thr bed in the morning can be a struggle and going to work and college can feel like a mission.
I've asked my nurse about this and her suggestions, which they said that its my body adjusting to normal levels after being high for so long along with putting back on the weight I lost before being diagnosed.
If there's anybody with any advice that would be very useful, and would do the world of good for me!
Kind Regards
Dray
