[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1841866, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=479570]@jcr0205[/USER], I gather that tiredness as a symptom has many causes. ( see Mayoclinic.org - Fatigue) from physical to mental illness causes. And I am not writing in the form of medical advice or opinion, just as a fellow diabetic. Others have commented on diabetes associated illnesses like PA and thyroid illness, plus climate issues etc. Another thought is [B]coeliac disease[/B] (CD) which is more common in Type 1 diabetics than the general population and can cause [B]tiredness and low B12.[/B] Also if you are taking vitamins including folate, the [B]folate supplement can further lower B12[/B] in the blood, if B12 is not being absorbed. Apparently CD is more commonly diagnosed in adults than children and stomach/bowel symptoms are not always present. see Mayoclinic .org, Coeliac.uk My understanding is that there is a[B] blood test[/B] which can help diagnose CD but one needs to be on bread and other sources of gluten for some weeks (that is not on a low or gluten-free diet) in order for the test to be reliable. (my daughter has CD). My Best wishes to you in finding a cause and 'cure' for your tiredness ! [/QUOTE]
