testing sugar level it has gone back to normal now my cold has nearly gone. What I do not understand is I am still very tired all the time.

It may be that you've got insulin resistance, so the glucose your muscles cells need for energy isn't getting through to them - hence you're tired. It may take longer to recover from a cold than you would otherwise expect. Don't push yourself too hard, let your body recover in its own time - but mention it to your HCP next time you see one. They need to know, even if it seems like nothing.

Eat well, and keep warm!

Thanks for the message. diabetes is a way of life not a disease.

sometimes carbs can make you tired, try low carbs, i feel more alive now, and i sleep at night, but not too sleepy in the day
