[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2404999, member: 196898"] I suggest a blood test for iron and ferritin levels to check for anemia. I suffered iron deficiency anemia myself for a while, and get folate and iron pills from the doc. Another thing to get checked in the same blood test is your electrolyte (sodium./ potassium levels). You say you eat as if diabetic, but what diet are you following? If you are on the watch for diabetes, you could consider investing in a small pot of wee sticks (ketostix_) and get one that tests for about 7 different markers. They are time-limited, so they only last 6 months or so, and a small pot will normally suffice. This will allow you to keep an eye on sugar control, some infections, ketones, and kidney function among others. [/QUOTE]
