Have you tried getting your Thyroid checked out. Some Type 1 Diabetics can have Thyroid issues, mainly hypothyroid. This would explain being tired all the time.I am exactly the same Trev, I am 43 and so tired and unable to drag my ass to do anything, I have asked the Doctor and the diabetic nurse and both just shrug and say, it will come back, but I think that's just a brush off, they don't know either.

Is it me or is anyone else tired all the time, even if I have a lay in I still want more sleep.
I am only 48 but have had a below knee amputation 20 months ago, I take tramadol and pregabalin.
My diabetes is well controlled most of the time, I feel like I waste my weekends because i am too tired to do anything.
Any suggestions?
Snap!! I'm tired when I get up each morning and totally exhausted when I go to bed that night. My BG is 7.6 last blood test. No testing strips so BG isn't stable. I'm 57 and feel so much olderIs it me or is anyone else tired all the time, even if I have a lay in I still want more sleep.

This sounds similar to my situation the nurse is adamant my thyroid is fine can't explain my tiredness easier to say never mind you'll get over it my blood sugar is well under control my blood pressure is also a nevermind state how did you convince your nurse there was some problem?I was absolutely exhausted for years with typical symptoms of hypothyroidism but my Drs ruled this out as my bloods were in range. Eventually I stopped listening to them and took action. Of course it was my thyroid. I got so much better but did not recover completely. This year I was diagnosed diabetic and am on diet control, a very strict LCHF and I am better than I have been for twenty years. Mind, twenty years ago I was still youngish.
What has worked for me so far has been to treat my lack of thyroid hormones with NDT.
To treat my low level of vitamin D with doses of 5000IU per day during the dark months
To treat my high bg with a very low carb, high fat diet.
Thankfully I have never suffered from anaemia, neither the low iron nor the low B12 variety. I believe both are every common though. It is wise to get Ferritin tested if you are tired.
