Brief Answer:
What is your HbA1c

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Low blood sugar levels could be reason for this tiredness.
Poor diet and low quantity food coupled with fear to control blood sugars can cause vitamin and micronutrient deficiency.
Get your HbA1c levels. If possible ask your Endocrinologist to get vitamin and mineral assessment.
Rely on vegetables and fruits of all colors every day. Try to eat dark color vegetables and fruits. Ideally a plate should have 7 colors and 6 tastes a day to develop good immunity and nutrition.
I suggest to take TAB BENFOMET PLUS, one tablet twice a day for 30 days.
Meet your endocrinologist who can assess and diagnose the problem.

I have shown to two diabetes doctors in last one year.Both have confirmed that the symptoms mentioned above are not due to sugar but something else.It is the reason i am consulting you.My Hb1c remains between 5.5 to 6.5.I am also taking vitamins along with sugar medicines.Also low sugar weakness is totally different from what i am facing.
I am doubting something is wrong in my digestive system,may be infection in intestine or stomach.

Brief Answer:
Gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for confirming.

I am happy that your HbA1c is maintained. It is important to check the blood sugars during the time when you feel weak. Have you done that?
Nausea is a sign of problem in digestive system, most often gastritis. So you can start having 3 glasses of XXXXXXX warm water early in the morning one hour before breakfast, possibly after food.
Diabetes doctors are different from Endocrinologist, please note. If your doctor has a M.D and D.M degree both he is an Endocrinologist. Most diabetes doctors are either an MBBS or MD. Please check.

I check my blood sugar when i feel weak.Mostly it remains around 90 to 125.So it is confirmed it is not due to sugar.
Also i take 4 glasses of water in the morning before breakfast everyday.
Doctor also advised to take pantocid D.But it is of no use.
If it is due to gastritis, what medicine you suggest for this.
