Diabetologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. You diabetes control is not good and needs to be improved. Its possible your medication might be low. Due to reduced insulin acting on improving glucose into cells, you are having excessive fatigue.
2. Also get your complete hemogram to evaluate for anemia. Anemia can cause severe weakness. Post eating, blood circulation towards gut will increase, causing peripheral weakness, which is causing fatigue.
3. Improve your nutrition. Control blood sugar. Get a complete hemogram done.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
