hi madam.
all these conditions are super exactly related to diabetes since he withdrawn medicines one year back,so that sugar levels might become abnormal. fatigue, weight loss ,confusions,uncontrollable reactions all these are due to uncontrolled diabetes. patients may be severely depressed if they have an uncontrolled sugar level in their body. there is the only one solution for this is to control diabetes.control sugar level in blood. if diabetes is under control he can lead a normal life all these symptoms wont persist. thank you
