If your diabetes is not under control it can itself cause a fatigue due to lack of energy
Also metformin cause a lot of lactic acid build up causing bloating and cramps sometimes
Thirdly it can be angina as you are diabetic and on insulin there can be a risk of atherosclerosis in the arteries of the heart and diabetic cardiomyopathy
See a heart specialist and get a 2d echo done or stress test to rule out things
