I also felt very tired at the start of this diabetes journey Lisa. There are 2 very importantant things which solved it for me:
- I made sure I ate enough and every meal - a minimum of 3 good meals a day.
- An every day active life did it for me - plenty physical work and regular walks. When I felt tired or dizzy inbetween due to low blood sugar, I immediately take something to eat - coffee and biscuits, fruit like apples or bananas or just sandwiches. A few minutes later, on the move again.
I hope you can figure something out that works for you.
All the best!
