You will probably need some blood test ran @A DiabetesTeam Member, could be anything from low vitamin B12 to a hypo thyroid. Please consult with your Dr.❤️

Feeling constantly tired can be a common issue for people with diabetes. Here are some potential reasons based on my knowledge base:

- Fluctuating Blood Sugar Levels: Unregulated blood sugar levels, whether high (hyperglycemia) or low (hypoglycemia), can contribute to fatigue.
- Underlying Medical Conditions: Conditions like heart disease, anemia, thyroid problems, kidney disease, and nerve pain can cause fatigue.
- Medications: Some medications, such as statins, beta-blockers, and diuretics, can cause tiredness as a side effect.
- Quality of Sleep: Poor sleep quality due to high or low blood sugar levels, frequent urination, or sleep apnea can lead to fatigue.
- Depression or Anxiety: These mental health conditions are common in people with diabetes and can significantly affect energy levels.

If you are experiencing chronic fatigue, it's important to talk to your doctor to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
