My daughter is a gymnast and is diagnosed during June 2016 as Pre-diabetic (14 years old). She struggles with shakes during exercise and competing which is making balancing very difficult. What can she do to prevent this shakes and fatigue?

My tiredness is extreme. Working I find myself squatting and out of breath for several m8nutes. It last 2 hrs but sometimes all day. Shopping I can walk 50ft or less and have to sit down to catch my breath or take a break from walking. My Dr told me that my vitamin D was low,could that be the cause ? Or me not drinking enough water? I don't know how long I can keep going on like this. I'm tired and exhausted one day or days, then I'm fine an able work work or shop the next. Been going on for… read more

I was on Ozempic once a week for a few months, it worked fantastic with levelling out my sugars, however made me very sick. I would take my shot on Tuesday, Wednesday was fine Thursday started getting nauseous, Friday and Saturday projectile vomiting. As I mentioned I was like this for roughly 6 months until we discontinued it's use.
My periodic A1C results are good, but my symptoms eg Neuropathy and Fatigue getting worse

After a 30 minute walk it is important not to just sit the rest of the day. It could negate the 30 minute walk for BG control. Important to move a little all day or lengthen the walk by 10 or 15 minutes. It seems a good time to exercise is after your last meal. That seems to keep BS under control the rest of the day.
I believe it's up to the person and your body. U can use weight bands and work out before u even get out of bed. I broke my back car wreck 2015 and that's how I worked out. So I don't walk even today… read more

Thanks
Later on I will work out the cost of my meals for today and post it for anyone who is interested in keeping costs as low as we can.
It seems that I have insomnia at night lately. Is this a common problem with diabetes or could it be from consuming Zevia cola that has the natural sweetener of the Stevia plant but also has caffeine? Are sleep supplements safe for diabetics? I took a melatonin supplement last night and feel fatigued and groggy this morning. My fbs was 114 and wondering if melatonin can raise blood sugar? I take metformin and 2.5 mg of glipizide once a day.
Graham I forget to add with help for better sleep. Firstly have no drinks after 8pm . Go to bed at the same time every night and avoid all social media. I find reading is very relaxing and when I… read more
