I thought my sugar levels had a direct relationship to being fatigued but I really dont know if this is true.Is being tired all of the time regardless of how much I sleep and what my sugar level is normal. What can I do ? thanks
See your Dr and get a physical. Get your blood levels checked. Hypothyroidism is a common cause of being tired, and there are many other causes too. Good luck to you!
you might want to check into the MTHFR mutation. There can be one or two and a host of other problems.
Just discovered a family member has one. *heterozygous a1298c. May be the cause of her EXTREME fatigue. Brain fog. Etc. She is Hashimoto's - hypothyroid but her recent blood work says all is well with that one.
Working on the mutant gene. Something about vitamin B. *Which is crucial for brain, dopamine, serotonin, and all that. She had extremely high level of b12. The wrong kind. Now she must take the methylcobalamin - sorry, spelling.
The other junk is cyanide. Synthetic cyanide. From what I have read it is not good.
Cyanocobalamin is in every vitamin B12 supplement known because it is stable and less costly to manufacture. But it is not usable in the body. If the body has sufficient energy it may be able to offload the cyanide and benefit from the useful component. Mainly, what people experience after taking cyanocobalamin supplements is stimulation.
Low energy can be caused by a number of things. Hopefully you have a competent doctor who will guide you through this. Hopefully the cause is something that can be identified with some common labs and can be addressed easily. Otherwise, it may take a while to figure out what the cause is. If all tests, etc come up "normal" I would encourage you to consider Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It is also called Myalgic Encephalitis. Most doctors don't know how to diagnose or treat it. Although there are other doctors who treat CFS, the ones I am familiar with are Nancy Klimas (Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine), Martin Lerner (Beaumont Health System) and Jose Montoya (Stanford). I'd encourage you to look them up and look up CFS. Good luck!
A study in the Netherlands linked long term type 1 diabetes to chronic fatigue. Suprisingly, the severity of fatigue was not correlated with blood sugar control. To read about the study just google "type 1 diabetes chronic fatigue".
I read it and thought "that explains why I have been exhausted for the last 10 years".
I would suggest having a nephrologist evaluate kidney function. Chronic diabetes can damage the kidneys and the parts of the adrenal system connected to the kidneys (adrenal gland is mounted on the kideys and you can kind of think of the kidneys acting as a blood quality sensor, Symptoms of kidney failure can include chronic anemia since the adrenal gland also produces epo a protein that controls the production of red blood cells. A consequence of anemia is low blood oxygen and chronic fatigue.
