I am in my late 50s ,was diagnosed with type 2 July 2015 ,put on insulin in April this year and my blood sugars are slowly stabilising at between 8 and 12 . I'm trying lose We with Slimming world but finding it hard as my diet is quite restricted because of allergies and digestive problems .It was suggested I went on a low carb diet but because I don't absorb carbs properly it didn't work out and I kept passing out but I am determined to keep going and even I only lose a few pounds it will help .Keep positive and do what you can is my motto good lucky to everyone .

Hello everyone,
How are you today? Have you seen this older discussion?
Does your diabetes ever make you feel tired? If so, how do you cope with the fatigue? Can you share any advice with us?

Seems ages since I was on and lots has changed. My husband and I got divorced and my son helped me do a food diary. By keeping to a fairly strict diet I can control both my diabetes (normal reading UK 7.5) and diviculitus and lost nearly 4 stone in weight. This year though has been hard as I have a suspected soft tissue sarcoma and I am completely drained mentally and physically. I have an operation scheduled to remove it on 24th August. Worried doesn't come anywhere near. I think that I might have to start from scratch on the diet front

Dear all, does type 2 diabetes make you extremely tired? I seem to be fighting to stay awake most afternoons and always thirsty. I'm taki 2 metformin morning along with Glicozides and 2 metformin in the afternoon. I'm havi a nightmare trying to get blood glucose down below 14. I've only once had 7:9. Highest was in the 30's. Help. X
