Recently, some diabetics patients complain they feel tired easily and want to know whether it is related with their Diabetes. About this tissue, I have to say it is normal for Diabetes patients to feel tired as this problem indeed causes frequently fatigue.
How does Diabetes cause tiredness?
Diabetes is an abnormal medical condition in which blood glucose can not be used properly. Everyday, we take foods and our body transform these foods into glucose. Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, allows glucose to be absorbed by cells, which turn it into energy for the body. For people with Diabetes, insulin can not function properly or is not produced at all, as a result of which, blood glucose can not be consumed effectively by our body. As no or less energy is supplied to the body, diabetics feel tired easily.
Besides, aside from high blood sugar level, some other factors also can worsen tiredness symptoms:
1. Mental stress
2. Some Medications
3. Inactivity
4. Pregnancy in Gestational Diabetes
Management of tiredness in Diabetes
1. Relieve your stress in your life
Some people feel anxious and stressed when they are diagnosed with Diabetes and this will also contribute to tiredness. Try to keep being optimistic and relaxed, which will help to prevent or remit tiredness.
2. Physical exercise regularly and have a plenty of sleep
Create a schedule regarding physical exercises and then stick to it. Moderate exercise with plenty of sleep will help combat fatigue.
3. Try to control blood sugar into normal range
High blood sugar is the root cause of tiredness in Diabetes, so as long as blood sugar level is controlled into normal range, tiredness symptom will be remitted effectively. For the effective control, patients can tale some medicines like metformin or insulin injection.
