Re: Diabetes and tiredness - Diabetes Health Pack

[Guest guest]

Heidi,

Thanks for the info. I will try them. I am willing to try anything at this

point. I find myself dragging up and down the halls at the school I work at and

dragging when I get home and am trying to do my housework. It is so

frustrating. Are those the only vitamins you take? I take centrum and citrical

every

day.

You mentioned pancreas vitamins and antioxidants. What type of those do you

take? I am open for any suggestions at this point.

Thanks so much!

Angie,

Fatigue and tiredness do seem to be part of the diabetes picture. I

experienced a lot of it early in my initial months right after diagnosis, and of

course, those three months that lead up to my DKA. It eventually got a little

better, but I still find myself having to nap on days that I've had a lot of

activity.

I started taking special vitamins and minerals that were for diabetics and that

are supposed to help regulate and lower your blood glucose, and these,

along with my pancreas vitamins and antioxidants, seem to help greatly with

the fatigue, and I do recommend them to anyone else with this disease.

The vitamins can be purchased at most grocery stores, and any pharmacy.

It's called The Diabetes Health Pack, and it's made by NatureMade. Comes in

a large yellow box and a month's supply is about $12-$15, depending upon

where you buy them. You might give these a try, I found them to be most

helpful and they did help to boost my energy levels.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
