10 Warning Signs of Diabetes
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Warning Sign #4: Tiredness
Much of our energy comes from the carbohydrates that we eat, including glucose. Once digested, the glucose is taken to our cells where it can then be absorbed and converted into energy. Without sugar, our cells cannot generate the energy that they need to operate, and we feel tired as a result.
Patients with diabetes are unable to absorb glucose into their bodies, meaning that their cells cannot energize themselves. As such, people with diabetes are likely to feel tired a lot of the time, regardless of how much they eat and sleep.
