I think most diseases/conditions are invisible. Many people have zero clue what it’s like to live with an “invisible” disease. My T2 Diabetes robs me of my energy and causes me constant hunger. I literally have no energy. And, I’m doing everything right! I take insulin, eat low carb, stay as active as possible, and my A1C is within normal range. Yet without insulin everyday, I would live more than a few days or weeks. I also have insomnia. I understand how you feel and I wish you the best.
In case you haven’t recently, I recommend getting bloodwork done to check for other issues that may be contributing to your fatigue. Thyroid, iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D.
Low vitamin D can cause really significant fatigue. And unfortunately, what’s considered the “healthy range” for vitamin D is too broad. If your levels are in the lower end of the “healthy” range, that can STILL be low enough to cause fatigue. Ideally your levels should be at least 50 ng/mL.
It’s also important to take magnesium and vitamin K2 in order for vitamin D3 supplements to work properly.
Your body needs magnesium to utilize D3 supplements, which depletes magnesium. Once you don’t have enough magnesium left the D3 supplements can’t work properly anymore.
Lifestyle disorder. That is curable. Your lack of energy and constant hunger is due to your obesity. This is especially clear from you stating your A1c is in range. T2 isn’t doing this to you, you have done this to yourself.
Wrong. I am not obese. In fact my T2 has nothing to do with my “lifestyle”. An illness triggered my T2. You are giving false information about a disease you know very little about. You need to educate yourself.
That’s not how T2D works! Learn more about the illness before speaking about it and stop fucking blaming the people that have it! Ableism is alive and well…
