Being tired all the time, a sign of diabetes or iron anemia?

Answer 1

Either condition, and many others can cause it. Have your doctor run the necessary tests for diabetes and anemia since those tests are cheap, easy, and those conditions are common. Make sure your doctor looks into any other possible causes.

With your doctor's permission, start exercising (or do more if you already do) and make sure you eat a nutritious diet. Too few calories will slow your metabolism and make your tired. Lack of vitamins and minerals can cause fatigue. Also CFS, sleep apnea, and many other conditions.

Your doctor should be able to help. If not, you might need another doctor.
