It seems like i just can't get enough sleep these days. I will get 9 hours in a night and still feel like I need a nap. I spoke to both my endo and my…"

Kelly WPA replied to Khiry's discussion 'Diabetes and being tired'"Another thing to look at is your Vitamin B and D levels - both can make you tired. Diabetics tend to have low Vitamin D levels. Optimal should be about 50-70."
Amanda replied to Khiry's discussion 'Diabetes and being tired'"i'm also tired a lot. i'm 28 and work close to 60 hours a week...which is probably like being in college...my thyroids are fine and my blood sugar levels are very stable and steady. i eat a healthy diet. i love veggies and drink lots of…"
Kelly WPA replied to Khiry's discussion 'Diabetes and being tired'"I agree with BSC about the thyroid. That is a common one that causes fatigue. Make sure your doctor runs both Free T4 and Free T3 because you can have a normal TSH with the other 2 being abnormal. Your Free T3 is your energy and that level should…"
Brian (bsc) replied to Khiry's discussion 'Diabetes and being tired'"Being tired could be a symptom of thryoid problems. Unfortunately, having diabetes is associated with higher rates of thyroid problems. Your endo could run some tests and check.
ps. College can be stressful and you can end being sleep deprived.…"

Hey guys, I'm a 21 year old college senior. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2009 at the age of 19. Its been extremely difficult for me to adjust to diabetes while in college. Although I still have difficult days I'm doing pretty good now. I've been wearing the OmniPod for about 3 months now and its been PHENOMENAL. I just wanted to know if anyone has a solution for or ever spoken to someone about tired a lot. I usually can't get a lot of things done in the day because I'm usually always…See More

Khiry replied to Jared's discussion 'Why is this taking so long?' in the group OmniPod Users"Hey Jared. I just started the omnipod two weeks ago, and like you, I was excited and anxious to use it.

Khiry replied to Khiry's discussion 'I start the OmniPod pump on tomorrow and leave for Africa on Saturday.......... any advice?'"Thanks so much! This was very helpful and I'll keep these tips in mind. I'm new to the site and I was reading some of the reviews of the omnipod and one of the biggest things I've noticed so far is the pods not working properly…"
acidrock23 replied to Khiry's discussion 'I start the OmniPod pump on tomorrow and leave for Africa on Saturday.......... any advice?'"Wow! That's two bold steps for the price of one, happy hour or something? I have a MM pump and, unfortunately don't know much about the particulars of OmniPods. Africa would be very interesting to visit though. Is this work, school,…"
Emily B replied to Khiry's discussion 'I start the OmniPod pump on tomorrow and leave for Africa on Saturday.......... any advice?'"Supplies, supplies, supplies. If this is your first pump, I hope you can get a copy of John Walsh's Pumping Insulin, its a pumpers bible. We didn't read it until after son started pumping about 9 months and found that some of our settings…"
