Does having diabetes mean you'll always be tired? - Dr Shailendra Trivedi - Video
Overview
Maintaining an HbA1c level below 7% is pivotal for individuals with diabetes as it signifies well-managed blood sugar levels over time, reducing the risk of severe complications such as heart disease and nerve damage. While fatigue is a common symptom of diabetes, it's not a definitive experience for all.
Fluctuating blood sugar levels can contribute to tiredness, but effective diabetes management through medication, lifestyle adjustments, and adequate sleep can help alleviate this symptom. Furthermore, other factors like stress, anaemia, or sleep disturbances may also cause fatigue in individuals with diabetes. Managing blood sugar levels diligently, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and addressing potential underlying causes of tiredness are key steps to combat fatigue.
In this video, Dr Shailendra Trivedi, Vishesh Jupiter Hospital, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, elucidates the significance of maintaining HbA1c levels below 7% for individuals with diabetes. Dr. Trivedi tackles the common misconception that having diabetes inevitably leads to perpetual tiredness, offering insights into both HbA1c targets and managing fatigue.
