3. ok

This is not for me, but i have a question about a co-worker

She says she is extremely tired, is diabetic, but still consumes alot of sugar stuff, like candy and soda
is that what is making her tired?

4. Could be...

In my experience, high blood sugar makes me feel weak and kinda listless.

Low sugar feels different... woozy and kinda spaced out.

I'm not a doctor, but that's my experience. I feel best when I'm in range... for me that's anywhere from around 80 to 150.

On edit, keeping up a daily excercise program is the best cure for that feeling. I try to hit the treadmill for a half hour every evening.

5. it sure isn't helping. Mr YDIT is diabetic and when he isn't eating right, he is

alternately zonked and a grumpus bear.

The best way to prove it out is for her to test her sugar every hour and jot down what she eats and the time she eats it.

She is in denial, and this is not unusual for diabetics, esp if newly diagnosed.
