Every time I have asked a doctor about fatigue and being tired all the
time, I get a blank stare and no answer. Finally, after my doctor had
just told me that I have sleep apnea, carpal tunnel syndrome, and that
the complications from prostate surgery were permanent, I asked him
which of these was causing fatigue. He told me that it was my
diabetes. I'm a T2 and my bg control is good - Ac1 under 6.
Does controlled diabetes really cause fatigue?

Whoa ... your doctor told you you have sleep apnea and
does not point to that as the #1 suspect in your fatigue
problems ????????
What the hell ... that is ridiculous. Sleep apnea, as Jennifer
points out, is serious stuff with serious side effects ...
fatigue
being just one ... but luckily a CPAP machine (which is a
mask you wear while sleeping that keeps air flowing under
pressure) will almost certainly fix this problem.
Either you are not reporting the facts accurately or your
doctor is quack. Seriously. I know the mantra on usenet
is "check with your doctor" and that is always good advice
but sometimes dopes on the street like me know more about
a specific issue than a doctor...like when my doctor told me
"we are only worried about bg spikes above 240." He now
knows better and I might suggest you do a little research
on sleep apnea and then school your doc.
The one question that keeps popping up when I read your
post is "how does your doctor know you have sleep apnea?"
cheers
