1. Eat a balanced diet

2. Exercise regularly

Engaging in physical activity can help reduce the symptoms of fatigue caused by diabetes. “So instead of maintaining a sedentary lifestyle, go for a walk in the morning or evening,” says endocrinologist Ashok Kumar Jhingan at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital.

3. Improve sleep quality

Poor sleep quality is one of the most common contributors to diabetes-related fatigue, so establish good sleep habits like maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and creating a relaxing bedtime routine.

4. Stress management

Stress is a direct cause of fatigue. It can drain the last of the energy in diabetics and healthy people alike. So talk to your doctor or a friend to help you manage stress better, says endocrinologist Ashok Kumar Jhingan, MD.

5. Monitor your blood sugar

Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential to prevent both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. These two health conditions can lead to fatigue.
