According to research published in the Journal of Psychological Research, fatigue can be caused by poor diabetes control. Here are some ways to combat diabetes fatigue.

1. Eat a balanced diet

Eating foods high in fiber helps keep you fuller longer and prevents low blood sugar. Eat beans, fruits, and vegetables to support stable energy levels. Lean protein at meals helps support muscle health and energy. Fish and chicken are great sources of protein without too much fat.

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.

6. Drink enough water

Dehydration can make you feel tired. Drinking enough water helps support bodily functions, including regulating blood sugar levels, which is especially important for people with diabetes.
