Brief Answer:
Hello

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Good day.
Hypoglycemia is a cause of your symptoms. However, since you mentioned that your glucose level was 205, that is unlikely the cause.
Is there any pattern for symptoms? Like evenings/nights etc?

Infection is another cause of your symptoms.
Do you have any pain during passing urine, Any cough, runny nose, loose stools , foot ulcer etc?

Could you answer my above questions please?
Regards
Binu
