Are Fatigue And Dizziness Symptoms Of Diabetes?

I am out of shape and in the past two years gained about 50 lbs. I am a 60 year old woman. I had bypass and a stent done four years ago when I was diagnosed with peripheral artery disease. My life changed, and I sit at a home computer and get barely any exercise. The last few months, I get winded doing the slightest thing. I can t go to the supermarket without the help of the cart and still... am exhausted and dizzy when getting in the car. I know, I need to go to the doctor... could I have developed diabetes?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I really appreciate your concern, one can not find the clear indication of diabetes but just to rule out the possibility of it, one has to get done the test, looking to your history it is likely that you may have the diabetes, it cannot be said for sure as I told there is no obvious symptoms of diabetes but doubt can be cleared, I would advise to get done the plasma glucose test (random, fasting and postmeal).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. A G Shaikh
