Hello,
Diabetes itself causes increased thirst, increased urination as well as fatigue. it is possible that your glucose control isn't adequate. I would advise you to get an hba1c, fasting and post prandial sugars tested. After which your doctor could address your drug dosages.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
