General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear , This is Dr. S.Tomar from Healthcaremagic.com's medical team and I will be your medical advisor for this question. Thank you for sharing your concern with us and showing trust on us.
I would recommend to strictly control blood glucose levels . HbA1c should be strictly below 7 in diabetics and blood pressure under 120/80. As these are the main causes of feeling of lack of energy if not controlled . For boosting the energy levels I recommend following:
1. exercise regularly , 45 minute walk 5 times a week.
2. eat healthy food , avoid smoking /alcohol.
3. sleep 7 hours daily
4. take all your prescribed medicine regularly.
5. practice yoga/meditation / deep breathing exercise for relaxation .
6. follow up your healthcare providers .
As far as blurred vision is concerned so get it a eye check up done with your ophthalmologist .

I wish you good health.
This is my initial response and feel free to contact if you need any further clarification .
