I have been a Diabetic since age 14 approximately 49 years. I feel tired constantly & need a few answers to some questions. First my sugar has never been well controlled. Tends to bounce from low to high no matter how much I watch what I eat. Lowest was 18 highest 1157.I had some tests done due to being tired ALL the time. No energy at all. The tests dome were a Thyroid Perxidose Result 10. Thyroglobulin Antibodies Result 20. TSH result 1.08 Free T-4 result 0.9 & Cortisol 10.7 all tests were done at 11:22 A.M. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
By your history and description, uncontrolled diabetes is the cause for your weakness. So you need to focus more on diabetes control. Once you achieve good diabetes control, your weakness will definitely improve. Better to consult an endocrinologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
