What Causes Weakness Along With Hot Flushes And Headaches In A Diabetic?
Hi, I m having a problem. My body is really weak and I feel shaky but I m not actually shaking. I m burning hot, and the temperature in my house is 65. I feel sick in the stomach too. I have a headache to add and I feel insanely tired. I am a Type 1 Diabetic, but my sugar levels are normal. So, what s wrong with me?
Fatigue and weakness in diabetic patients can occur due to nutritional deficiencies like Vitamin B12. You have not mentioned the drugs you are taking for diabetes.Most of the drugs can cause B12 deficiency. Hence multivitamin supplements can be taken regularly once a day after food.Hot flashes can occur due to hormonal changes like thyroid dysfunction which should also be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
