Brief Answer:
Can be post viral fatigue syndrome

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I think that the fatigue may be related to any viral infection you are having. I see the test results you uploaded and glucose levels a doctor's Hba1c are elevated. It can be because of diabetes and you may not change treatment.

Also a viral infection may increase glucose levels. I think you may need to do a total blood count with formula to check white blood cells. The viral infection you were having may lead to post viral fatigue which is most common during COVID. You may need to get tested for COVID also. It can be the reason for elevated glucose levels.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
