Could Extreme Fatigue While On Thyroid Medications Indicate Diabetes?

I have been feeling excessively groggy after 3pm & sometimes need to lay down in a fog for about 2 hours until I feel better. I an female,43, non smoker, takes birth control, exercises 1-3 times a week for 45 minutes at a times. Intake thyroid medicine also. What possible problems could I be having? Is this a symptom of diabetes or a stroke or a blood clot? I usually have low blood pressure, about a month ago it was extremely high. But then went own to normal. I am 157 5 2

Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
To diagnose Diabetes you need to get your blood sugaar level checked before breakfast at 3 different days after a gap. Get that reading to your physician who along with physical Examination will tell you if you are diabetic.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful' & give a five Stars too. Write a review about your experience with me.
