Suggest Treatment For Type 2 Diabetes

I suffer from Diabetes II, and currently take Invokana and Junumet. Up until May, I was exercising daily, and feeling good. However, since March, I have loss 20 lbs, and have no energy. I have had a chest X-ray which was fine, blood work which was not abnormal, and a CT scan which reportedly was returned normal. I am 54 years old, but am struggling to feel better, and have more energy. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Weakness is common in patients with diabetes due to anemia, neuropathy or vascular problems or fatty liver etc.

Hypothyroidism may also possible in diabetes patients.

So get it done thyroid profile, serum electrolytes, hemoglobin status, chest x-ray and blood sugar levels.

Use tablet ubinext lc. Of no improvement please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
