Becoming lean and tired easily, does it indicate diabetes?
-
Hello, I am 35 years old male. I am becoming lean and tired easily. Frequently I get the urge to urinate also. Have I become diabetic? Is my fatigue related to my diabetes? I have not done my blood test and gone to see a doctor. Please let me know why diabetes causes fatigue.

@kunal Fatigue and tiredness are not the same. When a person is tired, they usually feel better after resting. When a person has persistent fatigue, rest may not relieve feelings of exhaustion and lethargy. According to the American Diabetes Association, research shows that 61 percent of people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes report fatigue as a symptom. The same study found that fatigue is the second most common symptom in this group. Fatigue is a common symptom of diabetes. There are many reasons why diabetes can cause fatigue, including: changes in blood sugar levels
other diabetes symptoms, complications of diabetes
mental and emotional issues resulting from diabetes
being overweight -
