“Do diabetics need more sleep?”
I'm 24 years old and I was diagnosed with diabetes. I feel very tired all the time. Could it be from my diabetes?

Not really if you sugar is under control
Yes it could for several reasons. Diabetes interfers with sleep so see a sleep specialist for tests. People with diabetes frequently also have low thyroid so get it checked. Also keep your blood sugars in control so your body is using the sugar for energy instead of wasting it in the urine. If you are overt. get your wt. down. See your Dr. to check these & other things.
Very unlikely. Tell the doctor to look for another explanation.
