Feeling Tired All the Time? Could it be Your Blood Sugar?

Feeling Tired All the Time? Could it be Your Blood Sugar?

Many people in the UK feel tired or run down at some stage, but have you paused to wonder if your energy slump could be linked to blood sugar?

What Could Persistent Fatigue Mean?

• Feeling exhausted even after a full night's sleep
• Struggling with afternoon energy crashes
• Experiencing increased thirst or frequent urination
• Unintentional weight loss or blurred vision

These symptoms could be signs of underlying issues like type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, which are increasingly common in the UK. But how can you know for sure?

Understanding HbA1c: The Key Blood Sugar Indicator

HbA1c is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the last 2-3 months. A raised HbA1c could mean your body isn’t processing sugar well—a key factor in metabolic health.

"Checking your HbA1c can reveal risks for type 2 diabetes before obvious symptoms develop."
