Diabetes in and of itself doesn’t cause lack of energy.  If your BG is out of whack, then that could be the cause, but you say it is not.  Have you been checked for thyroid problems?  Depression?  Anemia?  I do have a thyroid problem, but I also find that in eating the diet I must now eat to control my diabetes, I become easily anemic.  I’ve had to not only take iron pills, but try to eat red meat.  I used to be a vegetarian. — Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove/

Response:

Eat bacon or red meat, but not too much, 2 -to -4 slice a day, that’s 12 gr fat, 0 gr carb. Eat low carb bread also. Did you know, that bacon has less fat and collestoral, than milk or milk products? 1 cup of milk has 15gr carb. I’m type II, also, had no energy. It’s hard to exercise, when there is no energy. JS
