Big Bertha so, so tired

Oh my.

Surely everybody remembers Big Bertha, mounted on that motorized scooter.

I am so, so tired

Long ago I took this complaint to my doctor, who ordered a sleep study. CPAP was prescribed and for a couple of years it seemed to work well.
 
For the last several months, I have awakened tired, driven to work drowsy, sometimes nodding off,* and have nodded off at my desk. Daily. On the weekends, I take naps. In fact, I'll get up and enjoy my ritual -- have coffee and sit in my chair or outside in good weather and read. Well, I don't read anymore, although I try. I fall asleep.
 
I had another sleep study a couple of weeks ago. Since my doc is on vacation, I don't have the results yet. Perhaps the CPAP is set at the wrong pressure, or I need a different mask; the sleep study tech made these suggestions. My wife [sic] wonders if I might be anemic.
 
I am so very tired of being tired. I hate dragging myself through the mornings. I can't concentrate. I make notes on tasks throughout the day; sometimes I can't read my writing, and have to go back to the boss to find out what the task was. This is embarrassing.
 
I am SO very tired of being tired.

Until I see my doc -- any practical suggestions? Not looking for medical advice.
 
* I have found a way to keep from nodding off while driving to work. I eat celery.

3. Have you had your blood sugar tested?

6. Hi, KC

I am diabetic. Someone on another board reminded me of diabetes, and it was a huge "duh" moment for me. I haven't checked my sugar in years. I start again, in about 40 minutes, to test my postprandial sugar.

Big Bertha might want to have her thyroid checked as well.

I suspect it's the diabetes.  Probably needs insulin and better diet control.

Considering it's obesity,   I would think it would be impossible to find.  Simple tricks they use for other purposes, like rolling them in flour, wouldn't work for tumors.

Were it not for her 'wife' she could have been immortalised as one of those mad cat-women who die and are eaten by the pets...I think she's got about 40 of them.

Seems like a lot of DUmmies have some sort of intermittent diabetes.  Must count for something when applying for the disability gravy train.
