A member asked:

I am insulin dependant diabetic, but i feel very tired in the afternoons, how do i boost some energy into this body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: This is a difficult query without seeing you. A low blood sugar in the afternoon could explain this and in that case simple adding a candy bar would relieve your symptoms but there are many other causes of afternoon fatigue so i need more information.
