Hi Mick,
i get recurrent kidney infections with my diabetes and feel exactly as you feel described, tired from the higher than usual bloods and tired with the infection. I tend just to curl up and sleep, alot!!
With high bloods i sometimes cant keep my eyes open. literally.
Hope you feel better soon 🙂

When I am down with a cold or anything, my sugars are up and I want to sleep a lot.
I always make sure I get things checked with my doctor because I find it difficult to work when I want to sleep so much. Sometimes I have to go back to work before I am ready, but luckily I have an understanding manager.
You are doing the right thing getting things checked out. Don't forget to take regular meals and unless advised otherwise by medics, keep taking your medications.
I hope you feel better soon.

Mick, it's hardly suprising you are tired with numbers like that you are well over 3 times above a normal level.
Having an infection will add to the whammy too
Is there any reason why you can't/haven't increased your insulin to bring your numbers down?
Hope you feel better soon.
