| Hi Suds, welcome!
I do find that when my blood sugars are elevated, I feel tired..and at diagnosis, I was having a lot of trouble with chest discomfort and palpitation, which resolved as my blood sugars normalized.
I've struggled with the constant hunger, i've read it can be attributed to insulin resistance, very common in T2s. Metformin and regular exercise can help with this. Also, avoiding carbs (potatoes, rice, pasta, bread) and eating more green veggies and lean proteins will help you feel fuller longer.
Like the other posters, i'd encourage you to test often, esp 2 hrs after your first bite of food, so you can learn how different foods affect your blood sugar and make smarter food choices.
