Low in energy and the will to do things - ideas please?

I've been very low in energy for several months. I want to do more gardening for example, but though I have the desire, I can't seem to muster enough energy. I spend a long time in bed reading in the day. I wonder if this is simply an age thing - I'm 73 this year. I have type 2 diabetes but otherwise fairly healthy for my age. Ideas welcome, especially if you are my age or older and have gone through the same thing.

  • I’m sorry Marianne that you have been feeling low in energy. 

    As others have suggested, maybe get checked out by your GP.

    Generally, I don’t have the same energy as I had ten years ago, but I do find that since the physio has been working with me on strengthening my hips, knees, legs and core, and I’ve been able to resume my usual walks and keep fit exercises, it has made me feel stronger and more energetic.
