DonnaJean,
I am not sure if your husband's constant tiredness and inflammation are a result of abnormal blood sugar level as your husband is diabetic. Since I am also suffering from type II diabetes, my oncologist always explains to me that the illness makes me feel tired and the healing of mouth sore takes a much longer time than other people. I am more than a year post treatment and the sore on my tongue never goes away even though I have tried hard to maintain my blood sugar level.
