Thank you both for your replies anyhow :-)
@whome I'm leaning more towards that this might be some kind of panic symptom. The last couple of days I've been fearing diabetes more as, besides heavy limbs, I also feel strangely "shaky" even though I'm not visably shaking. I get attacks of fatigue. At the same time it doesn't really fit the symptoms of diabetes fully either, no thirst, no hunger, etc.
It's also on a day-to-day basis, and I notice if I engage in some strenious exercise my symptoms are usually gone the next day.
