Thank you for your question and welcome to Empowher. It appears you have many different symptoms and issues going on all at once. I think you should follow close with your treating physician since there are no clear diagnoses. Your diabetes should be getting treated and this is common for obese individuals. You can find out more information about diabetes here https://www.empowher.com/condition/diabetes.
Your COPD is probably due to your smoking history which is very common. It is normal to get on inhalers to help with your breathing. This also may be a reason that you are experiencing fatigue along with your diabetes and obesity. Have you tried talking to a nutritionist? You should also consult with your physician about an exercise regime. Slowly losing weight is your best alternative to get back some of your energy and exercising is your best option. I hope this information helps but I would certainly keep close contact with your physician.
