I know most people's walking and balance fade with the day if they have used too much energy.

I am best in the morning regardless of how much I do. By lunch time I have great difficulty in walking.

Anyone have ideas please.

Jam – My ideas revolve around diet and insulin, of course.

In those mornings when you are feeling at your best, are you eating breakfast, especially carbohydrates or sugary cereals? When "fasting" overnight, the production of insulin is reduced.

Does your difficulty walking occurred before or after eating lunch? Can you keep a diary of what you eat and identify a connection between your symptoms and your diet?

Just wondering….

Interesting - my wife has the opposite problem. Her heavy right leg is the worst in the AM, by bedtime it is sometimes much better!
