2. I've been experiencing blurred vision frequently during the past month..

Rationale:
Blurred vision can be associated with high glucose levels and may be a symptom of undiagnosed diabetes mellitus. Fatigue that responds to a short nap, having some muscle aches at night, and being slightly short of breath after walking up a flight of stairs with a quick recovery may be within the normal functioning of a healthy older client.
