If you are experiencing ongoing fatigue, weakness in your legs and hands, and sleepiness despite having normal blood sugar levels, it is important to consider other nutritional and health factors.
• Fatigue and weakness can result from low levels of iron, vitamin B12, or vitamin D, because of nutritional deficiency. So, you could check the levels.
• An imbalanced thyroid can also lead to fatigue. So, having a test done would be helpful.
• Include iron-rich foods such as finger millet, pearl millet, lentils, beans, chickpeas, spinach, amaranth, tofu, quinoa, pumpkin seeds, and dried fruits such as raisins. Non-vegetarians can include options like eggs, seafood, and chicken in your diet.
• Improve iron absorption from plant foods by combining them with vitamin C-rich foods such as lemon juice, oranges, tomatoes, or bell peppers.
• Vitamin B12 is naturally present in animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, which helps non-vegetarians while vegetarians need to consume dairy, eggs, and foods fortified with B12 or consider taking supplements to avoid deficiency.
• Make sure to get enough vitamin D through fortified foods and safe sun exposure between 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.
• Stay well-hydrated and maintain a balanced diet.

Your sugar levels (FBS 80, PPBS 110) are within the normal range—so diabetes is unlikely the cause of your fatigue. Since you're vegetarian, symptoms like fatigue, leg/hand weakness, and sleepiness could point to deficiencies like B12, iron, or vitamin D.
Next Steps
Get your B12, Vitamin D, Iron profile, and Thyroid levels tested. Also track your sleep and hydration.
Health Tips
Include nuts, seeds, soaked raisins, jaggery, green leafy veggies, and a B12 supplement if levels are low. Stay hydrated and active.

In that case it might be because of vital deficiencies. You can get it checked. But better is to go for a physical checkup once or consult telephonically at least. At times there are different reasons for fatigue and laziness. Even stress is the biggest cause. So it’s always better to figure out the root cause and fix it
