Shaking like a leaf, I hate this feeling.

I am the only one in my family who is NOT diabetic. All my siblings and all their children, my cousins and their children, my aunts and uncles are all diabetic. So I know a little about what you are saying. I know America uses a different scale of testing blood sugar. Our "normal" range is 3.6 - 5.8. Here they tend to use Pepsi Max to boost a low result. I certainly hope you are feeling much better now and have no serious effects.

sorry to hear this hatley. so sad that there are a few of us here has to face problems, each of us. being diabetic is one problem that i hope won't happen to any of my first family. i know it is an inherited problem and i am afraid one of our children has. i hope not. anyway, always take care there patsie. i know how it feels shaking sometimes.

well you better take better care my friend. you know how much we all love you here. i havent had that but i do have something called hyperglycemia, where im required to take something to boost my sugar level if i feel faint. i was dating a guy for a while that had the same diabetis as yours i think. he had to test his level all the time and was very careful with it. he took shots before every meal. do you have to do that? he had me carry a red shot vial around with me in case something happened he said that i should give him it right away if he wasnt responding to me. luckily i never had to use it. he broke up with me after 9 mths of asking me to marry him because he said i couldnt get over my late hubby. oh well. anyway, please take care..ok?

Hello my friend Well I don't have this problem but I want you to know I am sorry you have to deal with this, feel better Smoochessss

I get a bit shaky sometimes, always have,especially if I have had a cold and then I get back to exercising a bit too quickly afterwards . I thought mine was blood sugar related but someone on a running forum said they had the same thing and it was iron deficiency which seems quite likely in my case as I find that eating raisins help it. Chocolate does too but not just sugar on its own. When I was expecting, I had a blood test and it was close but not enough to be diabetic. I was given iron tablets then. One of our friends has just found out he has it . His wife already has it so they are quite well up on procedure. Take care..pandaeyes

Hi Hatley sorry to know about this my friend, you need to take care of your health and please take adequate rest, my blood sugar with medicines is 98 fasting, and post lunch is 112 around that, but gradually i am having nerve damages in soles of both feet Bhuwan

I am not diabetic, and do not want to be, although people in my family are being diagnosed lately. I do hate it though when my body "runs out of fuel" I do not test for sugars, but I do make sure I eat lean protein or drink a glass of milk if I am shaky.(Low fat milk). I am glad you monitor and maintain yourself so well. I wonder if reading about the cheeses caused you to secrete extra insulin and have a sugar low?

Hi Hatley I hope that you ll recover from this shaking feeling. My father in law is diabetic too, he tries to keep his sugar level in control by strict diet. i hope that you ''ll feel well. Take care of yourself.

i have fairly bad asthma and sometimes when i take my ventolin (inhalor) one of the side effects are feeling shakey and i really dont like feeling like that either, but after awhile it does go away on its on.

I don't have it, but my sister did and I encourage you to do everything you can to keep healthy. Though I don't know what you're going through, I know what your loved ones go through and I hope that you can get it under control so you're sugar levels don't drop so drastically..

Hi Hatley~ I hope by now you are feeling alot better! I have two very close friends that are diabetic so I do know a bit about the "rules". My next door neighbor is an Insulin Diabetic, and don't know what type he is exactly! I do know that he has gone into diabetic shock and been taken out in an ambulance quite a few times throughout the years. I worry about him because now he lives alone. Before he lived with his mom and then his girlfriend so there was usually someone there if it happened. Now he has no one there if he goes into diabetic shock! I am quite fond of him and have known him for 30 years now and he is a very private person, but I still worry and care alot about him, but don't want to invade his privacy! He takes care of himself the best he can! He has been a diabetic all his life, since he was 2 years old! That is very sad! His mom told me they didn't think he would even make it to grow up and now he is 48 years old! So, I do know alot about living with diabetes. My girlfriend is also diabetic and watches her blood levels very carefully too! So, I have gone through alot of learning with the both of them! I hope that you are ok and continue to be. I know how difficult it is to have to keep watching and trying to contro your blood sugar! Stay well Hatley, Hugs, Opal

I don't . Sorry to hear your health Hatley. But my grand mother is diabetic. she often hungry, she beat it with eating oatmeal twice or third time a day. she can maintain the blood sugar with it. I know the taste is not delicious at all and kind of boring to eat it everyday. I eat it too even i am not diabetic, cause my doctor said that if i have one of my family diabetic, i can get it too. so i eat it to prevent it. Maybe you can try sometimes, take care

hi hatley! sorry to hear that. i may not be in your position but i understand how hard it is monitoring yourself to keep up with the medications. take care always. :)

Hi hatley,I'm sorry I don't know that problem,but I'm worried about you got such troubles.Take care of yourselfs. I hope you can get better quickly.

Numerous times I have been tested for diabetes because I have a complaint of frequency of going to the toilet, which is one of the symptoms of diabetes, but in every case I have been given the all clear, naturally it's a good result, however I've never been able to get on top of the complaint I have, the GP and consultants think it's nerves and anxiety related and that is much more complex when it's a mental problem than a physical to remedy. Take care of yourself my dear friend.

I'm not diabetic, but I do have a tendency for low blood sugar, not so bad since the diet started, because I'm eating more regularly.

My mother had hypoglycemia and she used to carry cheese in her purse for when she felt like that. I have felt like that occasionally, don't know why, except one blood test did show I was borderline hypoglycemic. Not a fun feeling...

Hello freind, I am not a diabetic till now, but my parents are. My father do complain sometimes that he feels as if something inside is shivering. He is on Insulin injections twice a day. My mom is also a diabetic but she really checks what she eats.Try to have a brisk walk twice a day, it really helps! And never forget to get your meds, Wish you all the very best! Bodhi

That sounds very unpleasant Hatley. Hope you are ok now. I know very little about this but may have to get up to speed soon. I'm due for some blood tests in a couple of days. Fingers crossed.
