Diabetes: Discussion thread.

[b0son]

Racing pulse, cold sweats/clammy hands, pale skin, tremors in hands. I used to get these episodes when I was younger and underweight after major physical activity. Then when I got older and overweight, it would happen after having a softdrink on an empty stomach - 5-10min later, hands get clammy, hands shake, heartrate goes up. Stops happening altogether when I lose weight.

My dad refuses to go on a pump, but he manages his sugar pretty poorly. Wildly overestimates how much sugar he needs to get himself back to a healthy range. So his BGL is chronically high, and he has eye issues now :/
