Can diabetes cause tremors?
My hands have been shaking quite a bit lately, especially when I'm tired. My dadi also has diabetes, and she mentioned she sometimes gets tremors. Could my blood sugar be affecting this?

Oh, hand shaking can be really scary to experience! Shaking or tremors are very typical when your blood sugar drops too low, which is your body's way of telling you it needs energy. Try to keep some candy or juice with you at all times, and do let your doctor know about these episodes.

Yes, I just experienced this last week when my hands started shaking uncontrollably out of nowhere. It turned out to be a severe low sugar episode because I delayed my lunch. As soon as I drank some glucose water, the tremors stopped. Please check your sugar levels immediately when this happens.

Honestly, yes. When my granddad's sugar drops, his hands start shaking like crazy and he can't even hold a cup of tea. It is usually just low blood sugar, which is super easy to fix with some juice or sugar. Definitely tell your doc so they can fix your dosage, bro.

Yes, blood sugar fluctuations, especially sudden drops, can cause your hands to shake. Please sit down and have something sweet if your levels are low. I hope you feel better soon and can get a quick consultation with your doctor.

Oh god, when my hands started shaking last month, I panicked and thought it was some neurological disease! But then my doctor told me it was just hypoglycemia from my high insulin dose. It is so scary but please try not to overthink it; just check your sugar levels and speak to your doctor about adjusting your meds.
