Both my sisters and I are diabetic. My 92 year old Mother thinks she's becoming a diabetic. She has always gotten shaky if she doesn’t eat right away but when we check her blood sugar and it isn’t ever low. The Dr. has also ran a glucose tolerance test
We are giving her Pidilite for loss of electrolytes due to her medicine but we can’t figure out what would cause her to shake? I’m concerned about how much she has been eating.
KTigart, I suppose the "solution" is simply giving her something to eat. I'm sure you know that drill. But like you I'd be concerned about what this means and what the cause is. You are concerned about the amount she is eating -- is it too much or too little, in your opinion? Has her weight changed since this shaking started?
Have you looked up each of her drugs and read all the possible side effects?
I experience shakiness, sweating and sometimes an overall weakness. The "cure"
for my symptoms is to eat a small amount of protein like a dollop of peanut butter, a chunk of cheese or a handfull of nuts.Within 10 minutes, I feel fine.
Get shaky and light headed when I need to eat and have waited too long.
Fruit juice is a quick fix.
