For all the MDs on GFY
 

Lately I get very weak and my hands start to shake if I go too long without eating. This has only begun recently. Any ideas why this might happen?

Ummm Ill have to get back to you on it

Diabetes.

That's actually what's been crossing my mind. A lot.

you need food

LO fuckin' L :)

sounds right.

you eat to much unhealthy food that makes your heart pump too hard


after a while your body needs more of that food , not eating causes your body to react because of lack of elements in that food that make your heart pump to hard,


you have to change your eating habits and start eating healthy immediately ,

most people solve this problem by eating more , and just making sure they never have a moment when their body is in need of the elements in that food ,

this of course DOESN'T solve the problem , but will only lead to a qucik death by heart attack , if you want to live longer than the next 15 yrs or so , start eating healthy and doing much sport now


and yes I AM in fact a real MD , I choose not to use medical terms but rather normal wording so you would understand the problem

Im not an MD... BUT....

You may have DIABETES Type 2. Do you suffer from the following (in addition to the shaking):

Cold sweats
muscle looseness in the back area
Extreme lack of energy


Usually you need to boost your blood sugar QUICKLY when you get hit by this.

Oftentimes, Diabetes 2 can be treated through lifestyle changes/dietary changes.

Why not try a real doctor? :thumbsup

To test for diabetes they'd just need a pee or blood sample.. when in doubt, go to the professionals! (and no, I don't mean GFY LOL) :2 cents: :winkwink:

hmmm... see a real md

No, it's not diabetes. Diabetes is a relative or obsolute lack of insulin, which would cause high blood sugars, not low ones.

Hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) would be my bet.

Sounds more like mild hypoglycemia,your blood sugars are low.Eating rebuilds the required carbs.

This is the case when people have been diagnosed with diabetes, use medication but ate too little - their medical compensation for their relative lack of insulin is too much for what is actually needed, and they will suffer from hypoglycemia. You have not been diagnosed with diabetes, and don't worry, you won't, at least not with these complaints.

I don't believe that, but I'd love to hear the medical terms on that if there are any.

Bluff is right.... its unlikey to be Diabetes

I had a similar problem when I lived in the tropics and was sweating a lot... it was dehydation and sodium depletion... Is it hot at the moment where you are?... and if like most of us you live on caffeine this could be the problem.

Have a couple of days on just lots of water and see if that helps.... if not then check with a real MD

I'm here waiting for the answer with you

low blood sugar doesn't mean you have diabetes, my uncle had it and there are alot more symtoms than that. my advice is no one on gfy is a doc, so i would go see my doc if i were you.

:thumbsup :2 cents:

Low blood sugar means you probably DONT have diabetes

In Fact, I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last nite :Graucho :Graucho

Parkinsons?

Diabetes is good compared to some of the shit that can cause low blood sugar. Not to scare you Donovan, but you need to get checked out by a non-GFY doc :)
