Default Re: Blood sugar question

If you had those symptoms and he wants to see you again in 6 months,,,I'd be high tailing it to another Doctor. In the meantime they should have made you take at the very least a CBC ( full blood count ) and then a follow up as to why you would be shaking. I am diabetic myself and my sugars can get to about 300 real quick without all of the shaking. You want to count out anything else and 6 months is too long to wait for physical symptoms like you are experiencing.

I used to run marathons and 10k races in the Marine Corps and showed symptoms of hypoglycemia. It took time but we arrived at a management plan that kept my blood sugar where it belonged.
