I don't get it

Last couple'a days I've been getting shaky way before I should. I'm pretty sure its low blood sugar because eating helps, even if it does take a bit of time to get the shakes to go away. Used to be that I could easily go to noonish before I had to eat, this morning, it was almost as soon as I drank my coffee. Hmmm, wonder if its the coffee? But I didn't get the shakes until a few hours after it yesterday... Yes, I know, I should probably call the doctor, and that means I probably will need a fasting blood draw (hate those.) So, yeah, I don't get it, I wonder if it has finally happened and I've become diabetic... So, tell me, my friends who are diabetic, or in, or formally in, the medical community - does this sound like diabetes?

I will say go see a doctor because if you are diabetic then you need to start eating earlier in the day.

I did today, but I just don't have time right now. Might find some time next week if I still am having trouble...

@ElicBxn You are being foolish not going to a doctor and finding time next week you should do it right away just my opinion.

@Marcyaz I'll try, but I've got to get my friend out of her apartment by the 30th and she's pretty much useless...

@ElicBxn if you think you might have something like diabetes off the the doctor you go. The sooner you know that sooner you can start taking better care of yourself.

I know what everyone will say and yes I will say it also. Go see a doctor. You don't want to play WebMD. My dad plays WebMD all the time and at age 76, I keep telling him to go see a doctor. What happens, he ignores important signs (he vomits alot) and than panics about other problems. I am not a diabetic nor in the medical community, but I know 3 close friends that are, including my father and my sister-inlaw. My sister-inlaw does shots through out the day to keep the sugar in check. She knows when the sugar is off and will get some shakes and feel queezy.

I do know what diabetes looks like, and I'm really pretty careful about the sugar intake already. I'm actually more concerned about hypoglycemia because I've had that problem off and on for several years.
