I'm writing this on behalf of my mother who is in her 80's and has been a T2 diabetic for 40 years or so. Just recently she's really started to have big problems with symptoms similar to Hypo's even though her sugar reading is never below 10 on her testing machine. When she has an attack, she becomes weak, shaky, confused, and faint and her arms are lifeless. She is under the doctor, but they can't seem to get the treatment right. She was on Metformin and Gliclizide, but they took her off both because she's not eating as well as she used to. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, her appetite has decreased significantly, and eating at the moment is a bit of a trial. She can eat soup and bananas and the odd sweet, treat but anything major is difficult. To help with this she's now on Citalopram and Metformin has been re-introduced. This ongoing problemm (now 6 months ish) has meant numerous calls to the doctor, 111 and 999. When she goes to the hospital, during one of these attacks, they do the usual tests and send her home. If she rings 111 they advise her to eat a spoonful of jam, and usually after a period of time the symtoms go away. Being diabetic myself, I too have similar symptoms to these 'lows' but with me it's only rarely and if my sugar is around 4. With my mum, it's more a case if she hasn't eaten for a couple of hours, although her sugar reading is never below 10! This problem is really getting her down now and we were wondering if anyone here had a similar problem, or could offer a diagnosis, as the medical fraternity seem to be struggling!
