Dropsy

[AlisonM]

I don't mean fluid retention, but dropping things. I keep doing it. I think I've got a good grip on something, but no, oops, there it goes. Especially small stuff like my pills and I end up scrabbling around trying to find the blasted things before the dog who would eat anything.

Is this something to do with the diabetes, or is it just me? Should I mention it to the doctor next visit?

Oh yeah, there's that. I came home the other day, put my gloves in the fridge and took the shopping through to my room.

I know one or two people whose hands shake a lot. Their GPs say it is more to do with age (they are in their 80's) than the diabetes.

I find I am getting even more of a control freak and I am needing more space than ever, but I was always a control freak in need of space!

I seem to drop things more than before i was diabetic.
And as for doing stupid things I just stopped myself in time before I poured lime cordial on my cornflakes the other day!
