What Are The Symptoms Of Diabetes?
Question: Hi there.
I'm 34 and underweight and have anxiety and panic disorder.
Recently I have noticed that my left hand goes numb when I eat sugar but then it goes away soon after?
It really scares me and I'm very worried I am diabetic . Am I?
I have been to my GP and she says its anxiety.....
thank you

Brief Answer:
Not suggestive of diabetes
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
your symptoms are not suggestive of diabetes. You may please do a fasting blood glucose ( FBG) and HbA1c to look for evidence of diabetes.
Anxiety indeed is a possibility. You may meet your doctor to optimize the anxiety medications. That may help to ease your symptoms.
