Hello,
Brittle diabetes is a form of diabetes which is hard to control.
There will be extreme swing in the blood sugar values. Sometimes hypoglycemia and other time hyperglycemia.
It is associated with problems of delayed gastric emptying and malabsorption of insulin.
Stress and depression is also present.
Learn relaxation techniques and lead a stress free life.
