Can Reduction In Insulin Dosage Cause Palpitations And Breathlessness?

My heartbeats have high to whole day. I have heavy breathing as well. My blood digs rid high as I ve had to portion out my insulin because of losing my insurance. What is the heart thing. Is it related to the diabetes? I ve never experienced it before. I don t do drugs. Just beer and a shot once in a while

Hi,
Heavy heart beats are generally due to low sugar. As you don't have it, you need to rule out any cardiac arrythmia. An EKG would identify whether you have it or not. this is because diabetics are prone for cardiac diseases.
especially as you say you have it all the time, i would recommend to visit a primary physician for identifying your problem
All the best.
