Hi,

First of all, diabetes causes our body to loss important vitamins such as: vitamin B complex, besides uncontrolled blood sugar can cause a direct nerve damage, resulting in tremors and loss of balance.

So, he should regulate blood sugar and take some vitamin: Vitamin B complex twice per day after meals and one ampule vitamin B 12 every week can help with his case. Some anti-depressant drug such as: Fluoxetine 20 mg can cause tremors. The routine check of blood pressure is mandatory for him.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mustafa, Neurologist
