What Causes Tremors In The Hands While Suffering From Diabetes?
Hello, I am seeking advice for my husband. He is 67 years old, and has type 2 diabetes. Lately he has been experiencing shaking or tremors in his hands. Also, when he lays down to go to sleep at night, he tells me his hand falls asleep on the side he is laying on. When he turns over to lay on the other side, the same thing happens.

Hello,
Make sure that your blood sugar is normal as low blood sugar might cause tremors. If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated to rule out possible causes like Parkinson’s and essential tremor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
