It's probably nerves more then anything.
I hope your results turn out ok.. but don't worry, whatever life throws at you, you can handle it.
shaking is a symptom of diabetes but it isn't necessarily diabetes. try eating something and see if you feel better. something small like a few gram crackers and a glass of milk or a peanut butter sandwich. shaking could be low blood sugar. did they ask you not to eat or drink anything before the test? that could be why.
very funny....olamba
You need to test your blood sugar 3 or more times a day to make sure it falls within the target range you and your health professional set. You use a home glucose monitor to do these tests.
At first, your doctor will want to talk with you daily or at least every few days while finding the treatment that best keeps your blood sugar levels within your target range. When your blood sugar levels are staying within this range, you will continue to see your doctor about every 3 to 4 months. During these checkups, your doctor will look at your treatment to see how well it is controlling your diabetes. If your treatment isn't working very well, your doctor may have you try different things. You will also start having a hemoglobin A1c test to find out what your average blood sugar level was during the 2 to 3 months before your visit. This test checks your long-term blood sugar control.
You also need to have regular tests to check your blood pressure and cholesterol levels; high levels increase your risk of diabetes complications.
you always feel weak and shakey when you give blood. that's normal.
I'd guess it was nervousness, mixed with a little light headedness from giving a blood sample. If you feel shaky like that, a 4 ounce glass of orange juice usually helps.
no you fasted silly you need to eat something to get it to go away!! ;)
