Possible diabetes?
Okay, so this happens a lot. I will all of the sudden start sweating and feel really aweful and shaky. But if I get something to eat after this happens I feel perfectly fine. What would this be, it happens all the time.

How often does this happen? It sounds a lot like you keep having low blood sugars. Are you doing anything when this happens? Or are you just relaxing or sitting down? I myself have diabetes and know exactly what you're going through. I would get to a doctor asap and ask them to test you for diabetes. Like I said, it sounds just like you keep having low blood sugars, especially if you feel fine right after you eat.

Hypoglycemia would be my guess. My husband has it. It is a type of diabetes. It is when your sugar goes to low or drops to fast. Eating protein every few hours will help keep your sugar level even. You should call our doctor and get tested to help get it under control, it can turn into diabetes if not controlled. You can also end up passing out due to a drop in your sugar so it's best to eat something small with natural sugar or something very small with man made sugar until you can eat a meal

These are symptoms of hypoglycemia, low blood sugar. You can have a blood test done by your doctor that can do an average of what your blood sugar levels are for the past 3 months. Your doctor can than decide if you are diabetic. You may be waiting to eat meals too long.

This is something that happens to a lot of people. You're hypoglycemic at the time when you're experiencing this. You can check with your doctor about having diabetes, but I doubt it. You just need to eat when you first start feeling hunger pangs, not 5 hours later!

Sounds like hypoglycemia, which isn't Diabetes, but it puts you at risk for developing Diabetes type 2 later in life. First of all go to a Doc!! But, to ease symptoms untill then, I would stick to lean protein (not necessarly meat) and lots of veggies, and a couple high fiber fruits like berries. See if you can level it out a bit better. Hope you feel better!
