**i suggest that until the possibility of diabetes is ruled out, ****he must eat small portions of meals every 6 hours or so or else he runs the danger of becoming **Hypoglycemic [low blood sugar level…less than 2.0]…i’m NOT scaring you…i’m just educating you…Good Luck!

Agree. The smaller the interval and the smaller the meal the better it is.

Before we all go crazy over the diabetes.

Although type 1 diabetes is a possibility in your husband. - the itchy skin and cough, pins and needles

However

The cough, low BP, drowsiness, pins and needles and snoring point to a respiratory condition

Could be both!

both need a check up ASAP.

Give us more details ND. anything you can think of.

nope.. he smokes so it smells of cigerattes

[inspiron]

Re: Early symptoms of Diabetes?

Ok how much does he smoke? How long has he been smoking for?

also what do you mean by low BP? do you measure it?

[Mirch]

Re: Early symptoms of Diabetes?

@Nancy_Drew

Yes

this might be due to the fact that he eats only one meal a day ?

Re: Early symptoms of Diabetes?

It seems more of a respiratory sys related thing but it could be diabetes. The best would be to get his blood sugar checked.

Re: Early symptoms of Diabetes?

^ a low pulse and sweating does not mean low blood pressure, but thanks for clearing that up

To me it actually sounds more like a respiratory thing. ND so something to do with the lungs/chest. He is a smoker so he has chances of lung problems.

You do need is sugar checked though too.

Tell us more about his cough?
