Is anxiety a typical symptom of someone who as Type 1 diabetes. Its not real strong anxiety attacks, but it is enough to make life trying. Its not just mental. I can feel my body actually trembling. Its there for a few days and then its gone for a while.I take xanax. Is there a better med or natural cure.

Anxiety is not a directly attributable effect of having Type 1 diabetes. The consequent health & life issues that arise form having the disease can cause stress and anxiety.
Note that XANAX XR is a prescription medicine proven effective in the treatment of patients with panic disorder with or without agoraphobia. It boosts the effects of GABA, a natural chemical in your body that sends messages to your brain that tell it to "calm down." This is powerful medication.
Given the fact that you are also may be on medication for the diabetes, the recommendation would be to try to get off this medication and control your stress through other means.
not a symptom of diabetes. My suggestion is to cut down on your caffine intake. This will amaze you!
Check out "Source Naturals". I am a stickler on taking any kind of drugs.I have been to my dr which says my cholesterol is off the wall so I went to this natural site and found a good cholesterol natural and it has brought my cholesterol dn 12 points in a mths. time. Good Luk.
I don’t believe there is a direct relation. There are shakes from lack of blood sugar, or the shakes from the side effect of the medication. Xanax is a highly addictive drug, and is to be used sparingly hopefully you are not taking it everyday. You may want to speak with your doctor about having you on and anti-depressent, because some of them also help with anxiety issues. Xanax is more of a quick fix medication. I have GAD and I had xanax but I only used them when my anxiety was so out of control I could no longer focus. Good luck and if you question your sugar levels seek a doctor for there opinion!
Don’t get the shakes from an anxiety attack confused with the sugar shakes. A direct answer is no they are not related. However, you can get the shakes confused with one another. Take the time to determine weather you are shaking from anxiety or if you have the sugar shakes and need to eat something. I hope this helps.
This is not typical of diabetes. Get off Xanax, a highly addictive drug.
Here’s a little different take on the subject of diabetes–
There are many things you can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I’ve been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that’s available to diabetics is amazing.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate
If you are serious about learning how to use these herbs and not falling victim to diabetes needlessly, I suggest getting a copy of–
"One Son’s Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313
The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which was first availale in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It’s a life saver, and the best money you’ll ever spend on the subject.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri’s, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don’t get any money from anybody for telling you this–just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.
