4. Symptoms: Palpitations and Tremor

A fast heartbeat (palpitations) is due to high levels of epinephrine triggered by falling blood glucose. Shaking or tremors and anxiety can also develop. For those with long-standing diabetes, these symptoms may also be absent, which can lead to a delay in recognition of the issue and delay treatment.
