please?? Doctors, diabetics? My grandad has been told the past that he may become diabetic, now in recent years doctors have said he is borderline diabetic and now he has been diagnosed diabetic. He is still waiting to see a specialist about his options and treatment. But the past few years he has been having panic like attacks, where he says he gets a 'hot flush feeling' from his feet up, it gets so bad and he becomes so overwhelmed and frightened he has to ring someone or wake my granny at night. At night if he gets them he becomes restless and agitated, he can't sleep and finds himself walking up and down the hall for no reason and he isn't in tune with reality when he's like this he becomes disconnected he can't communicate with others properly, or he may become angry and scared.

Doctors have put him on depression tablets, he has suffered that for years, also he had a heart attack 3 years ago and went through a stint operation so doctors have said it may be panic attacks and he just lived with it as best as he knew. But now that he has diabetes and has had for years without knowing could these attacks be linked somewhat? Is there anything he can do?
