NPH and tremors?

Anyone else on NPH have hand tremors (like when BG is low, only ALL
the time)? Just wondering- my son has had these tremors for years,
and we can’t exactly remeber whether they started before or after the
diabetes. The docs always blow me off and say it’s from his asthma
meds, but he has them even when he isn’t taking his asthma meds. An
IM doc from Iran that I work with suggested it could be the NPH.
Anyway, this is another thing I’m going to address at my son’s
physical, and if I don’t get any answers, I guess I’ll have to call
my neurologist and ask her for help.
Thanks!
Melissa

    Melissa,

    I was on NPH for over 20 years and never had a problem like that. Used both the human & the beef/pork combo origin. I’ve never heard of it causing tremors either. Wish I could help more. Good luck with the docs-don’t let them ignore it. I hope it is a simple answer & you can get them stopped.

    God bless,

    Stacy
