What Causes Shaky Hands With Diabetes?
My husband s hands have started shaking really bad. Sometimes they jerk and whatever is in them will fly out. From what I understand the symptoms are not related to Parkinsons. Do you have any idea what could be causing this? He is also a brittle diabetic and has had diabetes for 49 years.

it might be a diabetic peripheral neuropathy, it is one of the complication of diabetes. weighted cuffs for the wrist might be helpful to manage the hand shaking during activities and you can prevent some accident due to this hand shaking. i also suggest you to consult with your physician and diabetic specialist.
