A diabetic attack is essentially a hypoglycemic attack. It may be a result of the insulin injection, the amount of food consumed, the amount of physical activity or a combination of these factors, but it will be characterized by an abnormally low blood sugar. With it comes a few very obvious symptoms to indicate that an attack, often referred to as a reaction, is happening to the individual.
Cognitive Changes
More often than not, a person suffering a diabetic attack will begin to manifest some peculiar behaviors, often revolving around cognition. This may present itself as confusion, making odd statements or performing unusual movements.
Sweating
Many people who are suffering from a diabetic reaction will also begin to sweat quite profusely. This will usually not be linked to any sort of physical activity.
The Shakes
If you think about times when you've had little to no food, you've probably gotten the shakes. The same will happen with someone who is experiencing a diabetic attack, but it will generally be more pronounced.
Vision Changes
Another common symptom of a diabetic attack is a change in visual perception, usually prompting some blurry, fuzzy or double vision.
Unconsciousness
Though rare, some people will have such a low blood sugar that they may lose consciousness. Sometimes they may even have a seizure.
