Common diabetic symptom, or something worse?
My dad is diabetic. I believe only type II, diet based. He is taking pills to regulate his blood sugar, though he’s said there has been no change with that. He is home alone at the moment, and he has been feeling extremely tired and light headed for the past day. The tester wasn’t giving any readings, so I will be buying new (non-expired) strips soon to test him on it.
He also is recovering from eye surgery that he had under a week ago.
I understand the best thing would to be see a doctor. However, that is not an option just yet unless it is an extreme emergency. My question is, is being extremely weak, and light headed a common symptom of diabetes, or could it be something worse? If so, what?
I need your help, thanks so much,
Niki
