Before being diagnosed I was having strong palpitations, even had the ECG monitor overnight.
But what I have noticed on the occasions my bs fasting levels are between 7-8 the palpitations start again, an symptom indication levels are going high, I suppose...does this happen to anyone else?
To be honest when I chased the results about 2-3wks ago they hadn't come back, and haven't wrong back since...my health ctr are pretty rubbish at sending results, but I'd like to think if serious they would of got back to me by now. I'll chase on Monday.Did the 24 hour ECG reveal what was causing the palpitations, such as an irregular heart beat?

Thank you, presume there was no link with your diabetes?Yes, do chase it up. I had a 24 hour ECG in January. I was told it would be about 3 weeks for the report. My GP had the results back within 2 or 3 weeks, rang me to let me know, and printed off a copy for me to collect from reception. There was no need for a face to face appointment.

Also dark chocolate can have that effect.
Thank youNone whatsoever. I was having ectopic heart beats with a raised heart rate but this has been resolved. It was nothing at all to do with diet.
I am but these palpitations were happening prior to diagnose.Are you on a Low Carb diet? Only I have heard many people mention palpitations since they went on a low carb diet.I suffered with palpitations for the first few weeks into my low carb diet. Also dark chocolate can have that effect.
Could perhaps be medication, dont drink, smoke and only have one cup of tea in morning and defo don't have chocolate anymore...sigh (although read in a few places, 98% dark choc might be okay for diabetics)Yes, and also caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Indeed, anything that stimulates. Also certain medications.

Great thanksCheck your medications for side effects. Palpitations, fast heart rate etc. It may say on the information leaflets, although this website is pretty good

One of the known complications due to high bg is damage to the vagus nerve, and this can lead to palpitations, among other symptoms. In my experience, some complications do start at a much lower A1c than acknowledged by health professionals. I have suffered from paroxysmal vagal Atrial Fibrillation for years, symptoms controlled by taking Flecainide. I was always puzzled as to why, no-one could tell me. Now I think that a whole cluster of health problems I had/have which have always been treated as stand-alone are in fact related to my having raised bg over some years. IMO if we can manage to lower our A1c, fasting and post prandial readings and keep them steady we can hope to avoid palpitations, at least in the long term.Before being diagnosed I was having strong palpitations, even had the ECG monitor overnight.
