Hi everyone would like to know does anyone think my 84 year old mother could be diabetic because around the same time in the evening she gets very clamy and goes pale and my sisters gives her something sweet and she feels ok then but at her age now she would not eat very much. Is it usual that this could happen same time every evening.

Hello @Bridie9408

At this time of life it would be incredibly difficult for anyone bar a GP to know what's going on, if you have doubts then get your GP to check her over, it may be totally unrelated and may well be just a simple dip in glucose levels which even non diabetics get but best to get some assurance.
