A member asked:

I have type b diabetic, i would like to know if my current medical is sufficient. should i worry about rapid heartbeat (100 per min) out of a sudden?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rapid heart rate: Rapid heart rate, especially when sudden, can be a serious health concern. See your physician to evaluate. Type 1 diabetes has an association with autoimmune thyroid disease, which, in some cases can cause an excess of thyroid hormone and elevated heart rate. All kinds of diabetes are associated with heart disease and electrolyte abnormalities which can also cause rate changes.
