Current Events > Drank for the third time since my health scare. Hands started tingling again

(+) Yeah! (+)

And what's more, the blood vessels in my hands were blue. Meaning my blood isn't getting oxygenated.

The first time I drank after my health scare, I drank low carb cider and red wine. I didn't get the tingling in my hands. The second time, I had three gin, soda and lime cordials. It was a reasonable amount of drinks, and I didn't get tingling in my hands.

This third time, I drank a vodka cruiser, three full-sugar longnecks of bourbon and a beer. My hands began tingling the same way they did when I decided to see a doctor about my drinking, and the blood vessels in my hand turned blue.

Could this mean I'm diabetic? The discerning factor here seems to be my sugar consumption. I had my blood test 22 days ago, and I've drank twice before tonight with no real consequence - after drinking beverages that were light in sugar. The night my hands felt like this, it was after necking a bottle of salted caramel Kahlua, and tonight I had beverages that were sugar-heavy.

I'm gonna call my doctor tomorrow and make an appointment.
