Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Care

I am writing a research paper and I am having a hard time with some of my searches ( I think my wording is wrong) I am actually writing about 5 hour energy but just general info will work. Can anyone maybe tell me how to find info on the effects that energy drinks and caffeine have on someone with diabetes? Even your personal testimonies will work. Thank you

Im a nursing student and im sort of confused. My teacher gave us a paper titled “HYPOglycemic drugs Indicated for Type 2 diabetes”
One of the drugs listed is Glucophage.
For glucophage it says it decrease glucose production in the liver, but wouldn’t you want that if you were a HYPERglycemic and not Hypoglycemic?

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and started taking metformin last week, but my sugar numbers have not come down. I haven’t eaten anything off the recommended diet. Does it take days to work?

Since I was young, I’ve had sensitive blood sugar. About once a month I’ll suddenly become very hungry, with horrible headaches and dizziness, and have to stop everything and eat and drink slowly until I can sit up again. This is just my norm. I can’t skip a meal without getting very sick. (Throwing up, shakiness, fatigue) Do you show symptoms of type 1 diabetes suddenly or gradually? I’ve had some minor health problems for a few months, and I feel like something is wrong.

I know on my dads side of the family diabetes is prevalent. For the past couple of months I’ve been extremely stressed due to work, my long term relationship with my boyfriend, finances, and family issues. I’ve noticed that I’ve been really irritated, tired, increased appetite (but I haven’t gained any weight), urinating frequently, and can not stop drinking fluids. I know when my father was diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago he was going through depression due to the death of my grandfather.
