Diabetologist Dr. Pratap VGM's  Response
DEAR SIR/MADAM

SOME TIMES FAST HEART BEATS IS CAUSED BY SUDDEN SPURT OF IONOTROPIC HARMONES SUCH AS ADRENALINE AND NOR ADRENALINE.

I DONT THINK IT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE SOLELY DUE TO AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY.

INVESTIGATE FURTHER FOR INCREASED IONOTROPIC HORMONES CAUSE.

STRICT SUGAR CONTROL WITH AVOIDANCE OF HYPOGLYCEMIA.

THANKS
