Have £10 to spare? Go into your local chemist and buy a blood sugar monitor. It'll tell you in seconds whether or not you do.

You could get your doctor to check for you, too, but that'll take a few days.

Blurry vision is actually quite common for a panic attack. Plus, I often have a need of sugar once I had anxiety, simply because my body wants some quick energy. (not healthy though, best to stay away from it when you can).
Also diabetes often comes with a number of other symptoms, including:

* dizziness
* Blood pressure problems
* Skin rashes
* Terrible mood swings and high irritability
* feeling extremely thirsty
* unexplained weight loss
* slow healing wounds
* urinating a lot more than usual.

Once you've read these symptoms, be sure not to project them on yourself and look at it objectively. (It is something that I tend to do so I know the danger). However, if you are worried about diabetes, why not go in for a test and put your mind at rest? You could also try Jessed03 suggestion and get a blood sugar monitor.
