Default 3 types of tremor

I have recently been paying more attention to the comings and goings of my tremors...and I seem to be able to put them into 3 catagories: The first and worst I call "Sugar shakes". They are the most intense and occur when my glucose is higher than it should be usually related to some high GI food, or a glycemic load thats too high. The second type is my stress tremor, when I do everything right, but have to deal with something unpleasant..ie: this morning I had a dental appointment.
The third and most benign of my tremors is my idiopathic PD tremor. a sub-catagory of this would be related to fatigue. Dyskinesia seems to be the wicked step sister of "sugar shakes" and is really nasty if it gets into the "yellow devils" (aka reg sinemet). Anyone else notice any subtle differences in their not so subtle symptoms?
