So hello. I just wanted to share something weird
my day stared off normal and fine, I met my friend to go bowling. When we go there. My ankles started getting stiff which usually happens after sitting on a bus for a while. We were early so decided to walk around the shopping centre however when I go their my ankle just gave way to point I tripped over and I tried getting up Again the same thing happens when I got up again I was able to sit down on a bench, (my friend isn’t very aware of diabeties as he struggles to understand due to aspergers) a bystander was trying to ask, I just couldn’t speak at the time and my blood was 1.6 I always recognise low blood sugar but I didn’t this time. After eating the usuall amount of sweets I was fine within 20 mins. The thing I don’t get is why didn’t I recognise it till my ankles gave way and why does low blood sugar cause my ankles to give way? (Or was it a mixture of things as I had only just gone back to my volunteering at animal park weds and Friday, volunteering with horses Tuesday for a few weeks and before I go the bus I cycled 20 min) (at first I thought when I got the stiffness I might it just pulled a muscle or something from cycling or volunteering). Or is your ankle being unstable a last warning sign before you end up unconscious as my blood was very low then 1.6 (most of the time before when I was below 2 I usally struggle to keep food down however I didn’t have this problem this time)
is the ankle being unstable related or is it not? And why did I not get any symptoms before hand as normally with low sugar I get shaky/pale/sweaty/headache (especially around 3.0 but this time I didn’t. I did get stung by a wasp yesterday so Mabye my body was dealing with healing that Etc.) I’m just confused why this happened as it never has before
