Last night I had a blood glucose reading of 5.2 and I was very dizzy and shaky. I’m wondering if this is normal as I know if it’s 4 or under it’s a hypo, but is it normal to shake and feel dizzy at 5.2mmol?
Is this normal?

Do you normally have good hypo awareness? Or have you been running high for a while? Could you have had something on your hands? Sometimes I feel hypo when I'm not, but BG meters do have a bit of a delay so you may have been hypo but the timing of your test says you weren't.
I go high and low constantly probably due to stress and my other illnesses so sometimes I can be really high and other times I can go extremely low. Last time I had a bad hypo I didn’t feel shaky until it got to 3.1

Hi,
Having hypo like symptoms at 5.2 can possibly be the "new normal" if you had been running high for a while & had become tolerant to it?
Though, it goes without saying prolonged high BGs won't do any favours.
