No I can't say I do, has this just started or have you had this weakness for a while? if you've not seen your gp or diabetes consultant about it I would book an appointment.

I experience this from to time, usually when I am tired. Possibly it is not just a diabetic thing and rather a normal human thing

Not sure if it's the same thing but I had a weakness that made opening packets that have to be pulled apart at the top. An (I thought) unrelated incident showed a disc in my back had slipped. I had no pain. Had the disc popped back in and the weakness stopped.

Ignorance, laziness.
As a guy who lifts weights quite often I notice I have this hours after a hypo, its like a hypo lowers my strength and energy for the rest of the day.

Can you put your hands together and your fingers touch together is if you are praying . if not then you may have diabetic hand syndrome . I have an appt with a hand specialist in few weeks for my hands . do you have bent fingers and can't straighten them ?

Someone in another thread mentioned clumsy hands. That's how mine feel. Much colder than they used to be too, but they are a bit better since eating more fat and b12 supplement.
