On Friday I had a 2 hour hypo. Started around 6am and didn't hear pump alarm until 7.30 (which is a separate issue). I spent the day being completely out of it and sleeping, but the main issue is my legs. The uncontrollable shaking/tremor which I get after a severe hypo. It only occurs when I stand up, when sat down my legs hurt and feel weak but they do not shake. It is now Sunday, and my legs are still shaking, probably worse then they were originally, I was actually sent home from work today because I could hardly stand/walk.I was sent to the hospital by my doctor on Friday night, and they found I had a slight temp and glands were up but nothing significant. This leg shaking first occurred when I was 14, and I have been hospitalised many times since with this issue, sometimes the shaking has been know to last weeks. I have had many tests but no one can come up with anything apart from that its my body's reaction to the hypo, but I struggle to see how it can still be having such an effect on me nearly 72 hours later.As a bit of background info, I also have asthma, ME (which obviously makes things worse), and I had glandular fever in may. I have been type 1 diabetic for 9 years, and it has never been very well controlled. As much as I try, I can never seem to get it right for very long. I am very fed up, and worried as I don't know what is wrong with me. I only started my current job 3 1/2 weeks ago, so I'm really frustrated that my diabetes has currently got this hold on my life and I have had to have days off sick because of it. As I say, anything can be of help to me right now.Many thanks, Chloe</blockquote>
