You have to think that the hypo take all the energy out of you and you are fighting it to get your sugar back up, so i understand the feeling of needing to sleep. the problems with your legs could be caused by medication that you might be on and a hypo may make the symptoms worse. I know that some diabetics get itchy legs, it has happened to me where you cannot seem to settle. There is a chance it could be nerve damage if your diabetes is all over the place and ask in your doctor if he thinks that it could be related, if he says no then you have lost nothing. If you are not all ready on a insulin pump ask about getting one as the pump should enable you to have better control of your BS. when i first got diabetes i was classed as a brittle diabetic which means it was hard to control my sugar levels and i think you might be too, If you are on medication read the leaflet that you get to see if it has any information about unsteady legs. If you take a few different tablets they could be causing your legs to shake. The only other thing is are you drinking enough fluid as this causes problems and get your blood pressure checked as if it is low you feel like your legs are a dead weight and this could also make you feel tired. Good luck and if they cannot find out why it is happening do not stop fighting and ask for different tests to be done until they find the cause of the problem as sometimes you have to be stubborn and keep pushing the doctors as it is you who are living with it and not them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
