And could it cause paralysis ? Iv had numerous blood tests and a MRI scan of my brain and lower back and nothing was found iv also had a emg nerve conduction test on my legs and this didn't show Anything :/ I'm really scared !!!

If it only happens when you have low sugars, theres the cause. People have very different feelings when low. How low were they? Glad you've seen gp and had necessary tests done as its not a usual low sugar symptom.
Re: Help needed 23 years old worried About lower limb paraly
My sugars were 2.2 so very low but the strange thing is I dont feel hypos as well as I used to and not sure why as I don't have a excess of highs but I do have alot of stress and anxiety which I have heard lowers feelings in hypos my recent a1c was 5.4 so my control is good
Re: Help needed 23 years old worried About lower limb paraly
5.4 is a very good number as long as there not made up of highs and lows to give a false average. How many of these low readings do u get and what meds, insulin are you on?
