Stroke like symptoms after hypo resolved

Interesting you said bells palsy. One side of my face dropped slightly a few years ago. The stroke nurse said well, I can see why you are here. The Neurologist commented on it and said I must have had bells palsy at some point

Do you see the light now?
Not a stroke?
I've recovered very well from my last attack 24yrs ago. They say it can come back. It's attack on the facial nerves. Are you doing facial exercises now you've recovered from its attack?
Maybe hypos making you feel weaker, on top?
Try and find a more comfortable management of sugars as it will give you your confidence back. Ask dn for support, maybe?
 
Neurologist never told me about any exercises. It was a few years later when I saw him after stroke like symptoms. I had always thought it was something to do with rheumy condition as mouth can change. I did not think it was a stroke, apart from when diabetic nurse told me the 1st one was. It scared me when symptoms would not go away. I do run my blood sugars higher than DCC studies advise as I have had diabetes for 40 years and have always had lots of hypos with sudden large drops. I get little or no symptom. I have been running them high at the moment as scared of it happening again. I do need to get them under control again, particularly as my insulin will likely be changed in the near future as I am on bovine insulin. I have tried numerous insulins over the years and always end up going back on bovine. I first started losing hypo symptoms in 90's after changing to humulin insulin and having 1-3 hypos a day for a year. Limited contact with diabetic nurses in those days. I don't have much contact now as I used to work at the same place as my diabetic nurse and did not like the way she used to talk about patients.
