[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1042920, member: 211504"] It's very possible. Our bodies exhibit certain symptoms to protect us from low blood sugar. Unfortunately, those symptoms seem to be triggered by a sharp decrease in blood sugar levels rather than low levels themselves. That means if your body has gotten used to abnormally high levels and you quickly reduce them down to normal levels it may induce these symptoms. In short, if your body has been used to 15-20 mmol/l levels for several months and you suddenly reduce them down to 7, you could feel pretty bad. Everyone exhibits different symptoms when going through a hypo. For me, the best way to explain it is kind of how I'd imagine a drug addict feels when they're going through withdrawals: cold sweats, need for my "fix" (which in this case is carbohydrates), loss of coordination, feeling jittery, mean, and short-tempered.
