Weak jelly legs

[SarahBrown17904]

i am type 2. If I turn over or move in bed my body feels heavy and weak as if it’s made of jelly. Not every night but quite often. What is this ? Can someone explain.

No idea but do you test your blood glucose levels when you are feeling like this? could you be having a hypo? is this related to your exercise days?

Hi @SarahBrown17904 ,

If you are waking during the night & repositioning in bed when these symptoms manifest? It could be a form of sleep paralysis?

But this is only a guess... https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/sleep-paralysis/#symptoms-of-sleep-paralysis

Have you been doing any strenuous exersise during the previous day?

Thanks for your response I have read the symptoms not quite what I have I feel a real weakness in my legs like I have to drag them when I move as the muscles don’t have any energy in them

Hi again.. Sorry, I'm being a little dunb.

Looking at the diabetes meds you're prescribed. Get the meter out & test when these symptoms occur. & keep some fast acting carbs by the bed..
