Yes ! Your Symptoms can be due to reduced Blood Glucose and this reduced Blood Glucose can be because of your treatment
The Most Common Cause of Reduced Blood Glucose (Called Hypoglycaemia) in those undergoing Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes is Incorrect or Wrong Dosages.
In your case too, based on what you have narrated, this is likely to the the cause
Hence, I request that you consult a diabetologist and modify your prescription so that you do not get reduced blood glucose
You have to evaluate your symptoms further only if they persist after your Blood Sugar is under adequate control
