Low Blood Sugar Resulting In Right Side Weakness And Slurry Words. Is This Normal?
I was wondering about a low blood sugar I had the other day, after my sugars were in a normal range I was still sluriing my words and right sided weakness. For about one half hour after this. Is this going to be more likely to occur with each low range?
This was my third low time this week when my husband had to pull me out of it.

Hello,
Recurrent hypoglycemia(low sugar) poses the risk of stroke. Your symptoms suggest there is involvement of the brain.
I would advise my patient to undergo MRI of the brain to rule out stroke.
The cause of hypoglycemia as to be identified and treated.
Persistent hypoglycemia(blood sugar below 70 mg/dl) may be life threatening.
Consult your doctor and seek medical as soon as possible.
