Shaking, Low on Sugar?

[Helen1985]

Hey everyone,
Well i has this happen a while ago but recently its happining again, I seem to get the terrible shakes! even when im not really anxious, it lasts about 30 mins and makes me feel tense and weak like i havnt got enough sugar or something. I hate it as afterwards i feel a bit dizzy and strange! Last night really scared me as i had them at 2.30am then afterwards dreamt that i was having some kind of fit and couldnt speak or move it was awful and now im wondering if it did achually happen!! Im having a diabetes test monday as my dad has this and my mum has thyroid probs so being tested for that too! Anyone get anything similar? Of course im thinking the worst that its a terrible illness etc! xxxx

I get low blood sugar a lot and I always have suffered from it. When I am anxious it is far worse. The trick is to try and eat slow release foods like banana or oats (flapjack is yummy!) regularly to stop it getting too low. For me it is also much worse at the wrong time of the month as well.
