Hypoglycaemia??

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi there

I need some answers if anyone can assist please?

My husband has started getting these weird lapses of confusion, lameness, tingling, sweating etc....

These symptoms will come on suddenly and when they do he is a mess - feels like he is dying literally.....confused, cant walk, blurred vision, tingling toes, hands get clammy....he then eats dextrose tablets or sugary water/sugar sweets and within 30 minutes he is 'back in the room', I am convinced its low blood sugar but why???

He eats well, stopped smoking about 5 months ago, quite a big drinker mind you BUT could this be a contributing factor.....he has a Dr appointment but wonder if anyone agrees with me?

The first time this happened he got such a shock he called the Ambulance, they gave him glucose syrup and after an hour he was fine again...he went to A&E to get bloods and a Head MRI and all came back fine (except for the Liver function tests as he is a drinker).....

Very worried about this....

Thanks 😃
