Hello, Thank you for your query at AskTheDoctor.com I understand your concern. When our sugar levels are slow, there' s some disturbance in the electrolyte balance in our body, that causes various neurological issues like exaggerated movements/ giddiness/ vasovagal episode,e.t.c Why does you sugar levels go so low? Are you on and medication? Feel free to discuss further.
