Symptom 2: Uncontrollable Shaking – When Your Body Starts Trembling
Trembling or shaking is another common symptom of low blood sugar. Your muscles may feel weak, and you may experience shaking in your hands, arms, or even your entire body. This occurs because your body is attempting to release more glucose into the bloodstream to compensate for the lack of energy.
In addition to trembling, you may also experience other physical signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, rapid heartbeat, or a feeling of nervousness. These symptoms can be alarming, but it’s essential to stay calm and focused on addressing the situation. (2)
If you experience uncontrollable shaking, check your blood sugar levels immediately. If they are low, consume a quick source of carbohydrates, such as a glass of fruit juice, a few pieces of hard candy, or a tablespoon of honey. Afterward, monitor your blood sugar levels to ensure they return to a normal range. If shaking persists or worsens, seek medical attention.
