Typing problems too? ![]()
First, welcome Kari! We're glad to have you join us.
Yes, speech issues are not uncommon when low, particularly severe lows. I've had that happen once or twice when I was down in the 40's.
If this is happening to you well above 80-90, that's something else, and you should see a neurologist about it. One thing I'd add before I get you all riled up though: Are you getting enough sleep?
I have slight slurring issues, and reduced ability to say things that require very rapid, precise mouth movements when I'm chronically under-rested. Like many days in a row with 5-6 hours a night or less.
I used to be able to handle this when I was a yute (cultural reference: My Cousin Vinny, perhaps one of the funniest movies ever made and a tribute to Fred Gwynne), but it's become more and more an issue as I've gotten older. I'm 52 now, and have had diabetes for 15 years.
I don't think it has anything to do with the D. I will say, though, that when I'm chronically short of sleep, I'm more susceptible to the problem when I'm low.
Definitely get this checked out with a physician!
