Members connected over the confusing experience of feeling shaky when blood sugar levels appear normal, with many sharing that this happens to them regularly and can be triggered by stress, frustration, or fluctuating glucose levels. Several members offered practical strategies their doctors recommended, including carrying glucose tablets or small snacks like cheese, staying well-hydrated to reduce false low symptoms, and keeping blood sugar stable through consistent diet and exercise. A recurring theme was the unsettling nature of these phantom lows, especially when members have been diligent with their medication and meal plans, with reassurance that staying positive and patient with the process is essential.

Can stress also cause that? I've been under some emotional stress with my moms health so I was just wondering. Hoping it wasn't anything to worry about
