Hi all.

It was 3 p.m. I had forgotten to eat lunch. I was lying on the bed, on the phone with my friend and we were chatting and I noticed my feet and bottom legs were on fire and some of my arms too.

I then remembered, I did not eat lunch. I immediately got off the phone, checked my sugar and it was 52. Made myself a tuna nicoise salad.

Felt much better.

Now here's my question. I know that when a person has low blood sugar (for whatever reason, the legs get shaky, the stomach gets shaky, the vision starts to blur....I don't get this as a rule but I watch my sugar all the time. Once in a while, when I forget to eat lunch, my vision gets screwed up, but then in five minutes, once I eat, I'm fine.

Did the burning that occured right before I checked my blood sugar, well, did that have anything to do with the reading of 52?? Or was this neuropathy because I was laying on my back talking on the phone.

This rarely happens if I'm walking. Just when I'm laying down. I know what happens when you lay down and you burn because I read it all the time on this forum. But I just want to know if low blood sugar can cause burning too. Oh, by the way, it's a very very hot day. We have no air conditioning and it's like 92 outside. Could that affect burning too??

Thanks to anyone who knows the answer.
