HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Your blood sugar level is not likely to be causing the sensation that you are experiencing.
Abnormal sensations may , in some persons , be related to temporary or long term changes in the nervous system.
It may need an emergency visit but you can consider scheduling an appointment for your doctor if it continues or worsens.
I hope this helps
