MD I have numbness in my lips, tongue and slightly in my hands and feet. I have nausea and weakness. My doctor had me do a 3 hour glucose test and determined I am hypoglycemic. When I feel this way and check my blood sugar it is in a safe range. My problem is I have these symptoms from low 100 s at times, but very bad once in low 90 s and 80 s. It is not dropping below 70. Do I even need to worry about this and do I treat it the same as if it were lower?
