Re: Blood Tests "Normal" ?

The clumsiness could be due to low blood sugar (which isn't likely if you have
low insulin), natural clumsiness (I have a good dose of this), or
stress/anxiety/nervousness about other things (as if we don't have a lot going
on in our lives).
Low insulin levels may lead to hyperglycemia, too much sugar. I would talk
to your doctor about this. It might be that your Met dose is too high. I
would definitely lower the dose before supplemental insulin is started.
