WHY CAN HYPOGLYCEMIA CAUSE VISUAL PROBLEMS AND ACHING MUSCLES?
All of your body’s cells need blood sugar (glucose) for energy and are notable to function to their best ability when there is not sufficient glucose available to them. The retina of the eye can use only blood glucose for energy because it doesn’t have energy storage capabilities. So when the blood glucose is low, visual disturbance occur. Muscles can store some energy in them, but when the muscles don’t have sufficient glucose to do the activity you want them to do they hurt or get achy and crampy.
