Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

From the symptoms you mentioned, you probably experience a seizure of your blood sugar levels, known as hypoglycemia. You should seek help from an endocrinologist or a diabetes specialist and attend a detailed examination and proper treatment. Insulin can be a hazardous medication to self-select and therefore should only be taken upon a healthcare provider's advice.
