My friends blood sugar levels dropped to 31. Now he has jaw pain, can hardly open his mouth. He is talking fine not slurring words.
I would strongly recommend that your friend see a doctor urgently.
There are many, many causes of jaw-pain - some of which can be very serious. Go to www.wrongdiagnosis.com for a list of possible causes - but do not "self diagnose".
Metformin makes my lower jaw ache to the point I have to take otc pain meds. Now that I'm on Byetta and low dose glipizide I just have moments of jaw pain, but at least not constant pain.
I haven't been able to find much on the web about it.
