My boyfriend always jokes "you can’t fool me! you might SAY you are just in a bad mood but I KNOW your BG is low!"
if I ever am particularly feisty, my friends will grab my CGM monitor just to check my “mood”
(of course I gave them permission!)
Normal BGs I’m pretty laid back and relaxed and on target.
Low and I’m just plain real quiet and dopey (my wife can tell lows by the look in my eyes, which she can’t explain the “look” to me).
Highs and I’m ready to argue and debate.
When my blood sugar is low is when I become either very quiet (I normally talk a lot) or when I am with my mom or someone I am very close with I can become witchy with a B haha or just mean, I also could probably cry at the drop of a hat. When I am high I don’t think my emotions are that crazy, I just get tired and sick feeling. I think because everyones bodies are so different your body might just take the high sugars and get you emotional and angry. Just make sure people around you know this is what is happening! At work if I become very quiet I will have lots of the nurses around me asking… have you tested your blood sugar lately?! haha when I was first diagnosed I hated for other people to know now I love letting people know its fun to teach everyone about diabetes!
I definitly have mood changes with highs and lows. When my bg is high I tend to become irritated and angry. I become such a witch that no one really wants to be around me, which is not fun, since when we are at our worst times is when we most need support. when I am low I tend act drunk, stumbling and laughing at random things.
definite fluctuations here. Either high (over 200) or low (around 60) I am also very witchy.
Unfortunately, that’s part of diabetes!! It sucks I know!
When I am high I hate being around myself and tend to avoid others as not to bring them down. When I’m low I find I can’t communicate properly as my brain is slower and elsewhere. I act drunk when my BGL is high and if I am being over the top my friends will ask if I’m high…
Don’t take it personally, everybody gets that!
