when I started with my treatment’s new every day until my body got used to it. know it can happen once a week or even only once a month. but I usally know as soon as I get up if the day will be good or bad.
well when my Bg’s get out of contol i find it hard to talk and when i do people dont seem to understand what i am saying and also if i get to low i just think i am making sence but in fact it is a load of rubbish. It takes me about an hour or sometimes a little bit longer for me to recover from it
Hello Rainbowgoddess,
My high and low blood sugar “side effects” are exactly the same as yours. Does it also make your eyes feel funny sometimes? Brittany
I see spots or flashes when I am low.
I’m feeling a bit frustrated lately b/c low and high feel the same to me pretty much. I’ll go test thinking I’m low but actually I am high. Or vice versa. Or sometimes I think I am low and I am. I feel shaky and trembly and hungry. I do get agitated and cranky when low but not sure if that’s b/c of the being low or b/c I am just freaked out about being low.

First, the lows … I get really tired to start with; then a bit disoriented (or spacey); then I start to sweat like a hog; then I shake so bad I can’t hold anything in my hands. I get cranky and scared and all sorts of feelings even I don’t realize I feel.
On to the highs … A little harder for me to spot. Really tired again; not really able to verbalize things clearly; wanting to sleep; maybe cranky; and I don’t want to be bothered with anything.
Does that help? Everybody’s body feels different in the highs and lows. I would say that any abberational behavior should be followed up with a BG test.

Agitated and cranky (just ask my husband) is indeed one of the symptoms of being low. It’s like I just can’t control myself.
That’s a good point Lois, about testing anytime you aren’t feeling or acting right.
When I go low or high, I feel exhausted, like I’ve been rolled over by one of these cement rollers you see on construction projects. Also feel dizzy, a little nauseous, and “out of it” or “fuzzy” in general. Often comes with a headache too. Usually takes at least a few hours to feel right again.
Lows–I haven’t had any yet.
Highs–Extremely tired, sluggish and very irritable. I seem to get pissed off for no reason. Now when I get like this, my husband will ask me how’s my bs. Doesn’t even cross my mind that my mood is connected to my bs. I’m slowly learning and at least glad that’s my bs level’s to blame for my moods, at least some of the time:)
High - It is bad. Sick to my stomach, tired, grouchy, just plain mean sometimes. Oh and of course i am thirsty running to the bathroom constantly and the inability to see most things clearly. Talk about frustrating. Yuck
Low - It is hard to explain. I used to shake and jerk. Not so much these days. Extreme hunger, sometimes. Absolutely mean absolutely. I think the weirdest stuff is funny. Funny is a reality term. Often times I just sit and stare at the floor. I used to laugh inappropriately. Of course I sweat like an ice tea glass in the dessert, and many several times int he last six months I seem to be concerned about contractions. Wasn’t, weren’t, couldn’t shouldn’t, wont etc etc. Now that is funny because I really do not care one wit about contractions. LOL

Oh! So that is what makes me feel that way… I just thought I was having troubles with my fibromyalgia.
