For highs, I usually get the “cotton mouth” and have to go to the bathroom a lot.
For lows, I get verrrry hungry, lose concentration, and if I’m really low, feel a numbness or tingling on my mouth/tongue.
Both make me very tired. Both also drive me crazy!!!
The best way to keep on top of them is to test a lot.
We test every 3 hours per the endo. Jude usually sleeps right through it. Me, on the other hand, I feel like I haven’t slept in months! But, whatever it takes to keep my little buddy healthy!
I have noticed Jude getting super hungry when he is low. I haven’t noticed the breath thing since he was diagnosed. There wasn’t anything friuty about it. My poor baby had thrush and the worst diaper rash I had ever seen. I think that his vision might have been blurry or something, too, because he kept rubbing his eyes.
“I hate the world” lol I have to agree with that one In fact I have a few people in my life who will say “God! Is your sugar high or something???” when I start acting like a jerk And feeling hungry when your sugar is high is like such a cruel side effect isn’t it?
When I’m high, I get a headache in the back of the eyes. Strange I know but its the only way I can describe it.
Generally I don’t feel when I’m going low, but sometimes I’ll get an odd feeling in my legs orr my eyes will begin to ache.
When I"m low, I start to babble and don’t really know what I’m saying. I also get very flush, you can see me turn red from it. I generally start symptoms around 70, but if I ignore them at all they go away as I drop lower. My heart also thuds more, it’s not a faster heart rate, but i just feel it a lot more. My hands also decrease in sensation and I find myself making fists and shaking my hands to try and wake them up. I also don’t focus my eyes on anything, I just kind of stare off to the side
For a high, to me it feels like a panic attack, I get very fidgety and anxious and i cry, a lot. I get a mild headache and i get very very cranky from highs. My sugar tends towards low more then high, so I feel high by the time I reach 180-200.
