Low Blood Sugar
I do have a question for everyone. When I
experience a low B/S, anywhere from 60 on down the feeling
is extremely awful. I am wondering if anyone else
experiences an awful feeling from low B/S? I would actually
rather be high than have to experience those lows. Being
high, 200 and up I don’t feel any adverse effects at
all.

low blood sugar is very dangerous! make sure you get your meds/insulin
adjusted. when you’re experiencing low blood sugars drink some fruit juice or
eat some candy.

Before I was diagnosed with Type 2, I was
diagnosed as being hypoglycemic. I experienced lows quite
often.<br
each person.<br
lows cause me to feel like I’m drowning on dry land.
My head becomes too heavy to hold up and I become
very pale.<br
starts sweating and begins to shake.

Johanna and I walk every mornig for about 30
minutes. (not enough I know.) When I start to get low I
start to walk much slower then Johanna who tells me
about it and since I always carry sugar I take it right
then. I get the feeling like I could fall asleep on my
feet. Stop answering questions when it goes any
further. The only time I shut up I guess.<br

John- you sound exactly like me when I am getting
low blood sugar. My mind is much slower, my reaction
time to anything is slower and I just don’t care. It
can really sneak up on you can’t it. <br
fortunate that you have Johanna to help you. <br

hey…. most of the time i tihnk my reaction to
low blood sugars is more like cheekired’s… i get
really spacy and carefree, and stop paying attention to
the things going on around me (bad thing to do when
im in school!!). luckily my friends all know how i
act when im going down for the count and remind me to
have a juice box. however, sometimes (lately
especially) i get really edgy and irritable when im going
low. i think its cause my body is sorta panicking
cause it knows whats coming… once i pass a certain
point, its like i cant even express that im in trouble,
and i cant do much for myself either. this happened
when i was on vacation.. my family got really angry
with me cause iw as really snippy but once i had food
in my system and could tell them what was happening,
they felt awful. funny, had the disease for almost 2
years and theres still surprises. i get really
lethargic and tired when my sugar goes high… like i have
to lie down or ill just fall asleep standing up….
maybe sleeping is my bodys only way to deal with the
high levels. hmm… anyone else have similar
reactions?<br

Em,…now you know that when you get slow and sleepy to take sugar right away,
and don’t wait for Pete’s sake.<br

My reactions are definetly like yours. lows are
the time i usually blurt out the things are bugging
me about somebody and i don’t even realize iam
saying out my thoughts loudly. i have gotten angry but i
feel very free. not the best of company i have kicked
and broken the bathroom sink and soap dish and that
was something i always used to wonder if i could kick
that high!!! and with a reading of 27 i did it!! my
husb. faces the worst of it poor baby during my last
pregnancy i used have a lot of low readings.<br
readings just slow me down and i feel dull and depressed.
just fall asleep.

May I recommend that your husband ties you up
during your lows and buys extra insusurance for the
house??? If you don’t know what insusurance means it is
the same as insurance only typed by a low feeling
diabetic.<br
