Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2024 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="plantae" data-source="post: 2586625" data-attributes="member: 565464">[USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve either now. It occurred to me when I overcompensated the other night that I was feeling different even before checking the libre or contour (but not high enough to set off an alarm because I was still in the "acceptable" range my DN has given me. But thinking about it now perhaps I was feeling different mostly because I was not hypo anymore. The initial goal was a list of things to look out for if going high, because I couldn't find a lot of information when I searched, in case my alarms were not working, but: a) I don't treat highs anyway because I'm on fixed insulin doses (although I can call my DN 24/7 and she'd probably authorise it if necessary, or tell me to go to hospital); and b) as you say they generally don't cause hospitalisation (except in the circumstances you describe).Maybe I'll just let the subject drop and let the thread go idle. That said, I've learned at least one thing (sleepiness) since it started but paradoxically, perhaps, I get agitated not sleepy. Although I do remember being fatigued all the time before my diagnosis. I think there's some useful and interesting things that people have brought up though.The downside is that the list, as [USER=527103]@In Response[/USER] mentioned, is starting to look like a list of untreated diabetes symptoms and there's lots of info about that... Edit 2: then again, I'm new and learning and want to know as much as I can. So maybe that's the purpose of the thread.Edit 2: My next in-person DN is on Monday. I've got a written list of questions so I don't go through my usual "go blank" and nod routine</blockquote>
