I was just beginning to think I'd got my head round this T1 stuff and now I read this thread and think...................oooh, more to think about now
I've only had a few high BG readings and didn't physically feel any different. Mentally I was extremely annoyed with myself for letting it happen.

Anything between 4 and 16 I feel fine. Higher than 16 for extended periods I start to getting grumpy and brain fogged.

If sky high over 25.0 I feel thirsty and lethargic

Hypos for me are worse than hypers much much worse

As others have said, feeling tired. But my skin also seems to get greasy when levels increase.
