hi im 17 and have had type 1 for about 12 years now. im fairly athletic and have always done quite alot of sports. Im on levemere as a long acting insulin and novorapid as a fast active one.
My query as such is whether it is known for blood sugar levels to affect cognitive processes directly or indirectly for that matter. I have noticed for some time now that during a hypo i suddenly feel quite depressed and my mood becomes really un-elevated. This used to happen to me very frequently about 2 years or so ago, it is less frequent now but still occurs especially after a hard training session when the intensity was a little harder then i expected it to be. Honestly my HBA1C has never really been good: between 8.0 and 10.0 constantly. Im generally a happy and optimistical guy so im not in constant depression or anything like that its just that iv never come across this before.
- Is this a complication?
- am i to view this as a warning?
- has anybody else had this happen?
- or is this completely unrelated to diabetes?
any help appreciated
