atmospheric pressure and false hypos

It's been weird weather round here the last couple of days and I've had several occasions when I've felt hypo symptoms, checked my blood and I'm not hypo. Sometimes when that happens it is a clue that I'm about to drop low, but nope, haven't done that either.
I was round my mum's at the weekend and was just about to check my blood coz I felt hypo, and as I grabbed the meter she said 'I'm glad you are doing that because I was just thinking you looked hypo'. (Apparently my nose and ear 'looked hypo' - ! since I was feeling the same thing myself she must be onto something). Checked, and bg was fine.

This seems to happen to me when the weather is really heavy (pre-thunderstorm) and/or fluctuating (eg just before a rainstorm). Today it's breezy and fine and I have no problems whatsoever with false symptoms.

Anyone else experienced this? Or should I run off and join the circus (or the Met office)? Snodger And Her Amazing Weather Predicting Nose.
 
You obviously have a nose for the weather Snodger whatever that is :D
 
Can't say I have Snodger but interesting reading just the same! :)

Will study this. I have a hypo predicting nose too but I never studied if it's linked to weather sometimes rather than low levels, will have to bear it in mind.
My nose goes cold (even in real hot weather) and starts running when my levels are getting low, it was doing it this morning but I never tested, just had a snack....will be more vigilant in future!!

Hi Snodger, yes this happens to me too! Thought I was the only one lol. I don't deal well with muggy weather and it does give me hypo-like symptoms, the last few days I've been checking because I think I'm low and my bs turns out to be completely normal. Very strange as you say...mine's not related to my nose though!! :) xx
 
aha! I knew there'd be some others out there with the same thing... I have to say I laughed a lot when my mum said "your nose looks hypo". I didn't know it was possible to have a hypo nose. Mine didn't feel cold or runny, it was purely something external that my mum could see and I didn't know about. Really interesting though: I wonder what the biology behind it is?
