[QUOTE="alaska, post: 362185, member: 14213"] [b]Lows[/b] Simple things become more difficult -walking upstairs or doing simple tasks feels unusually like a chore Explaining more complicated things is a struggle Feeling of mild anxiety -like something's bothering me Inability to concentrate so well Hunger -sometimes bite at the inside of my lips or cheeks My lips go paler (nothing to do with biting at them) [i]If I get lower I may notice:[/i] Difficulty thinking -being asked questions above basic ones results in "I don't know" May become frustrated with tasks becoming morte difficult than usual to carry out Less inhibitions so more likely to show emotions -laughing, anger and saying what I'm thinking More pronounced hunger Tears form in my eyes and I can get a slightly runny nose -usually in combination with yawning [i]If I get very low (thankfully rare):[/i] Pronounced difficulty talking -slurring or completely drying up Blurring of vision -noticeable in difficulty in reading books or computer screens Sudden feeling of extreme panic -which means it's time to grab glucose tablets as quickly as possible before a fit comes on [b]Highs[/b] Feeling mild hunger -feeling the need to bite at inside of lips or cheeks (often happens before I hit 7 mmol/l) More easily distracted than normal Finding it difficult to break out of what I'm doing -harder than usual to start a new task Yawning [i]If I get higher -above 9 mmol/l:[/i] Feel like having a drink shortly after the previous one More likely to feel irritated Slightly drier eyes than normal -usually only if I've been high for a number of hours Ed [/QUOTE]
