[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1416193, member: 110569"] Hypos can certainly make you emotional. I have certainly cried when my blood sugar was very low, and other times I've felt rather angry. Have you felt other hypo symptoms, before the tears? If not, tell your DSN. You asked if you should see a therapist. If you only cry when hypo, I'd say you shouldn't. Obviously a diagnosis of Type 1 is a shock to both you and your parents and it could take a while to get over that, so give it time. However, if you're crying all of the time, for no particular reason, then you should speak to your DSN about that (it doesn't sound as if that's the case.) When you went running, did you eat extra carbs, to prevent you going hypo? If you did but still went hypo, you obviously need to eat more. You could ask your DSN about lowering your insulin before/after exercise, to prevent these lows, especially if you don't want to eat extra food. As for fasting, I don't know much about it but my personal feeling is that mice are very different from humans and I know I couldn't do it. Certainly I wouldn't fast without informing my diabetes team. Good luck with controlling the hypos! [/QUOTE]
