[QUOTE="Just_Me_Rachel, post: 1416600, member: 383513"] Hi, and welcome to the world of diabetes. I laughed when i read that you know to check because "oh I'm crying again". I have that usually with high blood sugar's and my thoughts turn suicidal. I've learnt to test, correct and wait till my sugar's go back to normal. When I'm with a low blood sugar my body craves food, i hate the feeling because i also tend to overeat and then go high. Sometimes I'll compensate with insulin, although it's a tight juggle of exactly how much insulin is just right. When my sugar's are dropping, I'll often feel it at a 5 too. I'll often eat to catch the low, depending on the bigger picture (when my last bolus was, when I'll be eating again) It may help you to read up on the effects of exercise. Not only can it make you go lower during the exercise, but it can have effects hours after too. For some, exercise can raise sugar's too, I've never experienced that. One last point. Whilst you don't need to see a therapist for low blood sugar symptoms, you may want to see someone to discuss how they make you feel. Diabetes is a game changer, and for me at least, super hard to learn to accept and deal with. It may be too soon now, but i suggest keeping it in mind. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
