Do you feel hungary when you have high sugar?

Agree that it feels horrible to feel high: poisoned, sluggish and sometimes nauseous but mainly very tired and needing to pee then drink more coffee etc. until I realise what's happening. ....Feeling craving for sweet stuff can hit me which makes sense when your body cannot access glucose.

I am built upside down then. In a way you are lucky to have an inbuilt glucometer and are hyper aware, Hopefully you are also hypoaware too.

I am T2D, and for about a year I was running with sugar levels above what my meter can read, and it was screaming KETONES at me but I had no ketone strips so could not test. My GP had withdrawn my bgl meter the year before and fobade me from testing myself. so when HbA1c time came around at the end of the yearly cycle, I got over a score over 100 and an instant invite to see the nurse about going onto insulin therapy immediately.

I didn't, and took a trip down low carb lane instead, and me and my GP are very happy now. But the reason I am posting here is that all the time my sugars were bouncing around the 20's and 30's I felt very fit, was not drinking like it was going out of fashion, and not visiting the loo excessively. I slept all night without mishap or trips to de loo. I felt fine and normal. Thankfully it turns out that I am hypo aware which is a godsend.

PS for USA folk, multiply my readings here by 18.

It can also be a result of fluctuating blood glucose levels.
Sudden spikes and drops will cause your brain to demand more, especially carbs.

Is 165 high. What is that in UK numbers?

When i have high blood sugar i feel very different in mouth. I feel kind of thirsty and very full, nauseous kind of full.
I don't go very high, i reach high till 155 or 165. Even then until i don't fall back to 90's i keep on feeling nauseous and not wanting to eat. Its kind of internal meter i can tell if my blood sugars are within 100's or not.
Do others also know when your sugar are high and fell back within 100's?
High readings give me sick feeling.

My problem is that I don’t feel any side effects no matter how high my BG is
But I can pretty well predict how high it is from experience.
Never been over 11 or below 5,

= 9.1mmol/l (divide it by 18)

An easy way to calculate the difference between UK numbers and US (or European) is to multiply UK numbers by 18, or divide US/European numbers by 18. So your 165 is 9.2 (hooray for a calculator!)

You can just google a blood glucose converter online and bookmark it. Pull it up whenever you need to and use.

When My bs is high I don’t feel any different.
