Good readings but feel weird

[aaronjunited]

When I manage to keep my sugars down in the 4-8 bracket were they should be, I feel really weird. Light headiness and sickish, my senses are en-heightened as well.

Anyone know why this may be?

Thanks.

HI and Welcome,
This could be because your sugars may have run high for a while, you haven't mentioned what your readings where before, are type1 or type2

Yea I have been finding it hard to keep them low, there always in the mid teens, I'm type 1, and the readings were around 17 before i brought them down.

Agree with Tracey, sounds like your body has got used to functioning with levels up into the teens. So when you get down into normal levels your body reacts as if it is Hypoing, hence the feeling of being light headed ,sick, and heightened senses..all hypo symptoms.

I will get used to it though won't I?

Yes, as you gradually reduce BG levels down ,and hopefully maintain them at a good level. Your body will readjust and will get used to running at within range level...so it won't feel weird anymore..and you will get hypo symptoms only when you are hypo...hopefully!
Good luck at reducing your BG from running in the teens most of the time...not good for you in the long term.So hope things improve

Thanks, Yea I've been struggling with keeping them low, mainly due to not being able to keep that sweet tooth away.
