Hi
When i woke up this morning, my blood sugar was 5.9, i had a boiled egg with slice of wholemeal toast, my blood sugar went up to 6
I have this foul headache that won't go away and i feel all shaky, had tea tonight at 5.30pm had chicken breast with fresh squezzed lemon and some veg,
Blood sugar is now 7.7
but i can't get rid of the bad head and sick feeling, and i feel really tired!
as i write this i am shaking, i feel on edge weird feeling can't explain it really.
 
Hi
What have your previous readings been? Sometimes you get hypo symptoms when your blood sugars are usually higher and you're body is still adjusting.
Hope you feel better

Hi Sandy,
You could be coming down with a virus, I had a similar experience recently took me over three weeks to get over it.

Hi Sandy

It could be any number of things, but if your worried to ask about it on here then you really should go and get your self checked out, if only for peace of mind.

If your bs are normally high, then you can have what i call a pretend hypo, if they come down even though your not in the true hypo numbers.

You could be coming down with somthing, but please get yourself checked out

My blood sugars are usually 7 to 11,
I have made a appointment with the gp for this afternoon! As i felt real rough!
Woke up this morning and blood sugars are 6.8!
I still feel rough!
 
Hi Jude,
The doctor was in agreemant with the diabetes nurse, beacuse my blood sugars had been so high,
i was suffereing a hypo yesterday even though my blood did not fall below 5!
The gp said because my sugars had been very high my brain sent my body into a state of hypo!
The gp said take notice next time, and have a little square or two of choclate!

Glad you got it sorted. I read a great book by Gretchen someone and she said imagine you see a kid going down a slide towards a pile of broken glass...you wouldn't wait til they were sitting in the glass to go and help you would start running while they were at the top. Well your body is the same...your BS levels start to come down and your body doesn't wait til it is too low it starts to panic on the way.
Nice reason to eat a bit of chocolate though :D
 
Hi samcogle,
went out shopping today, in the heat etc, forgot to have lunch, got home and my blood sugars were 4.8.
Ouch i was all shaky and utter confusion, i had a hot cross bun, bloody hell blood sugar shot up to 10.4, I suppose 1 hot cross bun as a treat!
it worked, must make sure that when i go out tomorrow i must remeber to eat something! I must admit it is not a good feeling! I notice when the blood sugar has dropped not before!
when i came back my fiancee made me sit down and take a rest as i was really done in! I was ratty as well! Well irritable! Not good! But the hot cross bun sorted that!
Must remeber i can't do what i used to be able to do, go shopping in the hot weather and do lots of jumping in and out of a car etc! not good! as i forgot to drink as well, by whitch time i now have a sore throat!
I am only 33 nearly 34, everything has changed these last few weeks! For me! having to learn from new about everything i can and can't do!

Woops that is low. I have heard that one of the 'side-effects' of low BS is irritability. It's weird the changes we have to make but I am sure that we will get used to them. We have a communal table in our staff room and people put biscuits and sweets on it. I used to walk past and help myself, without even thinking. I still do it and then realise I can't eat the stuff. Our table is full of turkish delight at the moment from a colleague who has just come back from Turkey....it looks so nice too :(
 
Hi samcogle,
Oh turkish delight, oh yes please oh droul or what!
It felt so weird i heard myself getting irritable oh that is not me! I am so happy go lucky usually!
I never have crossed words with anyone!
I know that my blood sugar going low twice this week! Oh but today scared me to hell!
I had to give my beloved job when my eyesight went to pot! I was a mental health nurse worked in the community alot of the time! I feel so unwell when my blood sugars drop!
Oh i can almost taste that turkish delight! Not had since christmas i usually treat myself to a little box at christmas! That is my treat for the whole year! Oh no can't have that this year! It is the natural lemon and rose one? oh that is so nice!
Better stop now because now i want turkish delight!
