Hello,

I had a rubbish day with my levels today. I was lowish before lunch (4.7) so had my soup, yoghurt and 2 x Burgen bread and I jabbed a couple of units of Novorapid. An hour later I was up at 8.5 and feeling funny. I jabbed 2 more as a correction and 30 mins later I was at 10 - with fuzzy eyesight. It then dropped to 8.2 after another half an hour.

I suspect that the first jab may have failed (scarred injection site perhaps), but the symptoms I felt at a reading of 10 were pretty difficult (blurred eyes, very sleepy). I've had readings of 18+ in the past and felt better than this.

It's as if my tolerance to high readings has fallen as I'm getting my levels down. Is that possible?

I think there's some logic in that. I find that I get I feel the symptoms of high and low sugar levels at not so high and low levels that I used to.

Before, when my control was pretty haywire, I wouldn't know where my levels were regardless of whether they were very high or sometimes very low.

Since I got my control back for a number of years, my body's been much better at giving warning signs just as I'm beginning to creep high or low. I regard this as a positive sign as it allows me to catch highs and lows with my meter at an early stage.
