Hello, I neeed some advice about my blood sugar levels, everytime my sugars drop to around 5.5 or even right down to a 5.0 I start to have symptoms of hypos, i start shaking, unable to verbally communicate clearly or even think clearly, ive never felt so disorientated or confused and the first time it happened my body went in to complete emotional shock, tears, anger, full blown panic, and that was my first time being hypo, unfortunately it meant taking out those emotions out on objects around me basically and becoming very argumentative.
Everywhere im readin it says 5.0 or 5.5 is normal but i cant take it. I'm completely normal around 6.8. or even happy at 8.0
Yet people keep telling me those are still high.
GP has told me that I have to adjust to the lower levels but 5.5 is literally the limit, anymore less and i will start having full hypos, even now as we speak im shaking with my sugars in so called optimum range.
Also are the mood swings permanent? I've had depression before and have bipolar symptoms just about with lifes ups and downs as you can get, but this is just now getting ridiculous to the point of needing to go to CBT sessions.
