T1, also new to diabetes in general. I've only been diagnosed for a few months.

I've been getting the shakes like I'm hypo but my sugars are fine to almost high (100-140). I honestly think it's stress or anxiety related but I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. I'm usually not one to be impacted by stress or anxiety but ever since my diagnosis I've felt like both of those emotions have been turned up to 11.

Thank you community.

I don't know if this applies to you but many people get hypo symptoms or false hypos when their levels are running at normal levels after they've been running high for some time. So it's quite common in new diabetics who have only just started to get their levels back to normal. The symptoms go away after your body is used to normal levels again, and then you just have to worry about them when you actually are hypo.

Hi and welcome! I was diagnosed nearly 3 weeks ago and after running at 20mmol/L for god knows how long, I found that as soon as I got into the normal bracket of 5-7mmol/L I would go lightheaded and shaky. I collapsed on my kitchen floor 2 days in and that was only 4.8mmol/L.

It does get better, I'm already finding that now my levels are mainly in the 5-7 range I'm feeling better and even feel OK if I go down to about 4.8.

If you were running high then it will take time for your body to get used to it. Hang in there it will get better. X
 
Thanks so much, it's odd because I normally run... normal but I get the weird outbreaks where I'm either running high or low but my diet & life habits really do not change.
