So newly diagnosed T1. I've been mostly high the past few weeks since diagnosis and beginning insulin (partly because they don't want to push me into lows while adjusting dose). Started off around 12-25, have slowly worked my way down to 4 - 15, with a lot less occasions up above 12.
Have had a couple mild lows (2.5+), and the symptoms were very obvious to me. Now that I'm spending some of my days in the 4s and 5s, I'm finding that I feel a little bit unwell in a similar way.
Is this just because my body was so used to being high, that 'normal' feels low?
Perhaps I'm just super hungry for sugar?(Haven't stopped eating, have reduced carbs a lot)
It shouldn't be a calibration issue, as I tested along side the hospital meter (same blood/finger prick) while I was in there last week, and readings were always within +/- 0.3
