[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2349262, member: 365308"] Goes both ways! Best way to get me snappy and arguementative is for my husband to ask if I am a) low b) pre menstrual. He is sometimes correct too but only sometimes. If you feel snappy etc. it could be physiological but could also be a sign of emotional stress (guilt at being high which in type 1 is considered to be your fault for eating the wrong thing or not dosing correctly) which can easily turn to anger or depression. Physiologically you are not getting enough energy into your cells as it is mainly floating around your blood stream which can make you feel 'hangry' but also unwell. Hypo is a clear example of not getting enough glucose to your brain and the snappiness is a symptom of this rather like a toddler before teatime having a tantrum. Hypos are more acute than hypers but in both cases you're not firing on all cylinders. Btw you should not feel guilty about high blood sugars; if you don't have a fully functioning pancreas it is very very hard to control the variables that produce normal sugars in non type 1 diabetics and I wish more consultants etc. would acknowledge that!
