Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cjburny" data-source="post: 1010049" data-attributes="member: 231724">The feeling rough at around the 5-6 level is normal for someone diagnosed recently in my opinion, I've been Type 1 for just under 3weeks and I can vouch on that part.I was walking around with my bloods in the thirties with severe ketoacidosis, when I was rushed off to the intensive care ward and hooked up to an insulin pump having my blood sugars drop to a normal non diabetic level, it honestly felt like I was going to die, it's different for everyone, some people just adjust straight away or in time.Like Torqpenderloin said your body is bricking it because a blood sugar level in the thirties like you said is considered normal to you and your system.When I drop into the 4.5 mark I can feel it, before that if I fell to about 7.5 it felt like a hypo was coming on and then naturally anything under 15.0 before that set me off.If I remember correctly they call them fake hypos, which is where your body just isn't used to the level of or lack their of high sugar levels, naturally though always check if hypo symptoms do start as it may very well be an actual hypo...At the end it all just takes time and patience, naturally what I will say is try not to stay in that high level area, co ordinate with your nurse and ask around here for some great tips and info, the sooner you get those levels down the better, honestly I've never felt better in my life since I got mine in check The best place to ask for info is from the people who've lived with it most of their lives.The only reason I'm as confident as I am about my T1 is because these guys and gals from the forum and beyond have helped me through it, answering my questions in lengthy replies and sending me links and generally being supportive.Good luck buddy [emoji4]</blockquote>
