Message: <blockquote data-quote="chloetaylored" data-source="post: 2587616" data-attributes="member: 201252">Hi type1 here of over 17 years My high blood sugar experiences seem to be extreme thirst… body is trying to flush all the surplus sugar in the body with no let up as since we don’t have the insulin to convert the blood glucose to energy there’s no where for the bulk to go and naturally we also need background insulin to keep our blood glucose stable at this point so the body’s flushing effects tend to just slow how quickly our sugars are rising in the blood stream without the correct amount of insulin.My other symptoms are tiredness, a sort of weird pear drop/sugar puff  smell on breath and urine … I also get laboured breathing if I’m extremely high as body won’t have correct levels of energy to perform basic tasks.you will be tired as the body is no longer making energy without the correct amount of insulin on board, imagine insulin is the key to allowing glucose to enter the cells of our body where it’s then used in each individual cell  as energy to do they’re various functions.. few mentions that you didn’t bring up also include symptoms of brain fog, confusion, blurred vision, dry mouth, lack of concentration and co-ordination</blockquote>
