confusion, foggy headed or just not feeling quite right symptoms

Hey everybody:) just throwing this one out there. Does anyone get confused, really foggy headed or just feel off with out being low. Lately I have gotten these symtoms and the first thing I do is check my BG but I have never been low, typically I'm around 200 while feeling "off". I always know who and where I am but just can't focus and process information very well, sometimes forget what I'm doing. It sometimes gets to the point of calling my girlfriend and having her pick me up from work. I ran it by my endo and he didn't have an answer for me. Tomorrow I am seeing a primary care Dr about it. Any info would help thanks

I feel very out of it when my BG is over 200. Just cant concentrate or process information. And like you I'm always sure I'm low but am usually high when this happens.
Went to the Dr and she really didn't know right off hand but ordered more blood work to check a few things so I will know if something is out of wack in about a week
I get similar feelings, like I"m low even though I'm not when my blood sugar is changing rapidly. A fast drop from 200 makes me feel like I"m at 60 even though I know i"m not. Have you tried stalking your numbers for an hour or two while you're feeling that way and see if you're just changing rapidly?
I have a Dexcom so I see what my bg is doing and it wasn't changing
Ah yes, Statins. Very good point! And any other medications.
I sometimes feel "low" if I drop suddenly from a high blood sugar to something closer to normal. I was told that any time your blood sugar drops significantly (i.e., more than 50 points in a short period of time) you can get that low feeling even though you're not low. Is it possible that when you check and you're 200, you were even higher before that?
I have been feeling the exact same way. If you find anything out, let me know!
You might have a concussion man
