Hey guys...has anyone (probably females) gotten emotional on a low.  my dr recently changed my insulin to bring me tighter control n I'm adjusting to being a lot lower.  I have had a few lows (around 45 - 50) and I get emotional???? like I cld cry or feel very upset.   yes having a low is both of those things...but I have nvr gotten this emotional. then when I get up to 90 -100 it subsides. just wondering why I get like this.  does anyone else??

I'm uaually a nice person. But when I start going low.......I'm not! LOL!

When any of us are truly low OUTSMARTING us is exactly like outsmarting a three year old in the middle of a wicked temper tantrum.

You just have to be sneaky, but firm ; )

============================================

"...Come on babe... this juice tastes weird to me, finish it for me, tell me what you think of the flavor... it's new..."

"... you drink ALL of that before I do and I'll (you fill in the blank; cook your favorite breakfast in bed, take you to that dopey movie you wanted to see, wear those sexy Pj's... whatever is required to get "compliance")... on your mark, get set, GOOOO... "

All kinds of ways to play this game...

That's wierd. I don't think about that stuff at all when I'm stoned on insulin. I have the munchies. I think the thing for the "helpers" to do is to get the food with carbs out and don't talk about it. Talking makes those echoey things and gets the trains of quasithought going. I have the munchies though and if something is put in front of me, I'll probably eat it. If you talk about how I need to eat it, it's probably even odds that I'll throw it at you and make a big mess.

i had a low today in the grocery store n i get this "haze" where i dont have the stop button on eating. i grabbed a big bag of sour patch kids n ate them all in about a min n a half. and in that time..not once did i think..hmmmmm im prob now taking too much sugar...i cld not control it. very odd. if im very low n someone is trying to hand me food or oj to help me n is kinda pushy (but ofcourse in a concerned way) i wanna kill them lol i def agree completly w ur reply acidrock23!

Hello Acidrock23:

(Imagining a GIANT pile of river rocks hanging out, over our heads... LOL)

Ok, that kind of low, if you or I ain't "playing nice", resistant, defiant, weepy, dopey whatever the case might be. How do you trick you/I to take something... what do you do to convince them, if they "resist"...?

i see "red" sometimes when im low...i pray my worst enemy will walk threw the door so i can unload lol!

My behavior when low varies. Sometimes I do get weepy and frustrated. Other times, I get tipsy and sort of giggly. Sometimes I get really angry, but that doesn't happen too often. Other times, I get an intense desire to just go to sleep, and this one scares me the most because my spouse has had to practically force juice down my throat during these episodes. I've noticed the "sleepy" lows are more likely to occur after intensive exercise and the weepy/frustrated ones are more likely to happen on the weekends. I have no idea why.

i have definatly gotten drunk like symptoms. its quite a buzz, then mood swings follow..but not all the time....i get completly EXHAUSTED after a low..but not during, im so shakey n anxious during a low

hmmm i get angry and upset when having low sugar...

Paranoia = it happened to me last night

I agree completely....the idea of wearing an external device 24/7 is just not appealing to me in the least.
