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??

Yes...evthing thts not tht great...all the sudden gets magnfied times a thousand. and obviously noone around us is probably a diabetic so tht alone makes it even more fustrating.  sometimes I feel so messed up during a low tht I can't even explain in words what I'm feeling.  so many times I get sad n think of life before diabetes

when your low just think of yourself as being drunk

Happens to me all the time when I reach around 50 and the lower I am the worse it gets.

Ty all for the replys.  huge insight n made me feel tht I'm not alone. I really thought I was the only one tht got like this....every reply was situations very similar to mine.  u all cheered me up! ty!! =)

the best thing you can do is take enough glouse to get your blood sugar for me its five tablet and eat some thing as well ..but dont over do it ...and lay down for 20 minutes ............of course its hard when your driving or giving a talk to your coworkers ..or having an romantic walk ....=) you will be ok ..i had for 40 years of it and it will make you a happy and healthier person in the long run jessica =-)

the worst is a blood sugar that low will jump up after you take glucose very high ...let face it living with some with diabetes is not easy because of this =) dont blame it on the alcohol ! blame it on the diabetes =)

I have those sensors from when I used to have the pump   I cld prob use them while working out.  I hated having a canula on me at all times. I'm one of the few tht likes injections better lol

HA HA Jamie Foxx gets a little "plug" on Tu D. Thanks Charles, for the funny in the early a.m. I have never been alchohol drunk ,...BUT "diabetes drunk" of course.lol. Just have seen animate dust balls that snarl......

God bless,

Lmao!!! 
I've noticed that this can happen, but VERY much more so when my Glucose gets above 180, not low. I would imagine that the body instinctively goes into panic mode when it feels it's in danger...the "Fight or Flight" response, if you will.

My craziest moment ever when low was at 5 am on a Saturday morning. I woke up and could hear my husband doing some laundry...yes, he is a wonderful hubby and helps me tons! But on this morning when I was a crazy low person, it infuriated me for some reason I'll never know and I jumped up out of bed, ran to the laundry room screaming about him "jumping me in line" for the washing machine!! I almost physically took him down to get him away from the washer then sat on the floor crying!

This was several years ago and it makes me laugh now but what a crazy person it makes me feel like. Sometimes I think our dear loved ones suffer just as much as we do.

I am not married , smileandnod, but I truly wish someone would, as the kids at school say,"Ditch the line" for me at laundy time. Did your hubby EVER wash the clothes that early again?..LOL

God bless
