Can't stand lows. I definitely over treat and over eat when I get one. I eat ravenously!!!!! Feel wiped out the rest of the day!
Well for me, and I've had serious pass out lows, I feel stupid. Goofy. Starving. I'm pretty good about just drinking 6 oz. of juice or 3 of those glucose tabs. 15-20 minutes later and I'm good to go. I REALLY hate highs. Those take forever to correct
I had a low last night and for once didn't overeat... problem is I woke up this morning with a 246!!!
It was 50 when I check it so I had two of those little candy corn pumpkins (about 5 carbs each) and 5 ritz crackers (10 carbs) I made myself wai...
I'm readingl the replies, wow it's not funny, but I have never talked to another diabetic before and everything you guy's are saying, I have lived it. My fingers go numb when I get a low and I also over do it. It starts a yo yo effect. I have had ...
It's got to be an "instinct thing". I go into hyporage as well and eat until the feeling goes away, even though my brain is telling me that the 10 cookies were more than enough. It's just uncontrollable sometimes.
Hi Elizabeth,
I use to be a terrible over-treater overeater. I'd grad anything and everything in the middle of a low, especially those late night ones. And the next day I'd have terrible highs. I broke the cycle when (1) I re-educated myself in t...
Call me crazy, but I hate highs more than lows as I know the damage repeated highs are doing to my body. I was 38 the other day and just ate something to bring me back up. I no longer fear lows like I did before I got a pump. On MDI I had lows tha...
I had the worst low of my diabetes life last Friday night. I wrote a blog about it because it was sooo terrible.
I think lows are one of the hardest parts of being a T1 diabetic. I'm so afraid of them that I always under bolused (because I'd rath...
I HATE LOWS !!! I feel like a panic sets in and I have to eat and I have to eat NOW ! I've learned in the past that I will eat everything in the house if I'm not careful but what I've done is to put some Schwans 50-50 bars aside in the freezer for...
happened to me last night too. was settling into bed and could feel the 'low' went downstairs and I was at 44. I grabbed some mini-tootsie rolls and ate them and should have stopped their but there must be a internal defense mechanism that makes m...
I hate them too! Especially the waiting part... Nightime lows are the worst because you just want to go back to bed but you have to wait and a lot of times the adrenaline rush makes it really hard for me to fall asleep right away :(
I've seen oth...
UUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH Hate lows!!!! I cant walk well, talk, or much less think straight sometimes. I feel like I am going to have a heart attack! I get scared and tend to overtreat as well. Lately I have been really good....juice or regu...
Yowza. I woke up at 2:30 this morning and my BS was 50. I think I ate everything but the kitchen sink. I had been having really bad dreams for awhile and finally woke myself up when I realized what it was. It wiped me out for the entire day.

High blood sugars turn me into a drowsy, lethargic, brain-fog monster.
