Personality Changes with High Blood Sugar
Posted on December 3, 2012 at 2:34pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
Hi there-- Does anyone else feel as though only other diabetics understand how awful and different you feel when you have a high blood sugar? I become much more irritable, sensitive, etc. Sometimes I feel as though people think I am making excuses for myself, but I am normally a very happy-go-lucky woman. It's so frustrating.

"oh geeze... yes happens all the time, I get super sensitive when low, panic stricken, anxiety when low and cranky, impatient and just down right miserable when I am high. Likely why I am still single..... lol"
beechbeard commented on Natalie Sullivan's blog post 'Personality Changes with High Blood Sugar'"If I can add a suggestion to Teena's post, be transparent about this with those that are close to you. Sometimes my family recognizes that a problem is developing before I do because I am acting out of my normal curmudgeonly zone.
My father was…"

Teena commented on Natalie Sullivan's blog post 'Personality Changes with High Blood Sugar'"So sorry Natalie....but indeed it can be so frustrating sometimes!
