Re: Question about feeling bad and BG levels....

[Guest guest]

I get that same feeling. Almost like you have taken a massive dose of

painkillers or something. Like you can't keep your eyes open. I wonder what

that is. Although if I do get up and exercise I do feel a big better but my

sugars can be normal high or low and I get that. I am on insulin.

Your blood sugar is quite high, and this will certainly make you feel bad

from time to time. When it's too high, as your is, it won't really matter

what the numbers are. I'd really suggest you click on the newcomers' link

at the bottom of each message and do some reading. Most of us aim for

numbers around 100 or less, and after meal numbers of 120 or 140 or less

(we're all different, as usual :-). Plus when it goes higher after a meal,

if it's high anyway, you will feel sort of hung over. Your tingly feeling

can be the start of diabetic neuropathy - i.e. your high numbers are getting

in the way of your circulation.

As you start gaining control and your numbers start coming down, you should

start feeling in a few days.

Maevey,

Your poor body! You are feeling better at the higher levels because that is

what you are used to running. 158 is still way too high but is low compared

to what you have been running. As your numbers come down,you are going to

be feeling weird until your body adapts. Once you are running at " normal "

levels, 90's to 115, you will be amazed at how good you really feel. Hang

in there...

Question about feeling bad and BG levels....

Hello group!

Ok. I am really getting confused about the way I start to feel sometimes.

Before I was diagnosed and I would have those episodes where I feel bad I

was

always pretty sure it was prolly related to me possibly being diabetic. In

any event.

Now that I am diabetic and and monitoring myself. when I start feeling

bad.

I check my self. My blood sugar could be a bit high or low. lets say my BG

cold be 183 and I feel this way or could be 215 and I feel this way.. Then

times when my blood sugar is 215 or higher I feel fine. The symptoms I am

having is that groggy, drowsy drugged feeling, headache nausea. My fingers

feel numb/tingly etc. I am feeling this way now. <snipped>

I used to have the same feelings when I was first

diagnosed. Your body is still probably adjusting

to the changes that you've, hopefully, made in

your diet and routine. It feels like you have low

blood sugar but you are still very high. What

changed it for me was getting my blood sugar in

the normal range. By exercising and lowering

carbs, my blood sugar stays between 70 and

110, usually, and my energy has soared. The

first two months of my diagnosis I often felt horrible

and I couldn't make it through the workday without

a nap. Stick with it, Maevey, before you know it

you'll be feeling fine.

Has anyone else had this experience? Have you found that somedays you

just feel bad no matter what your blood sugar seems to be and how it

changes?

Non diabetics have days when they just feel " crappy " too.

It takes some time staying consistent at one level before one really starts

to feel good most of the time.

this same thing has happened to me a few times, and i know someone who says

he feels very similar when too low and too high, so he checks every time

before having something to eat.

in my case, finger tingling and numbness in the mouth is always because of

low sugar, but a kind of anxiety and a kind of feeling hot and uneasy

happens to me both when high (in the 180-200 range) or low but not too low

(60s) i mean, when i'm really low, i'm pretty sure i'm low (40s or 50s).

it does have to do with what you're used to be in. if you get used to be in

the 100s, 150 can already feel high. I had a time when i was using too much

insulin and was in the low ranges all the time, and sometimes i felt pretty

good even in the 40s. not recommended of course...

that's my experience.
