Any ideas

[shirl]

Having a really strange day, have been feeling really low all day (you know the usual thing shaking, sweaty ect.) but when I've tested my BS levels have been near perfect, 7.2, 6.2, 6.6, just don't understand whats going on. How can I feel low and have gr8 BS levels? Am I being stupid?

You're not being stupid at all Shirl, it's quite possible that the way you are feeling has nothing to do with your diabetes or blood sugar levels, and illness doesn't always show up in the levels either. I sometimes feel as though I ought to be low, but realise (upon seeing my levels are OK!) it is because I feel tired, or something has made me feel nauseous. If the feelings persist it might be worth either a call to NHS Direct or a visit to the doctors. Hope you are feeling better soon 🙂

I'd love to know what the answer to this is as I've had this before as well - not been ill though, just felt really lo. had the shakes, cold sweats, feeling weak. problem was, when I feel lo, my body and mind goes into panic and i HAVE to have food.

hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanx for the reply imtrying,

Diabetes is very puzzling at times even after 5 years I still get caught out by it, I guess it keeps us on our toes tho huh?

Do hope you are ok, take care, Shirl
