Just curious

[Kaylz]

What signs do others get when they are sitting slightly high? and I don't mean just high high if you get what I mean, for instance I know when I'm even slightly above 8 due to getting tingling feelings in the lower legs! x

 

[Sprogladite]

I get that too, also my heart tends to gallop off at about 8000 miles an hour lol. It's usually my first sign something is up xxxx

 

[Ljc]

Mine starts off with tiredness and feeling really yuk in the mid 9s.

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Overwhelming tiredness.

 

[miguel81]

My eyesight is affected, flashing images and then image retention.

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Yes my eyesight is affected too, also when I am hypo 🙄

 

[miguel81]

Yes, high and low my eyesight is the first indication that something is not quite right.

 

[Ljc]

Higher up I get the blurry sight, weeing for England , can't keep my eyes open and anger.

I don't tend to feel anything until I'm in the teens. Then I get tired and irritable usually but my first symptoms of high BGs is always a headache

 

[Grannylorraine]

tingling in the legs, fast heart rate, very tired and lacking energy, and often an intense hunger.

No but STEFF has lol

I also get angry at anything above 8, hypo signs are vision, jelly legs, shaking and if I'm doing something at the time being argumentative with it and having to get it done first (usually its that I'm unable to open the coffee canister) xx

Lol at getting argumentative over opening the coffee canister! When I feel hypo I usually shout out "for ****s sake, what now", unless I'm at work where I have to repress the urge to swear 🙄

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

After swearing I usually feel a bit tearful.

I feel fine on the way to the kitchen and its the easiest coffee canister (glass with a metal lid so not like its a tight hold) cant get the lid off and in my head I'm saying right I'm hypo but also its saying you need to get the lid off the jar! haha, goodness knows how low I'd get if it was a douwe egberts jar ya know the ones with the really tight hold! lol x

When a little high I get tired. When higher I feel sick. Really sick.

Hypos I get the shakes but I don't get the anger others get. I becomes very compliant. So if you told me to just carry on working and don't make a fuss (like one manager did when I worked at a cinema), I'll just keep on working until I collapse.

I also find the symptoms don't start at any particular number. It's the speed at which I got there. If I'm not careful, and my sugars very slowly go up or down, I won't feel it for ages. I've been known to go into the late teens or even below three and not feel itv but another time I can feel awful and then test and I'm only at 4 or 9.

If my bgls go upwards - say heading for high 9's or 10, I tend to feel tired sickly dizzy and can't walk in a straight line without bouncing off the door frames or walls - it's at this point I take myself off to bed to lie down - and drink loads of water. I don't know what else I should do but to listen to my body - and watch the intake of carbs.
