How do you feel emotionally and physically when your glucose is higher than your normal? or lower?
I'm asking since I hit a new low and had an emotional sadness hit me. As my glucose rose over the past hour, the sadness is not nearly as strong. I know there is muscle memory, but glucose memory? Anybody else experience something like this?

When my levels are low, mostly I feel fatigued. Not necessarily hungry, in fact food doesn't appeal to me.
When they're high, I'm fatigued, confused, frustrated, short-tempered and crave the very things I should be avoiding, and don't even think about when my levels are normal. Whether that craving is just frustration and a WTH attitude, or a physical reaction--I'm not sure. Maybe both.
Like having oatmeal for breakfast and realizing how many blinkin' carbs it has. AAAAACK

Low blood glucose; blurred vision and lack of mental focus.0

Low blood sugar = huge wave of nausea and light head and sweating.
Happens at 4 or when it drops below.0 -

Now you see Jane, I was like that the other day at 4.8. I know, technically that's not a low, but I think my 'normal' is a little higher.
I didn't see the doctor today because of all the snow, I just don't drive in that stuff.0 -
low blood sugar -- I feel very dizzy and that I am going to pass out and know I need sugar to feel normal -- cognition is really off then0

I have hypoglycemic unawareness so I usually don't notice anything until mine dips into the 40-50 range. At that point my mouth or lips feel numb if I even notice. If it dips below 40 then things get weird. People sound like the adults from Peanuts, I can't think, I get really loopy. A lot of people have told me that I appear drunk.
I don't really notice when my BG gets really high. When I ended up in the hospital for my heart attack (at 38!) my BG was around 500 I think? I was on meds too. lol0 -

That sounds so scarey! I hope you never get like that when you're alone. I've heard about hypoglycemia appearing like you're drunk.
I sure hope you're doing better.0
