Does anyone get Headaches when high?

I get muscle and joint aches when my BG is high, and sometimes a headache (especially if I've eaten something very sugary like pancakes with syrup). Unlike everyone else is saying I usually get mellow and sleepy. I will sometimes have a small snack with no bolus before bed when I want to sleep well.

When I am low I get very paranoid and anxious. I get very hot, then sweaty, shakey and I'll get moody and snap at people. I don't often get low enough that I feel out of control anymore. I can usually gauge that I need to test and eat.

If I have juice for a low, that will give me a headache. I have to have a piece of fruit or some cookies or crackers or I rebound way too far.

Those muscle cramps and joint aches come from your body going toxic and producing tanic acid in the muscles and around the joints. If this becomes bothersome while getting your readings down, you can use white vinegar to massage into the affected areas, this breaks down the tanic acid and removes the knots you feel, works well too.
