I feel the same as everyone else that posted. Usually I am at my worst in the 250 range. Short temper and as I have been told I have a tone in my voice. My bf usually would notice before I would. Which he would never understand how I could not "know" I had a tone in my voice or was being short. I can handle my diabetes and am not angry in anyway that I have it, but this is one thing about it I could do without. It's nice to see that I am not the only one who has a hard time with it. Thanks for not making me feel so alone.
that was really wonderful to read on

Oh definitely. I feel much better when I'm between the UK's good 4 to 8 range, than any other place on the BG scale. I'm my most moodiest when I'm high - especially when over 10. What's been doubley upsetting for me recently is my highs are being caused by stress... noticeably so late in the afternoon when I'm finishing work, which is starting to encourage low feelings. I keep reminding myself though so I don't slip too far. I am seeking help. :(
I can definitely relate here!!! I feel like my body is very sensitive to many factors in life. Whenever my bg goes high or low, it definitely affects my well being and mood. I feel very sick when high and obviously sick when low. I hear that some people don't notice much when they run high but I can feel it and I get very moody.....then think, "could it be my bg?" Sure enough, most of the time it is. It is quite frustrating to think that we need the insulin to survive but then it interferes so much in our everyday lives!!!
Whenever I'm low, I get shaky, hungry, and moody. By "moody", I mean I get grumpy, meaner, (yes, I addmit it), and I tear up WAY easier. When I'm high, I'm SUPER sleepy, thirsty, and always have to go to the bathroom. Of course now that I'm in the stupid honeymoon period, (yes, it truly is stupid), I'm low ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
