Fucking hate it when my infusion site doesn’t take and my basal isn’t delivered for hours. Especially if the timing is around meal time, because I can’t know if I’m rising because of a bad site or because I underestimated my meal’s carbs. My only indicator is a radical angry mood swing that leaves me upset and embarrassed after my blood sugar finally comes down.
It’s been a fucking night.
Interesting how differently High and Low blood sugar affects our moods and emotions. For me a very high level acts like a sedative. I’m relaxed and other than feeling like I am walking through water or gravity is turned way up all is good. If it were not for the peeing and thirst I’d probably get the best sleep ever.
Lows on the other hand I’m jittery and anxious and easily provoked. When the wife start asking me if my sugar is low I means it am being a bit of an asshole. Or my sugar is low ;)
I hope you’re feeling better. I still don’t think to check my BG when I’m suddenly in a crappy mood

@nerb @diabetes I definitely get irritable when low, too. I’m not sure if my anger when high is because I’m high or because *I know* I’m high, lol. I have a feeling it’s both, mostly because I used to run on a really short fuse the last few months before my diagnosis. My temper mellowed drastically once my A1c came down.
But who knows, that might’ve also been diet, exercise, life changes, etc. Hard to tell for sure sometimes. 😅
