#hypoglycaemia

[blindgamermisadventures]

I am wearing a glucose monitor to test for hypoglycaemia. It’s been a few hours and I’ve already had 2 critical lows with one being 40. Currently my glucose is a bit high, but I’m also on my period and running feeds. It’s when I’m off my feeds that my glucose plummets. This is very interesting data.

Calling fellow diabetics!

I feel like I’m going low. I’m nauseous, a little trembly, fatigued, a minor headache and cold and sweaty at the same time. 

But alas, despite testing about 3 times already my sugars are completely within range. 

To be fair, all day I have been eating like crap (way too many chocolate crackles) and thought that I had over done it on the insulin, but my blood sugars aren’t reflecting that. 

Anyone feel similar or know why I might be feeling like this. Sometimes I mistake anxiety attacks for a low, but that usually feels slightly different. I just want to stop feeling so horrendous because I have guests coming over soon. 

Thanks everyone! xx

Diabetes Connected is a bracelet for people with Type 1 diabetes suffering from sudden hypoglycaemia. Special sensors collect data abut body temperature, heart rate and sweating from user’s wrist. If values start to change towards hypoglycaemic (temperature decreases while pulse and sweating increases), an alarm goes off to inform user about coming danger. In this case, diabetic person should check their sugar level with glucometer and take actions appropriate for their current sugar level. However, if sensor readings continue to move towards hypoglycaemic ten minutes after alarm went off, an emergency SMS gets sent to confidant who can call diabetic person and check if they are alright.
