When my sugar goes high (300) I feel very lethargic (very lazy), get a bad taste in my month, vision gets blurry, and in general feel crummy. If it goes to 400-500 then I get a little sick to my stomach on top of the others I mentioned.
If it goes low (under 70) I feel shaky because of the adrenalin my body is producing trying to bring my sugar back up. I perspire across my forehead, I can't think straight, and become irritable
When my BG goes up I usually feel tired. When it goes down I get hyper. The transition between normal and high makes me cranky, and lows make me that way too.
I think your anxious/shaky feeling was low blood sugar. People who are predisposed to diabetes usually go through a period of time when they will go low. I went through it. And every time it happened it was triggered by my eating sweets or anything high on the glycemic index. And if I did some physical activity after eating those carbs I was more likely to go low.
What happens is when you eat something sugary your blood sugar goes up fast, and your body releases a little bit too much insulin. So you quit eating the sugar and you're left with the extra insulin, which causes you to go low. If you're running around doing things when this happens, you can go even lower. Makes you feel like you need more sugar too, even after your blood sugar goes back up. It's a really miserable feeling, isn't it?
if your BG is high some symptomes are:
blury vision
extreame thirst
pain in fingers and feet
if your BG is low some symptomes are:
shakeyness
confussion
mood swings.
My sugar levels for type 2 diabetes have always been high. I can not tell a difference when my sugar levels are between 300-450. I am used to it. When my sugars go above 450 I have vision problems and sometimes dizzyness. I have had sugar levels higher than 600. When that happens I get sleepy.
