      How much do you think your blood glucose levels impact your overall mood? (For example, being more likely to cry or feel sad when low, feeling irritable when glucose levels are high, etc.)
      When I am low I feel anxious, partly due to the adrenaline response and partly due to the jarring sound of the alert.

      Very hard question to answer precisely. For the most part, i.e. most of the time, not at all. However, there is a very, very big “but.” And that is at a certain low level (60? 50?) where that irascible personality trait irritability kicks in. It’s not pleasant and neither am I. 🥶

      We need to have replicating living Beta cells reintroduced into our bodies ... science hasn't some up with the solution yet ... but they are working on it. In the meantime, I am grateful for the science that identified insulin as an important life sustaining hormone 100 years ago, and for the science of making various the synthetic and recombinant insulin formulas that have kept so many of us alive for the past 100 + years ... The drug companies don't make all that much money off of us ... it's the greed of PBMs in the health insurance industry that set high prices to suck up the profits.

      I resent even having T1 diabetes and having to deal with it, and I think they could find a cure for it, but big pharma makes too much $$ off of us to be really try to find a cure.

      Good point! Sometimes hard to tell if the blood sugar levels physiologically causing mood changes or just the stress and burden of trying to manage T1D non-stop. Both valid. I was having a persistent high the other day and thought with frustration how I'd been doing this for 27 years and still sometimes suck at it. With T1D, practice does not make perfect. It's endless guessing and troubleshooting.

      Exceptionally well worded. In junior high algebra, teachers used to admonish us, “Don’t try to solve 3 unknown variables with 2 equations.” Welcome to T1D [expletive deleted] where the variables vary considerably and the constants are only constant when they wanna be. 🤺

      Yesterday was a day when it took FOREVER to get my supper high down. 274. Totally frustrating!!! I had changed to a new set that am too which should have had the "low" effect going on for me. I am terrified of lows and when I get below 80 I just want to withdraw from everything and everybody until my control returns. Didn't have that problem before getting the CGM. The alarms and arrows cause some anxiety at times.

      It really depends on multiple other factors. How long has it been high or I can't figure out why. Also, it depends on if I've had multiple lows in a short period of time.

      It used th be worse in the days of NPH and Regular insulin. I would get depressed around 2:30pm every day.

      Lows have a definite impact. After 68 years playing this game, I now need to rely on what the CGM tells me because I can't tell anymore. If something I've read/heard brings tears, I now know to check my bg. My CGM alerts are on vibrate because they annoy me, scare our cat and create a nuisance when I'm in public . Highs, on the other hand, are very frustrating. If possible, an injection of 1.5 - 2 u by syringe usually brings me into range faster than the pump.

      Cheryl, please don't give up on a cure! I work with scientists, some who have spent decades and some their entire careers trying to cure this disease. There are good people working on it.

      I'd be interested to find out the difference in answers here between highs and lows. I would have said very much or moderately for lows for sure. They affect me with actual physical changes. Feeling floaty/tipsy, tingles in my hands and a tendency to snap more easily if someone asks me a question that I take the wrong way. Highs (which itself should be quantified - for me from a physical standpoint, I'd consider anything over 200 a high). These don't affect me physically, so I might have said not at all. But those occasional steady highs of 160 that won't go down - especially if I'm not eating anything to cause them - will make me anxious and grumpy. But that's an emotional response vs. physical to this annoying disease that sometimes doesn't follow the same set of rules from day to day. No food, but I'm having a bad day at work? T1 decides to make it even more challenging by spiking my blood sugar and keeping it up no matter what I try to do. Often I end up doing too much insulin to compensate, (especially if it creeps up even higher an hour after I've done the correction). And then I've done too much and I'm rollercoastering for the rest of the day and feeling like a failure for not being able to manage the disease...which of course the docs all claim is easy peasey based on carbs and nothing else. So physical effect of a high, not really - emotional effect, yes. especially if it's a puzzler.

      My only reaction is feeling very irritable when I'm going low. Otherwise I have no other emotional changes when high or low.

      I don't think there is a physical connection of low BG to mood, etc for me. It is psychological. I don't feel good about myself or my management.

      I am highly sensitive to my blood sugar levels so like you I know my sugar is going low before my CGM alerts me because I get anxious about anything and everything or I can’t read.

      Amen to that! I find myself irritated when my BG won’t come down after an hour, so I do the same thing, with the same result, You’d think after 60 years of this, I;d be more ‘adult’ in my management, but not so. Still beating up on myself when bugs aren’t in range. Xx many variables. Sometimes I just want to cash in my chips…..

      In addition to TCOYD, ADA, T1Dex, and JDRF (by far the largest donation recipient from me), I also donate to DiaTribe, Life for a Child (which supports children w T1D in developing countries by not just donating medication but also supports the infrastructure needed to care for them), many of whom would otherwise die, and Insulin for Life. No child should die from not having insulin to treat T1D, nearly 100 years after the discovery if insulin..:/

      In addition to several of the .orgs listed I support Diabetes Sisters with a monthly tithe and with Amazon Smile purchases. I choose to make small reasonable and affordable donations to causes I support. Each contribution goes a long way to amplify the power of the greater good.
