Is that how that works? I know there are sever complications for those who need insulin, but don't get it. But, I didn't think one of the issues could simply be pain all over.
One of the things I experience when I do not have enough insulin is my muscles do not get the feul ( sugars) they need. when I then go and do stuff my muscles ache and hurt. of course different people experience different things. I always notice low blood sugars and my brain remains mostly functional. my little brother turns into a zombie then has a seizure when he gets sugar.
I once waited for a class to end then walked off in search of food when my legs suddenly failed me. and people asked me what was wrong which I explained while trying to get up while my legs were unresponsive. where my little brother starts walking in a circle and doing repetitive motions while unresponsive like a sleepwalker and needs to be forcefully fed sugar. different bodies different priorities?
I figured out what happened, forgot to inject levimir last night before falling asleep, 26 units of stuff that is supposed to replace my baseline insulin needs, starts working after 3/4 hours and then slowly releases for up to 24 hours. now I have to steer using Novorapid ( imediate release) which is annoying.
@IMAGIRL I do get the standard tired/nausea/thirst/need to pee of high blood sugar I also notice I seem to sneeze a bit.like not normal sneezes. but as I said different people experience different things and all muscles around my lungs and arms and shoulders feeling like they are dying because I "ran the engine without oil" is not indicative of every single diabetics experience.
clarification:compare it to ruining an engine because you drove without oil. I cycled to the store and back, except the oil is insulin to move sugar into the cells for feul and instead of burning the engine every muscle I used for breathing and cycling was hurting because of it.
