Low energy & Short fuse

[E-NICE]

I was just wondering if anyone else has the following problems? 1. somtimes I have no energy regardless of my sugar level. 2. The littlest things will set me off in a complete rage. Just looking for some insight.:confused:

I go through this some as well... my fuse is shortest when my sugar is high.

I hear you. I new at this, but yeah i get that too. I used to have a very long fuse. Not so anymore.
My guess is that there are many different factors all working together here, both physically and psychologically.

I am tired alot, most days i could sleep through the entire day! i have also got very snappy with my partener at times but it may just all because im depressed due to the diabetes

[thomasb]

I get sleepy too. Often feel like going for a nap just after lunch, but if i do i sleep for hours.
Hm, i am just about to move in together with my partner, we havent lived together since i got diagnosed. I am really trying to work thorugh my depression and diabetes issues before that, to try to avoid being snappy. it a good source of motivation.

PMS? You don't have much info in your profile, please excuse me if you're a guy...

Yes I know what you're talking about. I have a very short fuse. I don't know what to tell people at work. I wish there was study on this, so I could email them and tell them don't take it personal. Then I could say see it's not the real me, it's the diabetes.

Truthfully, I've been that way more lately, myself. I don't think it's Diabetes though. I DO think that it's life....

We don't get the time we should with family/friends, etc. The good times seem very short-lived & the work & tougher things seem to go on forever....Then there's the wonderful annoyances along the way - People acting rude, selfish, or stupid, co-workers trying to take credit for something someone else did, bosses being overly demanding and underpaying people for their talents, us having to do the legwork of our da** insurance companies & having to fight for coverage for things that we should be able to get & that would benefit us, etc....The list is long & goes on & on!

Yes, I've had a very short fuse, lately. Not sure why, but like I said, I don't think it's Diabetes related....I think it's just Life.

Have you had your thyroid checked? Before when my sugars were out of control I was short fused as well and then I had better control when I was pregnant and then just had a horrible time with my anger and blowing up over little things. I was checked and discovered I had a hypo thyroid and ever since then I don't get angry very often at all.

[thomasb]

check on that. have a hypo thyroid and have never felt so short fused. My fuse used to be very very long.

[TenderVittleS]

I usually get that way when my blood sugars start to drop, also have your thyroid checked.

[sugarfree76]

I get a short fuse when I'm high (or climbing)

then I know to check teh sugar.

[designdb]

Yes I have a thyroid disease. I take the pills everyday. When I get my A1C done they check my thyroid too and everything is ok. I still get pissed off very easily - It's the diabetes.

There is a supplement called D-Ribose. This has an amazing effect on those who have their BG under control and have no other reason for low energy levels.

D-Ribose is fantastinc for those who have had damage done to their hearts and lack any stamina.

D-Ribose is natural and can work wonders very quick in this particular problem.

It is sad that people do that in our lives. I've had that happen at a place and then they wondered why people there felt "burned out." Nothing hurts worse than being walked on or used by others for any reason.

There are so many things that can contribute to our stress and "shorten our fuses" over time.

I say that scotch sounds good right about now! ;)
