Episode 9: Highs, Lows, and Total WTF Moments – Real Talk on Blood Sugar Swings
Description
Episode Description:
Blood sugar swings can feel like emotional whiplash. One minute you’re shaking and sweating through a low, the next you’re rage-walking your way out of a high, and somehow you’re still expected to function like a normal human.
In this episode of Sick of Pricks, we’re having a real, unfiltered conversation about what it’s like to live through the rollercoaster of highs and lows with type 2 diabetes. We’re covering:
- What low blood sugar really feels like (and why it makes you want to eat the entire kitchen)
- Why high blood sugar hits so hard, physically and emotionally
- Tips for treating, recovering, and preventing crashes-without shame or perfection
- What to do (and NOT do) when you’re over 250 mg/dL
- How to stop judging yourself for your numbers and start showing yourself some damn grace
This isn’t just about correcting the number. It’s about protecting your energy, your peace, and your confidence.
Because your blood sugar isn’t a grade. It’s a signal. And you’re allowed to respond with care, not criticism.
