Hypo's and Depression

I have had iddm for 21 years. I also have been diagnosed with Bipolar.  Sometimes out of the blue I feel so extra sad.  I have noticed that when I do a reading often my levels are low when this happens.  If I get my levels back up a little I often feel  better. I wasnt sure if this was possible or it was something I had just talked myself into.

Low blood sugar can definitely cause down feelings and if you are subject to Depression anyway, it may be more so. I would mention it to your Psychiatrist and/or doctor in case you need a meds adjustment. But in general, if it is always when you are low, if you are having lows frequently you may want to adjust your dosing and eating habits. Though we all know it's hard to completely eliminate lows, you may be able to minimize them.
