When I first started taking the diabetes meds I had some scary symptoms when my bloodsugar would get low.I was told to keep candy on me at all times as an antidote.So there is a medical basis in what your saying. Is it withdrawl? All I know is now almost 10 months later I can easily tolerate very low bloodsugar levels. I have no craving for sugar.

Another thing they were concerned about in the beginning was depression. There is a statistical correlation between bloodsugar levels and depression. I don't think the biochemical basis is well understood.

I reread your post and am adding coping. Try to keep bloodsugar on an even level. If you let it get too low then you may choose something to overboost it. I was told by the doc that most people find eating 6 times a day helps. It did for me. Kinda weird eating before you get hungry.

It'll get better. It'll take time. It'll be worth it.
