This is my son's most obvious symptom when he's low. Especially when he's dropping fast. It gets so bad he can hardly manage to do a finger prick - I have to help him hold his finger still.

Can't speak to the highs, though. He hasn't really had many since about a week after he was discharged from the hospital. (It was two months ago today he was dx.)

I have Type II, and sometimes I swear I am getting low because I start shaking and breathing a little different, but when I check I am in the mid to high 200's. I've never noticed, or Brandon hasn't said anything if he gets the shakes.

Sometimes Emily will come tell me she feels low and when we check she will be over 300. Her symptoms are usually shakiness on the inside. Not visable on the outside.

Kaylie tells me her teeth are chattering. This happens when high, low or dropping really fast.

Sometimes when I am high, (200's) I have incedible NERVOUS ENERGY, a kind of shakiness, like you have to move around. Like all that sugar is making you feel like you are boiling inside. Past the 200's though I end up falling asleep.

Maddison (6) is the same, sometimes I think she is running around feeling great being silly so she must be at a great number. But, then you check and she is in the 300's! ERRRRR! Something happens with Nervous energy I believe. Seems like your nervous system is telling you to move around.

With our son:

Extreme low: very shaky in the hands.

Extreme high: very fidgety and hot on the skin. Last night was a great example, he was tossing and turning all night. Finally at 2:30am he woke up that he was thirsty (big clue), checked bg and it was 303. Thanks to the pump, we pushed a button and got the 3 units into him really quickly and I also gave him a nice glass of cold water. I can tell when the insulin is taking affect....in about 30 minutes he settled down and was snoring! :D

Woke up for school with a BG of 97. Love the pump! Told him last night, on MDI's I would have had to trip down the stairs to the kitchen bleary eyed and set up the insulin pen, bring it up, and sit him up in bed to administer the shot. Would have taken 15 minutes of work; now with the pump took us all of 10 seconds and he was back in dream land!
