Recovering from post-high blood sugar drowsiness
Anyone have any tips on this?
Feels like any time I get to 250+ I just get drowsy for the rest of the day even when my blood gets back to normal.

- Water
- Electrolytes.
- (For me this works) go out and move around. Doesn’t have to be insane but just go out and move.

Good call on the movement, I can try that next time

If you can rehydrate and get some sugar-free (of course) electrolytes and maybe even take a quick (<30m) nap, it can help
That said, it isn't foolproof. I know a handful of T1s that properly recover this way, lucky others don't have a lingering drowsy effect after highs so don't need it
Get better soon!
Yeah I gotta stock up on some powerade or something for those one-offs. Naps work amazing but I'm never in the mood for them. Thank you!
