I’m getting pretty good at estimating my blood sugar levels based on how thick my blood is. If I prick my finger and blood pools immediately in a large drop then my blood sugar is lower than it is if I have to squeeze to get the blood out.
If I prick my finger and blood sprays across the ceiling in an arterial spray then my sugar is way too low. If I have to slice my finger open from tip to end and rub it over a tampon until I get a spot of blood from it, then my blood sugar is way too high.

It’s the opposite for me. My blood flows freely when the BG is higher and less freely when it’s lower. What’s wrong with me?
Nothing wrong with you – despite the disease being the same, everyone suffers and responds slightly differently.
