No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Diabetes? #NotADoctor
Also not a doctor but glucometers can be cheap, not that scary, and answer exactly this question.
~~As far as I'm aware, diabetes will lead to hyperglycemia, not hypo. Taking insulin for diabetes in excess of what's needed or not eating enough while on insulin will lead to hypoglycemia.~~
It appears this information is incorrect.
Hi type 1 diabetic here, yeah the other person pretty much said it all, but yeah blood sugar go can both hypo and hyper as diabetics basically have no means for regulating blood sugar. For me my blood sugar tends to run high either cus of my anxiety of going low or miscounting carbs (thank god for my sensor that automatically gives insulin). However if I’m feeling stressed or I’m working for 3 hours without a snack my blood sugar drops
Bonus fact: insulin acts like a key for the glucose in the blood to get to cells, so without insulin glucose accumulates in the blood, but it also helps your blood sugar from going low. Treatment should happen at 80, low is considered 60 or 70 and below, while high starts at 180 to 200. At around 500 or 600 most meters will stop reading specific numbers and just want you to get insulin in your body
Thanks, that's good to know. I've been experiencing this too and I know T1 diabetes runs in the family, but I ruled it out because I thought it wasn't a symptom of diabetes. I should check with a doctor.
