catman Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) G'day all, an interesting experience last night. I've been a diagnosed diabetic since 2004 and although they are reasonably rare, I do experience 'hypos' (low blood sugar episodes), occasionally and last night was a particularly severe one. It came on over about an hour or so and for a while I felt quite strange indeed....dizzy, and very confused during the worst of it. Interestingly enough shortly before the peak of it I was playing a record and the general sound quality subjectively sounded very poor, and to be honest I could not understand why until somewhat later! Diabetic 'hypos' are possibly an extreme case but it does seem to indicate that mood shifts (for whatever) reason can drastically alter our general perception of sound quality, and by the way my gear sounds quite normal this morning. By the way a slice of bread and honey quickly stabilised my hypo last night once I realised what was happening. All interesting in any case. Regards, Felix. Edited July 8, 2018 by catman Spelling.

McCvinyl Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yet another reason why diabetes sucks! You would have not only changed mental perception but physically your body is under extreme stress so I guess that includes your hearing as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereo coffee Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hi Felix Yes, our bodies react very strangely when blood sugar is too low or too high. Hopefully you are monitoring daily and have suitable treatment, for what is a reasonably common and well known condition. The best scenario with diabetes is to control the ups and downs with diet and physical exercise, but you probably know all of that, already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
