Is it possible to have symptoms of both? I took 5 Risperdal once (because I'm an idiot) and was rushed to the E.R. because I started feeling extremely dizzy and couldn't breathe. When I got to the hospital I didn't feel too bad, but then I urinated for nearly 10 minutes straight and all of a sudden the I.V. in my arm felt like the worst pain that I've ever experienced and I started feeling restless and whatnot, and had similiar feelings as when I had had low blood sugar symptoms in the past. I've had problems with blurry vision as well, which usually gets worse when I eat something with sugar in it and I've been getting rashes all over my body. I've also had a "tingling" sensation that I've heard could be a symptom of blood sugar too. So.....I'm stumped.
The problem with your symptoms here is that they are exactly backwards for a typical diabetic. You said "
I'll eat something and my blood sugar will get real high and stay pretty high for an hour or two, and then go down (but not to hypo levels) and I'll start having to urinate constantly." but the frequent urination is usually present when blood sugar levels are very high for an extended period of time (days or weeks!). Diabetics tend to feel dehydrated when their blood sugar levels are high which causes them to drink a lot of fluids and as a result they urinate a lot. This is the body trying to flush the excess sugar out of the system. When your sugar levels are low your body wouldn't be pushing urination. That would reduce the amount of sugar in your body.
You also said "
I've had problems with blurry vision as well, which usually gets worse when I eat something with sugar in it..." and again, this is backwards. Normally, diabetics that get blurry vision do so when their blood sugar levels drop very low which wouldn't be happening after you've eaten something with a lot of sugar in it. If you eat something with lots of sugar in it your blood sugar levels would be going up - not down.
