High glucose is much preferable to low glucose levels. Been there on both of them.
Highs won't kill, just make you angry and feel bad.
Lows will kill!!
Highs just do damage to blood vessels, nerves, and heart muscles! Lows damage the brain by not allowing enough glucose to feed it.
We don't want to do all the damage to the tiny nerve endings and blood vessels that highs do to our feet, hands and eyes. So we work very hard at staying on a level playing field as in normal or as normal glucose readings as we can. This damage happens over a long period of time and can eventually hurt severely.
