When that happens, you are going hypoglycemic.
I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate
Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--
"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313
The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

You should go to the doctor and ask them to adjust your meds during the day so you can do extra curricular activities. I don't know what being cold and irritable is, but it doesn't sound typical. You should be able to excercise with ease and if you are having side effects or complications, the doc should be able to adjust and help control the diet to make sure it is balancing out. Hope this helps!

Have some slow acting carbs before you exercise. eg a wholemeal sandwich. Or exercise after a meal. Check your BSL before you go. If it is on the low side have some fast acting carbs also- eg fruit juice. Take some fruit juice with you. Keep it and the end of your lane if swimming in a pool.

Try eating two egg whites and a slice of whole wheat toast, before you work out. wait about half an hour then go baby go. dont forget to drink lots of water, could be the irritability.
