Avatar f tn If you were my patient, I would advise you that it sounds like you are experiencing episodes of low blood sugar which many women have during pregnancy. A good suggestion that can help with symptoms is to keep a bit of something in your stomach all the time Many women have told me about Cheerios, or Goldfiish Crackers These symptoms do NOT mean that you have diabetes, but if my patients have a suspicious history or family history of diabletes, I might suggest a few blood sugar checks too.
Avatar f tn But this morning I got really lightheaded and a headache all of a sudden(which I know is normal in pregnancy) but I checked my blood pressure again to see if that was it, and it was perfect. So I checked my blood sugar and it was 79, I had just had a fruit smoothie. The medical assistant at work told me it was low, and then another told me it was slightly low. My question is does anyone know what it should be? I go to the Dr tomorrow so I will ask him, but I'm just curious.

Avatar n tn Is 130 high for blood sugar?
976897 tn?1379167602 Those meds knocked it down to acceptable levels without me doing anything. I then read about sugar consumption playing a huge role in atherosclerosis, and my Doctor even now believes it's probably a mixture of both fats and sugars. So I decided to experiment. I drink LOADS of green tea and had 3 teaspoons of sugar in every cup. I now have none. It tasted like sewage at first though, so had to get used to it. I was also a huge chocoholic. Bar after bar.
2109562 tn?1347253848 Mine never got that bad either nor hit that fast my sugar test where all fine but i get sugar drops every now n then cause when not pregnant i have low blood sugar i am36 weeks tomorrow.

Avatar f tn I've always had problems with this even before pregnancy and I think it's my blood sugar. I try to always keep peanut butter crackers or a protein bar in my purse for when I start to feel bad and it seems to work!
Avatar m tn Due to the nagging, I have cut out almost every carbs. My weight went down to 125 pounds. My thyroid was 6.9 in last check and blood sugar 100 My creatinine was high normal.. The doctor is calling me prediabetic because people are supposed to have low sugar with hypothyroid. I don't have a family history of diabetes except for an uncle. He had a high sugar diet,and he was sedentary but was normal weight. He was about 50 when he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am a Caucasian.
Avatar f tn I have been researching it alot and I have read that blood and sugar in your urine could be a sign of diabetes. Maybe you can ask your Dr. to test you for that. Try to stay calm. I know its hard and am having a hard time myself but stress makes all things worse. Keep me posted.

Avatar f tn Other non organic causes of seizure may be a febrile convulsion due to very high body temperature. He needs to be evaluated thoroughly for a complete blood sugar profile, fasting, post prandial and an hbA1C to check his glycemic control over the last 3 months. The neurologist should reexamine him for systemic manifestations of diabetes to check. Take care.
Avatar n tn Hypoglycemia (Low Blood sugar) is a form of Diabetes. The other Form is Hyperglycemia (High Blood sugar). So yes you are Diabetic.

Avatar n tn or check out websites from some of the names mentioned (also in my profile section, but I do need to get in there and clean that up a bit). Remember, also, that you hired the doctor who works for you. Odd concept to some, but do find someone to really hear you... sounds like you might need to get a consult from someone who works with women's hormones. I hope this helped and I hope you feel well again soon!
Avatar f tn she called me tonight to say that the result did not come out good... she said that there was a high amount of sugar in my urine.. i am a bit worried as i did not have this problem with my first pregnancy... does anyone know what this means???
4250330 tn?1388621179 I think I have low blood sugar bc I am always hungry and dizzy when I eat it gets a little better just wanna know who has had this whole pregnant I've never had it this is my 4th pregnancy
Avatar f tn With all these symptoms the two things which should be ruled out first are hyperthyroidism and H pylori infection of the gut along with reflux. The former can be diagnosed by blood tests-thyroid profile and the latter by carbon urea breath test. The next possibility is PCOD or polycystic ovary. You will need an ultrasound, blood sugar testing and hormone analysis for this.
Avatar f tn I've been hypoglycemic (have low blood sugar) since I was very little. You need to have peanut butter crackers or some almonds on hand at all times if you're getting low blood sugar. Gum will only help for a little while. Candies and stuff are high in sugar but they don't last as long. The protein in nuts and peanut butter raises your sugar and keeps it up for a good while.
Avatar f tn Has anyone dealt with low blood sugar during pregnancy? I took my 1 hr glucose test- I had black coffee prior to the drinking the glucose drink, then 1 hr of nothing and my blood draw. My level came back at 65. My midwiNenmade a passing comment about it bein low and watching for symptoms of lightheadedness but wasn't concerned. What were your numbers if you were deemed low blood sugar? Any other symptoms? Thanks!
996946 tn?1503249112 Yes, Onglyza is a fairly effective oral hypoglycemic medication that helps in controlling blood sugar levels. However, it has its own range of side effect profile and should be taken after consultation and written prescription by a medical practioner. Hope this information helps. Take care!
Avatar f tn Most people do not consider blood sugar to be low and in need of treatment unless it is under 70 or even under 60. However, if your blood sugar has been high for awhile than numbers that are not technically hypos can feel like they are. If you have diarrhea since last Thursday and not able to eat (regardless of your need to lose weight) you should check with your doctor as you can become dehydrated.
