Common Questions and Answers about Glucose in hunger

glucose

Avatar n tn It may seem counterintuitive but hunger and glucose levels are two separate processes. Hunger is what your body craves vs excess sugar circulating in your blood stream. Make sense?

Avatar f tn After we eat, excess glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen to maintain normal glucose levels in our body. In GSD I, the enzyme needed to release glucose from glycogen is missing. When this occurs, a person cannot maintain his or her blood glucose levels and will develop hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) within a few hours after eating. The low levels of glucose in the blood of these individuals often result in chronic hunger, fatigue, and irritability.
Avatar f tn I have never been so hungry in my life. I am a healthy eater for the most part, but I cant find anything healthy to satisfy me more than 5 minutes. Do you think my metabolism has speed up also? I am just ready to feel 100%, but I know it takes time. I am happy with how I feel so far. I never expected to be feeling this good so soon. Thanks again for all your help and support.
Avatar f tn Weird.... I was allowed to eat and drink up until 2 hours before the test. Reschedule and dont eat or drink this time.
Avatar f tn Stomach ulcers and severe acidity can result in hunger pangs. Even GERD presents with similar symptoms. At times the hunger pangs due to acidity wakes up a person in the wee hours of night. Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. However I would recommend you see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision.
7181824 tn?1388970296 I'm 28weeks & Three Days I Haven't Had My Glucose Test Yet Because I'm In The Process Of Moving And Have To Switch Doctors I Was Just Wondering The Symptoms For Gestational Diabetes .
Avatar n tn If you get hunger pangs in your stomach it could be the meds, check out with your Doctor, you can also get low blood sugar( Hypoglecemia ) without being diabetic and it may not show up, dont go a long time with out eating, make sure you eat at regular intervals a healthy meal or snack. Low blood sugar can also cause panic and anxiety take a small candy bar or some glucose tabs and see if you feel better hwhen you take them.
Avatar m tn I fainted just the other day an have been throwing up so i went to the doctor an im not pregnant but he told me i have keytones in my urine an asked if diabetes run in the family i was just wondering what keytones are?
Avatar f tn I wonder if its normal that I felt like crap after taking glucose test?? Any of you ladies who have taken it feel crappy after??
Avatar f tn I presume this has to do with the sugar causing an insulin spike which in turn causing blood glucose level to drop and triggering the hunger response. So I avoid anything sweet at night. But I do like carbohydrates---wholegrain breads and pasta, brown rice etc + plenty of olive/sesame oil + small amount of cheese/egg/meat/fish. But I'm getting sick of eating these things because I eat so much, and I'm still ravenous.
Avatar m tn First off "having checked blood sugar in the past" is meaningless. Glucose meters are inexpensive. Get one and test yourself before and two hours after a meal. After that, a trip to an endochronologist, as suggested by HealthyMike, is an excellent idea.
Avatar n tn Frequent urination, Excessive thirst, Extreme hunger, Unusual weight loss, Increased fatigue, Irritability and blurry vision are some other symptoms of diabetes I would suggest if you recognize one or more of these symptoms to take her to the doctor and request a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test or an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. Those tests will give you a real answer and you won't just worry if she does have diabetes.
Avatar n tn I have tested for hypoglycemia, but symptoms occur in the mid-60s, well before the standard blood glucose level identified as hypoglycemic. I have had my thyroid tested (normal) and two blood panels: standard metabolic (CO2 level slightly high at 34, otherwise normal) and standard blood test (normal). I have seen a counselor. This is a real physical problem, but I can't find a doctor who will listen to me. I follow a healthy diet, limiting carbohydrates as much as possible.
Avatar f tn Typically, the spike of insulin does its job too well and has clears the glucose too quickly. For many, this results in a deficit of sugar. We experience the hypoglycemic'crash' of feeling foggy headed as our brain needs more glucose. We get cravings for sugar. As soon as we eat something sweet, we calm down. However, within an hour, we are back to craving sweets again. Insulin is known as the 'hunger hormone'. When you are on a diet, the blood glucose is low.
Avatar n tn But it seems that her headache can come from nowhere, and in addition to that she feels like vomiting sometimes, but she never really does vomit. I have a scheduled appointment with her doctor next week, but I would like to have some feedback on what tests I need to ask for (I am very afraid she could have diabetes). Please let me know what could be going on.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed type 2 about a year and a half ago and have put on 40 pounds. I'm so hungry all the time. The doctor says that's the insulin. He said it really makes you hungry. Is there anything that will control this hunger? I don't want to take anymore meds, I'm already taking so many.
Avatar f tn You will be surprised to know that stomach ulcers and severe acidity can result in hunger pangs. Even GERD presents with similar symptoms. At times the hunger pangs due to acidity wakes up a person in the wee hours of night. Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. However I would recommend you see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision. Avoid heavy meals and take frequent small ones.
Avatar n tn she later told me that she cannot see for a couple of minutes when she wakes in the morning and feels weak, she said this sometimes occurs during the day as well. She said she is tired all the time, has headaches. She has a slight rash on her neck. I had her urine tested last November because type I diabetes runs on her father's side of the family. The urine test at that time was normal.
Avatar f tn During my 3 trips to the ER the glucose was high 112-125 which they said was because of the pain I was in. During my 3 day hospital stay the glucose was between 90-96. The most recent test was in December and that was 93. Is there any cause for concern? Or can a sickness like Covid cause glucose to temporarily rise. No symptoms of diabetes- thirst, excessive hunger slow healing cuts etc. I am trying to trim down about 10-15lbs. Any advice would be appreciated!
Avatar n tn m a Type 2 with Binge Eating Disorder, went to treatment and found intuitive mindful eating. Any others find this method helpful in controlling blood glucose levels?
Avatar f tn I gained a lot of weight (50lbs), and started to have insulin resistance problems and high glucose levels. I was put on metformin 500mg once a day for a year. I was told that if I lost the weight my numbers would go back to normal. I lost 40lbs, I am exercising and eating healthy. My doctor told me that I could quit metformin. I was very conservative and instead of quitting I was taking half pill (250mg).
