Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia causes non diabetics

hypoglycemia

Avatar n tn Although some studies tend to indicate that some type 1 diabetics do not release these emergency sugars quite as well as non-diabetics, there is still a store of emergency sugars to help. Unfortunately, one of the things that alcohol does is preventing this release of emergency sugars. If you do some research on this subject you will find that many doctors suggest that diabetics either don't drink alcohol at all or limit the intake to 1 drink.
Avatar m tn but I DO have non-diabetic hypoglycemia (as diagnosed by my endocrinologist after nearly a year of testing). Apparently we are a very rare group, and so it's not unusual for non-diabetic hypoglycemics to end up here via an online search. Maybe you want to ban us all, but please do not cause confusion by giving misleading information. Non-Diabetic Hypoglycemia is NOT NOT NOT Type 1 diabetes. Please check your facts before posting misleading information.
Avatar n tn Those of us who answer these questions are not doctors, but are either type 1 diabetics or parents of type 1 diabetics, so we are not qualified to give you medical answers. However, we CAN suggest that you insist that your daugther be seen by not only a regular pediactrician, but also a pediatric endocrinologist.
Avatar n tn the other cause is hypocalcemia, hypokalemia and deranged sodium, potassium or phosphate levels. Hypoglycemia in diabetics etc can also cause perioral tingling. Raynaud’s disease or phenomenon causes tingling and numbness in lips, nose ears, nipples , fingers or toes, changing from white to blue to red on exposure to cold. It is seen in systemic sclerosis, SLE or rheumatoid arthritis. Infections like shingles and leprosy, neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis and trigeminal neuralgia.
Avatar n tn My 28 year old son has had Type I since he was 15 yrs old. Those first fiew years went quite smoothly. Then he got the pump and went off to college. I think he may have started a little rebellion at this point. He started guessing at his BS and would give too much insulin.... anyway, he now has hypoglycemic unawareness. It happens a lot during the night.
Avatar f tn part (which is a characteristic as well of Type II diabetes) in people diagnosed with Reactive Hypoglycemia is related to the chemical process that causes the Hypoglycemia (an excess of insulin). My quick search turned up dozens of articles so you should have no problem getting more information. I would also speak more to your doctor. I'm curious about that 166 blood sugar you mentioned as that is high (hyperglycemic) not low (hypoglycemic). Good luck on figuring it all out.
Avatar f tn For non-diabetics, normal is below 100. Prediabetics is 100 to 126 and diabetics is 126 and above. Sometimes lack of sleep and stress can cause a temporary rise in the fasting level.
Avatar n tn We are not doctors here, and any expertise that we can claim is with type 1, not type 2 diabetics, so you may want to go to the American Diabetes Association's website at www.ada.com for more information about type 2 diabetes. But I will offer some comments here... Type 1 diabetics have an autoimmune disorder that causes their bodies' immune systems to attack and kill off their pancreas insulin-producing cells, but type 2 diabetics have working pancreas organs.
Avatar m tn Hello, This is my first post, so I'm sorry if it's in the wrong forum. OK so I'm 19 years old,male, I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last summer, and I'm using Lantus 24hr along with Novo Rapid insulin for meals because pills are bad for my kidney and liver in the long-term (so says doctor). I've been having a lot of hypoglycemia recently too. But my question here is about Masturbation in relationship with glucose levels.
Avatar n tn What is the relation between hypoglycemia, the thyroid, and diabetes? i have been more and more experiencing shaky spells and feeling faint... then i will eat a ...piece of fruit, or something, and a warm calming sensation comes over my body and i feel find. my family history indicatets thyroid problems, but my last t test came back normal, do people with hypoglycemea get diabetes later in life?
Avatar n tn I have never read that any blood or metabolic disorder causes brain lesions. Hypoglycemia is not a mimic of MS that has to be ruled out before an MS diagnosis can be made. Would you explain more about why you feel the two are related, or that one underlying illness could be causing both? Is this because of the timing, and you believe it is not a coincidence? I haven't heard that hypo is an autoimmune disorder.
Avatar m tn The combination causes severe hypoglycemia at times. Good stress such as the visit of a loved one from out of town or a family holiday can do this to me, for I become excited and happy, and things speed up and I then keel over. Bad stress such as moving to a new city or changing jobs can cause the same thing.
Avatar n tn I am wondering if anybody here has made the same experience - I am suffering on a Diabetes Type 1 since 1998. My HBA1 is ok (6,7) and my problem is either Hypoglycemia than Hyperglycemia. Does anybody know the following symptoms: increased heartbeat and pulse, vertigo and the feeling to get unconsious any minute? This attack has a duration of 5 - 15 minutes. It happened four times to me. After the first time I made a medical check-up which brought no results.
Avatar n tn I think she must do a complete study of possible causes of hypoglycemia, there are some other endocrine deficiencies, certain disorders of the adrenal glands and the pituitary gland that can result in a deficiency of key hormones that regulate glucose production. I would recommend her to do much more tests (when the glycemia is low) to find out (exclude) the causes (ex. of some tests: insulin , C peptide, cortisol, ethanol, Hemoglobin A1c ....) .
1949068 tn?1449628519 I have been having hypoglycemia moments. Which that is odd. They have been coming about for the last couple of years. No, I don't eat breakfast (unless I'm in the mood--which is rare). I don't eat until around 12pm-3pm. When I do it? Its small & a healthy meal. I'm not big on sweets and/or foods containing a lot of sugar? Another thing I notice? I stay so thristy all the time & I have the dry mouth as well. So I was thinking maybe I am an diabetic?
Avatar f tn Alcohol intake can lower blood sugar immediately and up to 12 hours after ingestion. While this effect can occur both in diabetics and non-diabetics alike, diabetics should use additional caution when drinking alcohol, especially if taking glucose-lowering medications such as insulin. You can read a lot more at: http://diabetes.webmd.com/tc/hypoglycemia-low-blood-sugar-topic-overview I think it's worth getting to the doc for some lab work. I hope this helps and good luck.
Avatar n tn Most doctors therefore suggest that all diabetics drink only small amounts of alcohol. Hypoglycemia can kill within hours if nobody finds the person, or if the person is just assumed to be drunk and nobody takes his or her inability to function seriously. 2. Cane sugar IS 'normal' sugar. You need to know what the carb content is in any food or drink, not just how much sugar and what kind of sugar is in it.
Avatar n tn You are normal. After meal ranges are <180 mg/dl while some doctors want to see <140 mg/dl. [< means less than].
Avatar n tn Your symptoms of headaches, shakes and lightheadedness sound like hypoglycemia, which is LOW blood sugar. Other symptoms would be if you get hot and break out in a sweat, find yourself feeling confused or perhaps depressed or irritable, or find yourself yawning for no reason. This can happen to people when they have not eaten in a long time or if they eat something that has a lot of quickly digested carbohydrates that cause the pancreas to be stimulated too much.
Avatar n tn Please clear this up for me. In your website, it says that prolonged hypoglycemia can cause seizures or loss of consciousness? By "prolonged" do you mean within the moment or do you mean prolonged meaning as in years? I hope you mean in the moment because one has hypoglycemia for life,right?Also, that doesn't happen often does it? If your blood sugar drops and you eat,and then feel better, that stuff should not happen right?
Avatar n tn This confusion is common, for the medications that most people are put on to treat diabetes can cause hypoglycemia if overdosed or if the patient delays a meal or perhaps does not eat the usual amount of carbohydrates in a normal meal. So diabetics can and do suffer from hypoglycemia.
Avatar n tn You're right, β-blockers do blunt some hypoglycemic symptoms. As far as "do they have any effect on the beta cells", for t2 diabetics and non-diabetics β-blockers are known to inhibit insulin production and cause insulin resistance.
1770925 tn?1365618522 I have hypoglycemia for years and I don't eat sugary foods or fried foods. I eat small meals 6 times a day. Fruit and vegetables and soy products. Just fish etc. I am just saying that small meals often is the way to go with hypoglycemia.This eating regime helps my sugar stay level and not low, but if I stress the sugar drops and ginger helps me. I am not on any medication. See your Dr for advice.
Avatar n tn I don't understand how alcohol can cause hypoglycemina in diabetics. It seems to me that it would cause hyperglycemia because of the sugar in the alcohol. I just heard a story of an adult who passed out twice because she had wine after taking insulin. Her blood sugar was 175 when she took her insulin and within 15 minutes she was passed out.
Avatar m tn I sincerely believe that TYPE 2 can be almost eradicated and also insulin resistance /hypoglycemia too, all these can pretty much be non existent, just from changing our diet... Eating excess sugar and carbs is our downfall, these insidious ingredients make us so sick, it is slowly killing us - strokes, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and obesity just to name a few....
Avatar m tn Non diabetics pancreas will immediately fluctuate to keep stasis within the body. Most non-diabetics will not get close to 120. The highest I have seen a non-diabetics blood sugar raise (after eating a ton of processed sugar) was 102. When you are not diabetic your body automatically adapts to the changes in nutrients in order to keep your organs working properly.
