Hypoglycemia diet drinking

Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia diet drinking

hypoglycemia

Avatar n tn IF this IS hypoglycemia, you can do a lot to help yourself by making some changes in diet. Folks who live with hypoglycemia often avoid all forms of caffiene, which can speed up the body's functions and therefore increase the pancreas' dump of insulin. Also, many hypoglycemic people avoid all simple sugars and many find some relief in staying on a fairly low carb diet so as not to stimulate the over-active pancreas.
Avatar n tn Sounds similar to my hypoglycemia symptoms I get at times. You need to eat a well balanced diet and cut out all refined sugars, concentrate more on organic veggies, fruits, etc Avoid all alcohol as well.. Also, you could have weak adrenal glands, this, too, can cause the problems you are having. The doc can order some tests to determine if this is the case or not.
1662361 tn?1302762372 I am 23, I know I am over weight, I diet and exercise but never loss weight. I have been test for diabetes since I was 12, and my levels have always been low. I have noticed lately tho when I test because my mom and grandma are diabetic that my sugar levels are from 50 to maybe 75 no matter what I eat. I snack on granola and some times hard candy and sometimes cookies. I just feel sick all the time, and dizzy and i get really shaky and, Nothing I have been doing is working.
Avatar n tn The pediatrician gave us the result of ketonic hypoglycemia. Is there a special diet i need to put him on? How often would he have episodes? And could he have had a one time only episode?
Avatar n tn I have always suspected that I had hypoglycemia (by which I mean the chronic kind, whatever that may be called). I have all the classic symptoms, as my mother says. I need to eat every 2-4 hours, otherwise I become very lethargic, even rude. That's on the outside - inside I feel hungry, nauseous, have a headache, etc. I once passed out in high school because I hadn't eaten enough one day. I recently had a "physical" for a life insurance policy.
Avatar n tn People who live with hypoglycemia often can control this problem by eating a carefully-chosen diet (do a Google search on Hypoglycemia to see suggestions). It is important to understand what is happening when you feel this way, for your reaction times when driving can be affected if glucose levels are too low, and so this can be a dangerous condition if it happens when you are behind the wheel of a car.
Avatar m tn Okay, first some history about myself, I suffered a panic attack in Nov. 06 and ever since then have suffered from a lot of anxiety. I'm not very active and don't really eat the best diet. For a few years now, in between meals I would feel kinda shaky and feel that I needed to eat. I asked a friend who happens to be a nutrisionist and she said it might be hypoglycemia. Now to my question or I guess concern.
Avatar n tn I have had a problem with binge drinking for about 6 years, and my long binges would send me into terrible episodes of hypoglycemia. But I have since slowed my drinking down substantially, yet any amount of alcohol now seems to give me blood sugar issues, in different extremes. Could my binge drinking have made my liver more sensitive, to the point where I'll most likely have to abstain completely from alcohol?
757137 tn?1347196453 I have long believed that most alcoholism was not a psychological problem, but a physical one related to hypoglycemia. Some years ago I had occasion to test my theory on a friend of mine who had become an alcoholic. She had all the signs of a hypoglycemic, the most notable being sugar cravings. (She was, by the way, very slender.) She told me she went on her biggest binges when she got out of rehab. I found out that in rehab they replace alcohol with lots of sugary foods.
Avatar f tn Could be insufficient rest or insufficient diet -- especially since you say you're losing weight. When you change your diet, the point is to eat better permanently so the weight stays off, but you have to get sufficient of the right type of nutrients to support your exercise. Many people "diet" which is to say go on some fad diet or severely restrict calories instead of eating healthier foods for a permanent change.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with type II diabetes, and my physician at the time immediately put me on actoplusmet (no discussion of diet and excersise control first). I told him that I previously had gestational diabetes that once on diet alone caused my blood sugar levels to drop so low that the meter read in the 40's and sometimes just LOW. The nutritionsts then changed my diet so that it was double portion sizes and everything read perfectly.
Avatar f tn Went for a normal physical with fasting labs. I got a call from my doctor two days later and my glucose was 56. They were concerned about me being possibly hypoglycemic. Been checking it on and off and reading a lot on the subject but no definite answer as to what I need to be watching for in the future. It ranges from being in the 60s to 120s. The highest I've ever saw it go is 122 but that was two hours after eating.
Avatar n tn t exactly sounding like hypoglycemia, but it could be (low blood sugar) and a simple meter test will tell you. Or else he is drinking when you are at work and using diabetes as an excuse.
Avatar n tn So diet is about the only way to try to help him. As LRS wrote, a diet which includes complex carbohydrates rather than simple sugars and frequent snacks may help prevent this.
Avatar n tn s glucose and can result in very severe hypoglycemia is one is drinking heavily. The reason for the risk of severe hypoglycemia is that, normally, over livers will help out when we're low -- The liver will cause glycogen stores to be converted to glucose in an attempt to raise our blood sugar. When we have alcohol in our systems, however, our liver will first deal with that "toxin" ... since the liver "sees" alochol as a poison to get processed out.
Avatar m tn , 190 lbs that went through the past 5 years of rather heavy drinking alcohol. During the last 6 months, Drinking was increased to about a liter of vodka nightly. I stopped drinking alcohol abruptly and have not had any alcohol in 5 weeks. Since that time, I have noticed an urgency to urinate several times daily and nightly that yield only about half of the normal urine as I am accustomed to. What are the possibilities that could cause this?
Avatar n tn hi i am hoping that someone can help me i have pretty much been dealing with low blood sugar for as long as i can remmber but all the diets that i find for it is tring to advoid the spikes so you dont go low well i dont have the spikes so the diet isnt working for me. i am usually in the 70s & 80s mostly 80s 2 hours or less after i eat . can someone tell me what your suppost to do if you dont get the spikes but the lows. thank you.
Avatar f tn t eat some sugar during the day I still get hypoglycemic. Adding things like cookies, candy, popsicles and sugar to my diet really seems to help a lot and then I hardly ever get hypoglycemic. I've been tested for diabetes several times, mainly because I experience some symptoms (e.g. frequent dehydration, even when I drink lots of fluids), but it always came back negative.
Avatar n tn I'm a 19 year old female and I've been dieting for two weeks now. I'm just on a simple diet of 1200 calories a day and 30 minutes exercise daily. Lately I've been experience numbness/tingling in my right foot (a couple of times my left also) and sometimes my entire right leg. Is this weight loss related? Should I worry?
956433 tn?1255977108 good eating habbits are key in treating BOTH anxiety and hypoglycemia separately...that's no different if you have them both together. while there are many routes in treating anxiety...all of those routes are aided by good diet. i've yet to hear of one thats aided by a poor diet, but i suppose all is possible...though certainly not probable. obviously the frontline treatment of hypoglycemia is good diet. with this in mind, it's reasonable to assume good diet can only benefit you.
Avatar m tn Zinc is a mineral that helps the skin and nerves get healthy. Check your diet - if you are eating too much sugar or carbs you might have frequent urination caused by hypoglycemia or pre-diabetes. Maybe you didn't pee often enough before and the zinc is healing your bladder... Are you drinking more water? You should in hot weather. If you are very concerned about it, see a doctor about a postassium supplement as we deplete our potassium when we sweat too much.
Avatar n tn Hi - I'm new here. I have pre-diabetes (about 2 years now) and have autoimmune degenerative neuropathy (CIDP for 26 years) unrelated to diabetes. I am not overweight, and am 32 years of age. My question is: does inflammation in the nervous system cause alterations in glucose metabolism? I'm currently having multiple daily bouts of hypoglycemia - my doctors can't/won't answer my question. I'm taking IVIG, Imuran and Ultram - no steroids or antidiabetics.
Avatar f tn I would see your doctor about this very soon, as folks with hypoglycemia may develop diabetes later on. You may have pre-diabetes, and need to go on a diabetic diet. Meanwhile, make sure you have both protein and carbohydrates with all meals, and with all snacks, which you seem to be doing. You also might need to get a dietary consult and/or see an endocrinologist, for both are specially trained in working with people with blood sugar problems.
Avatar n tn If true hypoglycemia is rare, then when do they decide that this is not reactive hypoglycemia and decide to treat her for diabetes. I am really worried! This has been going on for a year now and I see symptoms getting worse and worry that I'm not doing enough but when the Ped Endo won't listen, what next?? **Do these numbers of the 145's 198's and 245's indicate a need for insulin? **Does her GTT reslut look like a typical or early Type 1 GTT result???
