Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia in pets

hypoglycemia

Avatar n tn This type of hypoglycemia does not lead to diabetes.
Avatar n tn Meds: Actos (since 2001) and Glucophage XR (since 1992) both for diabetes. Neurologists did not recommend CSF examination (no spinal tap done). Internal Medicine MD thought of multiple sclerosis, but did blood test for sedimentation rate (which is elevated in MS) and mine was normal. I check my glucose frequently.
Avatar n tn Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. As a fasting blood glucose result, 80 is on the low end of the ok range, but it is in the ok range. If your daughter will develop diabetes, or just hypoglycemia, there is nothing known that you can do to prevent it. You can keep your family, daughter included, more healthy through exercise and a better diet with more fruits and grains, for example, but that won't stop hypoglycemia in your daughter.

1994268 tn?1329466212 Hi my dog is a fox terrier cross and is white in colour. He has growths on his body that seem to be growing ( started out looking like warts) - could this be an indication of cancer.
Avatar f tn I live with my mom and she has two cats and I have one who I brought with me when i oves back in. My mom a one cat loves to be around me, the other one could care leas. But my cat NEVER leaves my side! Anywhere I go in the house he follows me, or comes chasing after me. If he's not in my lap, he is sleeping in my bed. He will literally sleep in my lap with his body wrapped around my belly and usually one paw up and around it. Its so cute! Wish I could post a pic!
Avatar f tn I have two 30lbs cat thatvr currently sleeping in the bassinet. No point in me telling them no when im not around theyll go in anyways lol i just let them do as they please.
Avatar f tn My dog been pissing me off the last few days. She has been shyting in her cage!! The other day I was like okay maybe she had to really in the middle of night. Now yesterday she didn't poop at all. Then woke up this am and shyt all in cage again. Like wtf I can't member the last time she has done this. Is she actin out because the baby? I hope not.
Avatar f tn so when I finish I got in line to purchase items, I waited in line for about 35 minutes until it was my turn to ring up. I felt myself getting dizzy and lightheaded but I ignored it since I had already waited so long for my turn in line. I figure 5 more minutes and I'll be headed home, just hold on you can make it.. the next thing I know I woke up with about 50 people surrounding me while I laid on the floor. I have no idea what happened and how I got there.
10131590 tn?1408165341 pets, cats especially can be funny that way. I'm 11 weeks pregnant, and have two kitties.
Avatar f tn So my dogs are okay, just beware of kitty's poo? The thing is... Unfortunately Kitty doesn't like the litter box. And they're not trained in a sense. They ALL have a habit of going into the shower in the exact same corner and all poops are scrambled in that corner. So idk who's poop belongs to whom.
Avatar f tn I have always had animals but we got our cat when my 2nd baby was about 6months old and the cat was fine but i just find myself worrying about her suffocating the baby when its born by getting into the moses basket,I have decided to keep the moses basket in my room during the day and keep the door shut so the baby sleeps in it at night and put the baby in a rocker during the day. I just do not know what to do really,i really cannot stand the cat being near me and she is rrally irritating me!
Avatar n tn I would assume that it can cause vision changes because when sugar levels raise and fall in your body they do so in all of your cells - including the cells in your eyes. This is why diabetics should have a glocoma test annually to make sure none of the blood vessels in the eyes are being effected. Sorry I don't know more but please post what you find out here as well so I can learn too.
1373602 tn?1373026364 I am sure dogs will get used to the babies (usually they love kids). Although you have to be really careful that the dog doesn't lick the baby or jumps into baby's crib because they have germs and hair which are very harmful to a sensitive baby (it applies to cats and other furry pets as well).
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 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.
1373602 tn?1373026364 i just hit me i have an dog and a lizard as pets , now i dont worry about the lizard because she is in the terrarium most of the time , but the dog i rise her like my own baby i did everything with her like with a baby she thinks i give birth to her and she always been the most spoiled thing ever in this house , is no one person she meets that dont think she is to spoiled , she sleep only with me and even try s to bite my huby or any body that will touch me wile she is next to me she is allays
Avatar f tn A white rice or quinoa would be alright in small amounts and in moderation. (I know people will rail against white rice but whole grain or brown rice contain too much anti-nutrients and can cause leaky gut syndrome) Make sure to eat those starches with protein and fat to help reduce the spikes of glucose. Do not go low fat, your growing baby NEEDS saturated fat in order to build healthy neuro-processors. Just stay away from trans-fats (mostly found in processed foods).
Avatar n tn My sis-in-law is hypoglycemic too!! How are you feeling when you have a count in the 70's or 80's??? Do you have any of these symptoms...shaking, sweating, confusion, weakness?? If so, experiment with Orange juice or grape juice or whatever juice you prefer...drink 4 ounces and wait 10-15 minutes and check your count again...depending on which lab you have your blood work done, the normal range is either 70-110 or 80-120...
1015873 tn?1261271548 I have had all sorts of animals throughout my life. Cats seem to be the main ones. I get on well with all animals. I had to put my dear old feral cat down the other day. It was really difficult to do as I am way over here in USA and my cat got sick back home in Australia. I didn't even get to say goodbye. I still have 2 other cats and a dog though.
Avatar n tn The cramps could be due to the hypoglycemia, while other possibilities such as electrolyte abnormalities, vascular issues etc may need to be considered as well. In episodes of acute hypoglycemia, finely grained sugar or candies work better than chocolate along with a little water. Since this was a single episode it may be ignored, however if it repeats you may consider a detailed evaluation by a primary care physician or an internist for suggestion for an appropriate management plan.
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 I have a male pitty as well he's very protective of me around people he doesn't know. I brought home my little guy but before doing that I set boundaries for my pitty. I made sure he knew whose toys were whose and also that he couldn't go into the baby room unless I was in there. Now they are seriously the best of friends and on walks duggi has to be right next to his buddy eli. Duggi lays outside Eli's room and knows he is not aloud to be in there unless I'm in there.
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 I keep asking about diabetes but they keep saying she would be much sicker and blood draws were done while in the hospital for the gallbladder and not even a hint of it so I rested my case yesterday. In her case, we now think they are illness related as it happened in the hosp with the gallbladder pain, etc. and a week ago at school and yesterday was at the Dr for an ear/sinus infection which is dragging her down. Keep us posted. I'm glad you have an answer but no cure yet!
Avatar f tn t want to loose him but my family keeps telling me that he is really bad for not only me but also my in comming baby... does anyone know if my cat is really a harm to my lil girl?... due Nov.
Avatar f tn I'm scheduled to have a C-section in 17 days!!! I'm not nervous or worried, more excited and ready to meet my little girl at this point. The only thing that I'm really concerned about right now is introducing the baby to the pets. I have two cats and a dog. The dog is very protective, so I think she will be ok, and my younger cat is pretty laid back. But my older cat tried to reject the other two animals when they came home.
