Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia symptoms fix
hypoglycemia
I don't think you have an eating disorder. It sounds like a medical problem. You don't say how high and how low your blood sugar goes. It sounds like you need to check further into hypoglycemia or diabetes. If your doctor can't help you, ask for a referral to an endocrinologist. You need an A1C test as well as an OGTT to see how you react to sugar over a period of a couple hours. Be persistent, don't just accept a random blood glucose check which is meaningless.
These are vague symptoms for hypoglycemia. I would see an Endocrinologist and have some bloodwork done.
From what I understand initial low blood sugar symptoms (that is the feelings as your sugar drops, rather than the symptoms that come about after suffering low blood sugar over an extended time) are a hormonal response your body puts out to tell itself your sugar is dropping and to do something about it. Those initial signs - the shakiness, the disconnecting feeling (almost dream-like disconnect) sometimes cold sweat, etc, can result from other things as well.
Hi, I have reactive hypoglycemia. One of the best websites to learn about hypoglycemia is reactivehypoglycemia.net. I don't think it's possible to grow out of hypoglycemia. I'm a teenager and I've had it since I was two or so. I really wish though!!
Or, if he refuses to do that, ask him to run a glucose tolerance test to see if it will show up (some folks that I have talked to who live with very obvious symptoms of hypoglycemia come through the tests just fine, though, for the test will only show something amiss if the sugar solution happens to cause hypoglycemia at that particular time).
Meanwhile, you might want to avoid foods that might trigger hypoglycemia -- these seem to be things high in simple sugars and carbs.
hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, and it is increasingly prevalent in our society. Hypoglycemia can cause an array of symptoms, including spaciness, fatigue, mood changes, PMS, sugar craving, headaches, difficulty focusing the eyes, tremors, temperamental outbursts, depression, excessive sweating, hot flashes, palpitations, cold extremities, abdominal pain, and panic attacks.
I copied and pasted this post from a question in the archives. I thought maybe it could help you and your husband with not recognizing the lows. As for long term effects I do not know. I think it is a bit off that he would not have any sort of responsiveness even when his blood sugar was 167. Maybe there is another problem going on and the advice given about being examined further by another doctor is a good suggestion.
Unfortunately, your symptoms do appear to be the same symptoms as diabetes, or at least hypoglycemia. I would make an appointment with your doctor to get your blood sugar checked. If you do have diabetes, the only way to treat it is with insulin. Good luck. Hypoglycemia is slightly different, but related. Basically you just have low blood sugars, and the primary fix is primarily by diet. Good luck.
Most healthy people find that their bodies fix the situation pretty quickly once the brain sends out signals for emergency sugars to be released from the liver, which would mean that the symptoms are temporary. So hypoglycemia spells could be the cause of passing out... and of course the number might be very normal when you are discovered and blood is drawn because the body has already released emergency sugars.
That sounds like Reactive Hypoglycemia, which is a condition where people's blood sugar drops after eating a meal high in carbs. You could try eating less carbs and see if it improves or you could visit your doctor.
The day camp workers should possibly be taught what to look for in the way of symptoms of hypoglycemia and be given permisison to give him a half cup of juice if he seems to need it.
In the past if I delay eating I will get the classic symptoms of hypoglycemia, nervousness, weakness, jittery, and nausea. Recently I have noticed at times I have had what I will call discomfort and weakness in my left arm with a headache and numbness in the lower part of my hand from the wrist to my little finger (which doesn’t completely go away. A couple of days ago I had the same feeling in my right arm and hand.
Your husband could be suffering from postural or orthostatic hypotension in which the blood pressure falls on standing up. Other than this it can be hypoglycemia or vasovagal attack.
Since he also gets temperature fluctuations, the first things to be ruled out are thyroid disorders, adrenal gland problems, anemia, diabetes, hypoglycemia, liver diseases, low Vit B12, and vasovagal attacks.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!
I don't think this supplement will do anything for your adrenals, though it might help your memory. There are herbs called adaptogens that probably will be more effective and have much longer usage history to prove their effectiveness, for example, holy basil and ashwagandha will help balance the adrenals.
We have heard of a few other situations like this with small children, and I know it must be terrifying for the parents. From what I have read about hypoglycemia, different people seem to have different types of hypoglycemia, meaning that different things bring on episodes. For some people, hypoglycemia happens if they don't eat enough carbs at one meal or if they skip a meal.
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.
I was also prescribed Lexapro, Lamictal, and Welbutrin for dystymia and anxiety. I recently taperd off the Lexapro. I now have all the symptoms of hypoglycemia: tingling in lips (its constant, no break) and dizziness at just the slightest turn of the head, heart rate that is averaging 100 beats per minute (this has been constant not in little bursts for about three days now), and tightness in the chest/lung area, slight muscular type pain during deep breathing (also for about 5 days now).
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...if you are not having a hypoglycemic event, sweating, shaking etc. it's possible that your count is fine...
Hello, I've had both extreme symptoms of hypoglycemia (chills, intense hunger, rapid heartbeat, etc) and type 2 diabetes (frequent urination, thirst, rashes, fatigue) and have had several blood tests done but haven't been diagnosed with either. I was wondering if there were any specific conditions that could cause both symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia. Thanks.
71 is normal but again I felt horrible, weak, shaky, anxiety, etc. Could this be something other than Hypoglycemia? Before I had lunch I ran 2.5 miles on the treatmill and felt fine so this is beginning to puzzle me.
Hi there!
I'm a 22 year old college student, and I've been a "fasting" hypoglycemic since I was a kid. I'm non-diabetic and they are unsure of the true cause of my hypoglycemia... though they think that it has to do with several genetic factors. I'm here because I'm hoping someone can answer some questions for me because my hypoglycemia has been really severe this year...
We are not doctors on this Forum, but folks who either are parents of type 1 children or type 1 diabetic folks ourselves. Yes, your symptoms do sound like those of hypoglycemia, but an infection can also cause drenching sweats. When your body is battling an infection, stress hormones are released, and it is possible, I suppose, that your body is just not functioning at its best right now. Whether you have had mild hypoglycemia before or not, of course, we can't tell.
You don't say if you have type 1 diabetes. How low does your blood sugar drop at how long after eating. Then how high does it spike? Are you on medication or insulin?
I have tried eating pure glucose, and it only partially helps (with physical energy), leaving me mentally-foggy and with a strong craving for protein; so it seems it is not just hypoglycemia, and just eating sugar won't fix it. What is this?
