Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia symptoms overweight

hypoglycemia

Avatar f tn Last week I was diagnosed with insulin resistent Hypoglycemia. I am not obese....although I am overweight by about 25 lbs. I am 36 year old female. My family does have late onset history ( my dad) but he was not diagnosed until late 50's. I do exercise although not everyday. I was put on Metformin to help regulate my Insulin and told to stay away from concentrated sweets. I guess I am a little concerned about this since I am fairly young.
341655 tn?1240368839 I have been having odd symptoms after eating. I start to tremble very bad and feel weak and lightheaded and very tired. It is only after eating and once I eat it persists throughout the day. my dad has type 2 diabetes. I am 22 but I have been on blood pressure meds since 18 and am slightly overweight. any infor would be great.
Avatar n tn 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 n tn 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!!
Avatar n tn Dear Barney, It could be hypoglycemia but this could be checked by eating something sweet and seeing if the symptoms go away. You may want to try eating foods that digest slowly to see if that helps prevent the symptoms.
Avatar f tn These are vague symptoms for hypoglycemia. I would see an Endocrinologist and have some bloodwork done.
Avatar n tn ve been weak, drowsey, lethargic, involuntary body shaking (torso tenses up and shakes, relieved by deep breaths) some heart palps and near syncope, near syncope when startled into tachycardia, pulse ranging from 50 to 120 at rest, with near syncope happening at the high end and weakness, heavy aching chest and dizziness occuring at the low end. Also have had some reactive hypoglycemia even after a solid meal.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn Hypoglycemic people need to be aware of the symptoms of hypoglycemia (shakes, headache, sweating, feelings of fatigue, etc.) and to eat foods to bring sugar levels back up to normal when they occur. Most of my reading on the subject tends to encourage hypoglycemics to keep some juice handy for severe episodes, but also to eat protein-rich foods such as nuts to help keep blood sugar levels from spiking up and down again as they can when treated with the juices alone.
Avatar n tn Hypoglycemia does manifest with the symptoms you've mentioned. What a person will present with regarding symptoms depends on their glucose baseline. If her fasting is 110, 80 could be very low for her. When these symptoms present, check her glucose if you have a glucometer at home. If you see that she is low, give her crackers (grahams are great) and a glass of orange juice. But please start keeping a log/diary of when these symptoms occur. A food journal would also be beneficial.
514704 tn?1228312637 To add to Zoelula, frequent night urination can be caused by drinking fluids prior to bedtime or late at night, an overactive bladder, and on rare occasions congestive heart failure. Your other symptoms mimic hypoglycemia [low blood sugar and why you feel better after a glass of milk]. You need be checked by a doctor asap, especially considering in the back of your mind you have linked your outbreaks to diabetes.
Avatar n tn It sounds to my like it may be hypoglycemia. It can cause symptoms just like this. Keep a dairy of when you are not feeling well what you ate for up to 2 hours of you not feeling well. When getting normal blood work it will not show up because you have to be activally having an attack. You can also get an inexpensive testing kit at walgreens. I get exactly like this when mine drops. If you are eating a diet in high carbs, low protien it can cause it.
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn I am a 62 year old female, overweight, taking medication for hypertension, depression, osteoporosis and ETD. For the past several days, at approximately the same time, I get very shaky, weak and sweaty. After eating something sweet the feeling will disappear. I have had this sensation before but not often. Is this something that I need to be concerned about?
Avatar n tn When reading your comments, it occurred to me that your symptoms, including the slightly low glucose reading on your glucose tolerance test sound more like hypoglycemia than diabetes. Hypoglycemia means that your blood sugar is too LOW, not high (diabetes).
Avatar n tn 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!
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 f tn 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).
Avatar n tn 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...
