Hypoglycemia symptoms with normal blood sugar
Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia symptoms with normal blood sugar
hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia/ low blood sugar would be considered blood sugar levels less than about 70. Your result of 103 is normal, not hypoglycemia.
It is likely that your symptoms may be from other causes. Sometimes headaches can be a sign of not drinking enough - so a glass of water and a few minutes to relax / be quiet - may help a lot.
Hope this helps.
My husband has has Type II diabetes for 16 years and his blood sugar levels are checked with blood tests. This is what the Blood Glucose Meters do, they measure your blood sugar level by you nicking your finger and getting a drop of blood into the meter, which then shows them a number. I'm sure you've seen these on TV, but you don't need one unless you are diagnosed with diabetes.
I noticed my blood sugar never goes above 120. It doesn't matter how much sugar I consume. Most of the time it is in the 80 to 90 range even after eating. Today I ate a breakfast burrito and had orange juice. My blood glucose was 92 thirty minutes after eating. Sometimes it will fall in the 60 range.
My fasting blood glucose level was around 80. It seems like my body overcompensates when I consume sugar. Do you think I have reactive hypoglycemia?
ve been having a hard time with what I was told was reactive hypoglycemia. I get all the symptoms of hypoglycemia without having the low blood sugar. I addressed this issue with my GI doctor because I have been eating dairy and gluten free, eating 6 meals a day (now every two hours), and drink liquids between my meals. I do try to not eat sugar, eat a lot of meat when I can afford it, nuts, fruits, veggies, and I still get symptoms. They suggested I eat 40 grams of fiber.
When someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, there blood sugar would be higher than the normal range. High blood sugar symptoms include:
- hunger (increased appetite)
- extreme thirst
- frequent urination (as well as large amounts)
- fatigue / drowsiness
- blurred vision
My son was asking for drinks at a rate where I could barely keep up. He was a 3 yr. old that was telling me, fill my cup up, up, all the way up, and then he would guzzle it down and beg for more.
Today about 20 minutes after my lunch I started sweating, feeling weak, heart racing, etc. I checked my blood sugar and it was 71 after eating a chicken salad, salad. I checked it before eating and it was 77 so why would it go down after eating a salad and a few wheat crackers? 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.
After my blood sugar has returned to normal levels (101 mg/dL in 3 hours) can I be sure that I shouldn't have any symptoms of hypoglycemia or on the other hand if my blood sugar levels are in the normal range, I shouldn't have any symptoms of hypoglycemia?
Or there is a possibility to suffer from hypoglycemia symptoms when your blood glucose levels are within the range?
If your blood glucose was 61 an hour or two after breakfast, especially if your breakfast was fairly high carb (such as cereal, bread, etc) you might have a specific type of hypoglycemia called reactive hypoglycemia which is people who have low blood sugar after a meal high in carbs. I would suggest seeing your doctor and getting tested to see what type of hypoglycemia you have and to make sure you aren't pre-diabetes.
Since blood glucose levels can fluctuate widely in healthy subjects, and symptoms of hypoglycemia can be vague and nonspecific, establishing the diagnosis of hypoglycemia as the cause of symptoms is often difficult. When symptoms of hypoglycemia occur together with a documented blood glucose under 45 mg/dl, and the symptoms promptly resolve with the administration of glucose, the diagnosis can be made with more certainty.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF HYPOGLYCEMIA?
Actually, at 70, I can start to feel pretty awful at times, even though 70 is not particularly low, just borderline low. And sometimes at 80, I can start to feel some hypo symptoms if my blood sugar is dropping pretty fast. I think sometimes the fast drop is what triggers my symptoms more so than the actual number at that time. If I feel these symptoms, test, and find the number in the normal range, but test again a half hour later, it ALWAYS has dropped tremendously.
The last one he tested his blood sugar and it was normal, not Hypoglycemia, unless you can have Hypoglycemia with normal blood sugar levels. He is also an avid ecig vapor user, but nicotine poisoning seems more severe, and he uses that thing all day every day without issues.
Without proper testing results one assumption is you experienced reactive hypoglycemia. Reactive hypoglycemia [or alimentary hypoglycemia] is low glucose [blood sugar] that occurs after a meal — usually one to three hours after eating.
Try the following:
• Eat several small meals and snacks throughout the day, no more than three hours apart.
• Eat a well-balanced diet including lean and nonmeat sources of protein and high-fiber foods including whole grains, fruit and vegetables.
Re-reading your post it sounds like you have these symptoms all the time and your blood sugar is normal. The only thing diabetes-related that accounts for that is if you have been very high for awhile then you feel low at normal blood sugars until you get used to them. So my guess is something else is causing these symptoms. If you are experiencing tightness in the chest I would be concerned about this and recommend an emergency clinic or something just to make sure it isn't heart related.
Is this considered Hypoglycemia even though BS is 114 and if not why does he recover after an increase is sugar., and what can it be?
is it possible in severe cases of hypoglycemia for diabetes-type symptoms to occur when the sugar level gets too high, or would they only happen when the sugar gets below the normal level?
t enough, for the same amount of time, even when my blood sugar registers as normal (I do have a home meter), I am constantly feeling sickly... hard to explain, but I seem to have .. not so much a fatigue, but more like a sick, unwell, uneasy feeling throughout the day, and when my blood sugar becomes low, this feeling I have been having only increases as well as adding in the usual symptoms of hypoglycemia -- sweating, anxiety, feeling faint.
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. I get mixed reviews…some material says eat 6 times a day (impossible since I work in a hospital) some say high protein diet others say not to… I'm just getting so confused as to what is right or wrong or normal and not normal with this. Any suggestions?
Have you heard of insulin resistance? This may be partially to blame for hypoglycemia if it is "rebound", meaning her blood sugars may not sharply exceed the high levels, but if she eats a heavy meal -especially one high in simple carbohydrates- several hours later it "crashes" giving her hypoglycemia. It was explained to me that the insulin triggers becomes overreactive and dump a large amount of insulin in response to the free sugars in her system.
Recently I have been suffering from anxiety attacks and light headedness. Done a fasting blood sugar test and it seems I have high blood sugar levels. Than this be the result of my anxiety attacks
