Why does blood sugar drop so fast
Common Questions and Answers about Why does blood sugar drop so fast
blood-sugar
My blood sugar is 78, feeling cold and jittery and wondering if that is too high of a number to be causing it. Since last Thursday I have been unable to eat much, and what I do eat has been immediately removed (diarrhea). I was diabetic in my last pregnancy and still needing to lose weight so I have been checking my sugars just to see if maybe that is why I feeling so low right now. Thanks for the help.
my husband was 2yrs post liver transplant, that is the one reason why he is also now suffering from monitor blood sugar problem. my question now is about fluctition of his blood glucose, we have a kit monitoring it before and after meal, but there was time when we check it is high then after just a minute it drop down, we are really worried why is this happening? hoping that anyone could help!
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.
So from April 7th 2008 I will be officially away from Medhelp, but you can still find me at our practice website www.endocrinehelp.com, so please drop me a line if you wish. Most likely a new physician will be hosting the Diabetes forum for Medhelp in the future, so please continue to check in with the Medhelp community.
It is not just the medication that is lowering your blood sugar, but the diet as well. So that is a double whammy. So I should think the quick drop is normal. The question is how high is your fasting blood sugar and do you ever show symptoms of low-blood sugar. By the way, some people can control type II diabetes with diet alone. If while on your diet your blood sugar starts dropping too fast, see your doctor. He/She may want to reduce your medication.
I had a similar situation in my 1st trimester with shaking. Found out my blood pressure & blood sugar would drop at the same time. I would also get very dizzy & heart would race. Not sure if that matches anything you're feeling,but you might wanna get a blood pressure monitor at home & check yourself when you feel like that just to be on the safe side.

I went to the doctor having severe headaches and nausea the reason for going was I was unuable to even function due to the severe headaches that lasted all day everyday when i went to sleep and still there when i woke up.
Is it possible if your iron levels were high and really good in the beginning of my pregnancy to drop and be low now?? I looked up anemia and I have every symptom. As some of you know I've been having problems with dizziness and fainting but its getting out of control I also have problems with breathing and my heart going very fast. I know it can't be dehydration or low blood sugar so I called my dr.

I AM A TYPE 1 DIABETIC FOR 36 YEARS(SINCE AGE14) I HAVE BEEN ON AN INSULIN PUMP FOR THE PAST 9 YEARS. MY BS CONTROL HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY ERRATIC NO MATTER WHAT I DO. HOWEVER, I AM HAVING SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH THE LOWS. MY BLOOD SUGAR WILL SUDDENLY DROP FROM THE 80'S OR 90'S TO THE 40' OR EVEN 30'S. AS A MATTER OF FACT A FEW DAYS AGO I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE I HAD A SEVERE HYPO EPISIDE. IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR THE NURSES, DOCTORS,...
It really depends if u need insulin or pills, if you cant control your blood sugar then you take pills if your blood sugar is not high. But if normally your fasting numbers are high then thats why they put you on insulin. I have a coworker that went straight to insulin and shes a diabetic now but her numbers were crazy high like in the 500 when she did the glucose test. The doc just prob know that pills wont help you.
I also ate pretty healthy before diagnosis, only not healthy for a diabetic. For some of us, whole grains are much better than white; for others so far as blood sugar is concerned, a carb is a carb is a carb. Ditto on fruit, as healthy as it is, we just can't eat too much of it.
As for your morning fasting, I don't know a lot about DP because as a Type 1 I don't experience it, my fasting numbers have always been ok even when my pp's were through the roof.
blood sugar 137 before exercising. After 15 minutes light-to-moderate exercise, it was 85.
One time I felt particularly shaky, and it was 65. I didn't test before, but I felt "normal".
What's worse is that I am getting these drops from even minimal physical activity. As an example: blood sugar 110, after walking at a slow pace (strolling) for a mere 10 minutes, I start to feel a little shaky and my sugar is 78.
Why is it that my blood sugar is higher in the morning than it was prior to going to bed the night before? For example: At night it may read 115 (this is approx. 4 hours after dinner, and no snacking). THEN - first thing in the morning, before I've had anything to eat it reads 135. After having breakfast, right before lunch time it may be 85-90. Thanks for your feedback.
