Blood glucose after fructose
Common Questions and Answers about Blood glucose after fructose
blood-glucose
In your advice to Jaydee1977, you say and I quote "fruit & fruit juices [fructose aka fruit sugar] also can cause blood sugar to rise". This statement may give the impression that fructose can cause blood sugar (blood glucose) to rise. Is that correct ? The biology that I learned said that in humans, the metabolic pathway /breakdown of fructose does not go via glucose formation.
m a carrier of a Hereditary Fructose Intolerance gene so i thought that was the cause of the low blood sugar. After cutting out all fructose from my diet i still get hypoglycemia. After ingesting pure glucose my sugar goes up and then drops low even faster after 2 hours. I don't think it's diabetes because my morning levels are usually fine, it seems to be reactive after eating. My question is, could my Pituitary have anything to do with this response somehow?
Apples are typical food causing problems in FM. They contain fructose, but the main problem is not fructose itself but high fructose/glucose ratio (amount of fructose greatly exceeding amount of glucose). For example, table sugar (sucrose) contains equal (1:1) amounts of fructose and glucose and is typically well tolerated by many (not all) individuals with FM. It is because glucose enhances absorption of fructose in the small intestine.
) )that my stomach was stripped and now needs to heal and then maybe I can tolerate fructose again. Also, after I drank the fructose solution from the test I had NO symptoms...shouldn't I have had something if I'm drinking a fructose solution....that was on a Friday and I had no problems on Saturday or sunday...yet another question...when I have an offending food...how long until the reaction starts and how long will it/can it last?
Thank you for taking time to read all of this....
This means that it is rapidly metabolized resulting in a rapid increase in blood glucose. This in turn leads to the rapid release of insulin which performs the role of "escorting" the glucose into your cells in order to produce ATP. Simply stated, ATP is what fuels our bodies. However, an individual with type 2 diabetes mellitus does not produce sufficient insulin or is not capable of utilizing endogenous insulin in order to facilitate the transport of glucose into the cells.
will not be absorbed properly and will cause symptoms. (Glucose aids in the absorption of Fructose so if the ratio of glucose is higher then the food is ok.) Trouble is IBS symptoms are not only triggered by Fructose but various other things such as Fructans in wheat or foods that when eaten are converted to Fructans. Other problematic foods: onion, leek asparagus, most beans, lentils etc.
Have you heard of FODMAPS? (Fermentable Oligo-Di- and Mono-saccharides and Polyols.
In diabetes terms glucose is the measured sugar in your blood sample.
Your question is confusing. Are you asking what amount of refined sugar you can consume? If yes, the answer is none. Also, it is important to understand that all fruits contain fructose, fruit sugar. Tropical fruits contain more fructose than berries or melons. Eat in moderation and always test after eating. Your body may not accept fruits in any amount.
For starters, changing lifestyle habits can go a long way in controlling type 2 diabetes. In my eyes, it's a must do. If you decide not to change, diabetes becomes a progressive disease only getting worse over time ending with neurothapy and amptutation. You and only you can control and manage this disease. Here's how.
t make the difference when talking about sugars because even if it is fructose, lactose or sucrose or glucose and even if it's from a candy or a vegetable, in the end they will all end up being glucose in your body. What does make a point tho is that complex carbohydrates take longer time to break down in your body to that means the blood glucose remains more stable. Complex carbohydrates are startchy food like patatoes, rice and pastas.
ve had mild ache in right abdominal area off and on for months, sometimes after fatty meals, all else fine. Then two weeks ago I tossed two aspirin down on a semi-empty stomach, awoke with stomach pain, bloating, tenderness,nausea. I saw the doc who checked for appendicitis. I also had had a fatty meal earlier that day. Assuming a gall bladder problem, I decided to avoid fats. Took several days for the nausea to go away.
All foods may be eaten in moderation if you have diabetes, but too many carbohydrates may increase your blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates break down into sugars easily, so healthy carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes such as beans and peas and low-fat dairy products should constitute the majority of this food group.
Test before a meal for a baseline measurement then 2-3 hours after a meal to see how the foods you ate affected you blood sugar levels. Postprandial, 2-3 hrs after a meal, you want to see <141 mg/dl, optimum <121 mg/dg. Anything higher implies an incorrect nutrition plan, poor food choices.
"My blood sugars are running 308 this week and last night it drop to 219 and gave me a headache."
Happens to people whose blood sugars remain a constant HIGH.
