Blood sugar drop fast
Common Questions and Answers about Blood sugar drop 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.
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.
Has anyone had a low blood sugar level during pregnancy im 8wks & 2days and i swaer im going to drop to the floor im not due back to my doctors till i am 12 wks.
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 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!
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 am a diabetic and my doctor told me that if my blood sugar drop below 65 I should take agreed emergency actions which could include an emergency room visit, ingestion of a sweet drink like a cola or quick disolving glucose tablets and continued monitoring of my glucose level.. I am not advising you to do what I do--I am saying see your doctor or PA.
Thats what my provider told me, Again---You need to get specific giudance from your diabetes health care providers.
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,...
Told i was pre-diabetic based on fasting BS of around 125. Started monitoring and sugars rarely go below 100. Even on days when I work through lunch and forget to eat, I notice my sugar drops very very slowly. Like between 8:30-4:30 one day, i forgot to do lunch. BS started around 110 after breakfast cereal and was still 90 8hrs later. So 90 after about 20hrs without food except that bowl of cereal and milk at 8:30.
Anything with carbs is going to spike your blood sugar. If your trying to stabilize blood sugar, I would recommend eating lots of protein and vegetables. As for carbs, choose the healthy carbs or brown rice and more slow digesting carbs. That way your blood sugar won't rise as high or fast.
I'm type 1 diabetic and pregnant, so u have been testing blood sugar like crazy for a good amount of my life.
Is 130 high for blood sugar?
Take your insulin, then eat your dinner, then test your blood sugar 2 hours after starting to eat dinner. Your blood sugar should ideally not be higher than 40 units above your predinner number (ie. 140).
Don't eat anything further (unless you go low early) and then test again at 3 and 5 hours. If you are low by 5 hours you will need to take a lower dose of insulin the next evening - reduce by say 2 units.
I have mine blood sugar test in 2 days. I'm so nervous. Any suggestions ...
s endocronologist said that sometimes adrenaline can make your blood sugar rise. Maybe you could do some research on adrenaline and blood sugars rising. I had never heard of this before, but it makes sense. I am thinking that being a firefighter would take alot of adrenaline and would be stressful too. Stress makes my blood sugars rise very high too.
