Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia and exhaustion

hypoglycemia

Avatar f tn Without seeing posted results of a recent medical examination it is difficult to draw a conclusion as to why your glucose levels drop when on Prednisone [not spelling]. Usually Prednisone raises glucose levels, not lower. One thing to note is if you have been on Prednisone for more than one month, it is important that you do not stop it "cold turkey.
Avatar n tn t tell you. I would suggest that you maybe treat it as if it may be caused by hypoglycemia, and when you feel funny like this, drink a half cup or so of juice, followed by some protein like nuts. See if this alleviates the symptoms or not. Check out the website www.hypoglycemia.org to learn more about hypoglycemia.
Avatar m tn s, nurses, allied health and dietitians many questions and even joined a Hypoglycemia support group, and I found out that diet alone helped me through my darkest hours...I am not joking. I sincerely believe that TYPE 2 can be almost eradicated and also insulin resistance /hypoglycemia too, all these can pretty much be non existent, just from changing our diet...
Avatar f tn 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? I do have a blurry vision, but it's not constant, comes and goes. Thank you!
Avatar n tn Hi harley, as you may already know we are not medical professionals here but volunteers living with or caring for someone who has diabetes. I have had Type I diabetes for 12 years. As far as your son's symptoms are concerned I think whether or not it's diabetes you should have him get checked out by his pediatrician.
Avatar f tn It is rarely visible to the eye and may be heightened by strong emotion (such as anxiety or fear), physical exhaustion, hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, heavy metal poisoning, stimulants, alcohol withdrawal or fever. It can be seen in all voluntary muscle groups and can be detected by extending the arms and placing a piece of paper on top of the hands. Enhanced physiologic tremor is a strengthening of physiologic tremor to more visible levels.
Avatar n tn my grandad then di pass away, by this time i was exhausted, constantly having panic attacks, i became weaker and my allergies were becoming stronger, i had a fast heart rate for a day or 2 i tried forcing my self to exercise, i began to have hypoglycemia symptoms and low blood pressure even heart rate became slower, which is actually getting better now.
1773104 tn?1314155711 Certainly hypoglycemia can trigger anxiety and panic, but rarely would it be the sole cause behind it. It is common for someone new to anxiety to do serious soul searching to try and find a logical "reason" behind the new emergence of anxiety and panic. We turn into detectives and try to find a sensible reason why it showed up (most times seemingly "out of the blue").
Avatar f tn Deficient kidney mineralization and function, overuse of stimulants, environmental pollution and stress contribute to adrenal toxicity and exhaustion, leading to adrenal atrophy. Serious adrenal dysfunction can cause electrolyte and carbohydrate metabolism imbalances, resulting in circulatory collapse and hypoglycemia.
Avatar f tn i really dont know what is it i feeal very bad when ever i take heavy meal at night containing meat and rice and every thing ,, the problem is that i should stay at night after eating the meal for 4 hours before sleep or i get those very bad symptoms when i sleep whithin the 4 hours of meal ,, when i do that -taking heavey meal ans sleeping within the 4 hours - i get brain goggginess ,mild headache, sevre depression that wakes me up feel very bad , sensitive to light , no concentration , am sur
Avatar n tn well this could be the hypoglycemia, i too have it but dont often have symptoms because i eat constantly and eat candy often. but i am no doctor so you should definately ask your doctor about it. hypoglycemia seems to be thought of as not serious, but in fact its just as serious as diabetes, and also can progress like diabetes. you may have been told this 5 years ago but it may have progressed to a higher level. it could be worse. you need to have your doctor check your blood sugar levels.
Avatar n tn Have you had a glucose tolerance test to see if your body produces too much insulin as a reaction when you eat? This is a different test from having a simple blood sugar test -- you must drink a sugary solution and blood is drawn several times to see how your body is reacting. Unfortunately, when people have what is called REACTIVE HYPOGLYCEMIA (when the body reacts by over-producing insulin, which causes hypoglycemia), it can be difficult to show in a test.
407651 tn?1224189895 My daughter and I both have reactive hypoglycemia with our dysautonomia, and we aren't diabetic either. We have a blood sugar tester, and never eat sugar without some kind of protein. We were told that it's not unusual to have reactive hypoglyscemia with our autonomic symptoms. My daughter is also very sensitive to all kinds of medications.
Avatar n tn Hi Welcome to the MedHelp forum! If you have headaches and hot flashes and lightheadedness with a feeling of passing out, you could be having either polycystic ovarian disease (in females) or GERD with or without H pylori infection. These are the two conditions to be ruled out first.
Avatar n tn You may not know that a dry mouth which can feel like thirst is one of the symptoms of hypoglycemia as well as diabetes. And logic tells us that if your mouth is dry and you are drinking lots of fluids, you will urinate often. I am a tightly-controlled type 1 diabetic, and the dry mouth feeling that I get when my glucose is low is almost identical to the sensation of having high blood sugar.
Avatar m tn yes, i was diagnosed with hypoglycemia of some kind, at the doctors office my blood pressure was 70/50 i felt dizzy, its always low, and my resting heart rate is 45 or so , and i do smoke which i think is wierd, i used to exercise a little, plus i also take klonopin and zoloft......
Avatar n tn Is hypoglycemia the same as diabetes? What's the difference between type 1 and type2 diabetes? is it the age of the person that makes the difference between the two types?
Avatar n tn Many people have some hypoglycemia(through increased insulin sensitivity) after they exercise and the effect can last for hours afterwards. If you are on insulin, you can decrease your dose prior to exercising. Otherwise, you can eat some additional carbs prior to exercising and also afterwards, with some complexed in a meal so that it lasts for a while to prevent hypoglycemia later.
Avatar n tn If not, then perhpas the narcotic medication is to blame and another medication should be considered. Pain is miserable, but hypoglycemia can be life-threatening (especially when driving), so an alternative medication would perhaps be the smarter approach even if pain is not treated quite as well with it.
Avatar f tn Trembling, fatigue and headaches after meals may be caused by postprandial hypoglycemia or reactive hypoglycemia. To verify this diagnosis, you need to check your blood sugar level ( a blood glucose level that falls below 70mg/dL). This condition usually occurs in individuals who do not have diabetes. Associated symptoms include sweating, dizziness, anxiety, confusion, weakness and difficulty with speech.
Avatar f tn I have hep c and recently diagnosed woith hypoglycemia im very scared what will happen to me TY KRISTINE SMITH
1654177 tn?1319838494 I seem to keep my weight down too easily these days, I eat a lot, and I only mildly exercise (walking, hiking and pilates). Anyway, I told my doctor at Kaiser and she ran a random blood glucose test (non-fasting). My blood sugar was 68 ml/dl, the standard range is 70-140 ml/dl. She says to just eat less carbs and do more cardio exercise, and that this could be pre-diabetes. The part that concerns me is the numb feet.
Avatar f tn Actoplusmet along with diet has caused daily reading to be perfectly between 80 and 120 and A1C levels have averaged between 5.5 and 5.0. This is all without any exercise program (I do stand and walk all day, but that's all). All of this is to say that I want to take as few medications as possible. I was also prescribed Lexapro, Lamictal, and Welbutrin for dystymia and anxiety. I recently taperd off the Lexapro.
Avatar n tn If not, I would go back to your PCP and request a full panel blood test for thyroid, metabolic panel, adrenals and Vit D and DHEA and B12. I would not wait until May to get this done but keep your appt. with endo.
6918915 tn?1395932871 I suddenly get very light headed, dizzy, anxious, hot, sweaty and STARVING. I think this is hypoglycemia but not totally sure and I'm going to ask my doctor on Monday at my appt. It happened here and there a few weeks ago but now it's been happening every day and its awful. I end up literally stuffing my face with anything I can find that has sugar because my body feels like that's my only instinct. Then after like 20 minutes of eating and putting my head down I feel better.
