hypoglycemia

Avatar f tn Went for a normal physical with fasting labs. I got a call from my doctor two days later and my glucose was 56. They were concerned about me being possibly hypoglycemic. Been checking it on and off and reading a lot on the subject but no definite answer as to what I need to be watching for in the future. 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.
Avatar f tn I have been having problems with LOW BLOOD SUGAR. I am NOT a diabetic. Example: this morning i was dizzy, glucose was 115. I had a cup of yogurt, 30 mins later my level dropped to 95. After eating breakfast { 1 egg, 2 pcs whole wheat toast and 1 Tbsp peanut butter it dropped to 78. I can not seem to maintain my level and have been dizzy, nausuous and all the other symptons. It is hard to eat 6 meals a day as I work. I try to eat whole grains, and don't use sugar.
Avatar n tn Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. As a fasting blood glucose result, 80 is on the low end of the ok range, but it is in the ok range. If your daughter will develop diabetes, or just hypoglycemia, there is nothing known that you can do to prevent it. You can keep your family, daughter included, more healthy through exercise and a better diet with more fruits and grains, for example, but that won't stop hypoglycemia in your daughter.
1662361 tn?1302762372 I am 23, I know I am over weight, I diet and exercise but never loss weight. I have been test for diabetes since I was 12, and my levels have always been low. I have noticed lately tho when I test because my mom and grandma are diabetic that my sugar levels are from 50 to maybe 75 no matter what I eat. I snack on granola and some times hard candy and sometimes cookies. I just feel sick all the time, and dizzy and i get really shaky and, Nothing I have been doing is working.
Avatar f tn I don't think this supplement will do anything for your adrenals, though it might help your memory. There are herbs called adaptogens that probably will be more effective and have much longer usage history to prove their effectiveness, for example, holy basil and ashwagandha will help balance the adrenals.
Avatar f tn I have been having extreme bouts of hypoglycemia, back to back, making the ms feel ten times worse, was just wondering is there a link between having me, and suffering from frequent episodes of low blood sugar, especially in the morning?
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with type II diabetes, and my physician at the time immediately put me on actoplusmet (no discussion of diet and excersise control first). I told him that I previously had gestational diabetes that once on diet alone caused my blood sugar levels to drop so low that the meter read in the 40's and sometimes just LOW. The nutritionsts then changed my diet so that it was double portion sizes and everything read perfectly.
Avatar n tn Several months ago, reports published that many post bypass Sx people have benign pancreatic tumors causing hypoglycemia. Seems, though, no one yet sure if those tumors should be removed -- it corrects hyppoglycemia, but no one knows how long it will be before more grow. My doctors feel it best to try to treat the unstable insulin, but the endocrinologist admits he is going through uncharted territory and merely "guessing" what to do. I was put on Metformin (Glucophage) 500 mg.
Avatar f tn This happens usually every day atleast sometime and its worrying me, because I want to be able to do the things I enioy For example I was leaned over cutting a piece of clothing to use as a rag, and when i got back up i felt nauseous and dizzy. This can happen even if im sitting in a chair doing something and get back up. I dont have the best diet, i eat alot of take out and junk, and dont exercise regularly. Could this be it?
1353650 tn?1429463374 A test you can do with your mom is a strict diet for a week. The diet consists of no sugar allowed, no artificial sugar, no honey etc., no caffeine, no white flour, 5-6 meals a day that consist of 20mg or less of carbs and 10mg or less of protien. The carbs need to be complex carbs. For example; brown rice, triskets, wheat chex, whole grain bread. Drink only water, water with lemon, and herbal teas without caffeine. The protien should be chicken, turkey or fish.
Avatar m tn Some people (for instance, the folks who put out the Atkins diet) believe that the high-carbohydrate diet that is typical of the American way of life is perhaps to blame for so many people having hypoglycemia.
Avatar n tn Hi Airedale: My name is Roberto and I', 29 years old. I live in Chihuahua, Mexico and also suffer from hypoglycemia (without diabetes). I have been doing lots of research and I hope we can help eachother. I just had a 5 hrs. glucose tolerance test and in two ocassions my blood sugar dropped to 41 mg/dL (2.27 mmol/dL). I am having a hard time to get a good doctor who can help me with this problem.

956433 tn?1255977108 good eating habbits are key in treating BOTH anxiety and hypoglycemia separately...that's no different if you have them both together. while there are many routes in treating anxiety...all of those routes are aided by good diet. i've yet to hear of one thats aided by a poor diet, but i suppose all is possible...though certainly not probable. obviously the frontline treatment of hypoglycemia is good diet. with this in mind, it's reasonable to assume good diet can only benefit you.
Avatar n tn Hi - I'm new here. I have pre-diabetes (about 2 years now) and have autoimmune degenerative neuropathy (CIDP for 26 years) unrelated to diabetes. I am not overweight, and am 32 years of age. My question is: does inflammation in the nervous system cause alterations in glucose metabolism? I'm currently having multiple daily bouts of hypoglycemia - my doctors can't/won't answer my question. I'm taking IVIG, Imuran and Ultram - no steroids or antidiabetics.
Avatar n tn IF this IS hypoglycemia, you can do a lot to help yourself by making some changes in diet. Folks who live with hypoglycemia often avoid all forms of caffiene, which can speed up the body's functions and therefore increase the pancreas' dump of insulin. Also, many hypoglycemic people avoid all simple sugars and many find some relief in staying on a fairly low carb diet so as not to stimulate the over-active pancreas.
Avatar f tn The medications we have tried are not helping her either. She has tried high sodium diet with lots of water as well as several medications. She has gotten to the point that she can't even go to school. She is on home bound where a teacher comes by twice a week to drop off and pick up school work. It's so frustrating....more so because this is their Senior year and they shouldn't have to be worried about this when they have so much they should be doing.
Avatar n tn Recently I started passing out and my doctor ordered a 5 hour fasting. About hour 3 I crashed to a blood sugar level of about 37. I have met with a nutritionist and I am trying to adhere to this diet. However, it isn't making me feel any better. My head is very cloudy and I have difficulty concentrating. My head hurts constently and I can't sleep well at night. My eyes burn and sometimes I just feel like I am zoned out.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia many years ago but never gave it much thought or consideration. When I felt sick or faintish after not eating for many hours I would just grab something quick and ignor the whole matter. I didn't think hypoglycemia was anything to worry about until lately. Over the last couple of months I've experiecened tingling and numbness in my hands, feet, lips and felt tingling sensations all over my body.
1080243 tn?1262975363 How quickly your blood sugar drops influences the symptoms of hypoglycemia. For example, if it takes a few hours for your blood sugar to drop 50 mg/dL (3 mmol/L), the symptoms may be minimal. If your blood sugar drops the same amount in a few minutes, the symptoms will be more pronounced. Anyone who has diabetes is at risk of a diabetic coma. Risk factors for the conditions that may lead to a diabetic coma vary, however.
2088051 tn?1334542007 So I Was Diagnosed With Hypoglycemia When I Was 15.. I'm 18 Now. It Seems Like It's Gotten Worse As I've Gotten Older. I'll Eat.. Then Not Even An Hour Later, I'll Start Shaking. This Stuff Is Horrible. I Just Need To Know If It's Because I'm Not Eating Enough Or It's Because Of The Food I Eat. Help!
Avatar n tn (I think he was embarassed to call and say I was having leg cramps). I told him this was something more than just leg cramps. The hypoglycemia episode followed by SEVERE leg cramps and then nausea concerns me. I have hypoglycemia episodes once or twice a week but do try and control the with diet and excercise. Sometimes I really do not know why they come, yesterday was one of those instances. I have NEVER had any sort of cramps or nausea following an episode. Is this normal? Common?
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.
