Hypoglycemia glucose level range
Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia glucose level range
hypoglycemia
When you say "I take my 15mcg cytomel 2 in AM and 1 Mid Afternoon", I assume you mean 2 - 5 mcg tablets in the morning and 1 5 mcg tablet Mid-afternoon, is that correct? Have you tried splitting the pills evenly so you're getting 7.5 mcg at each dose? Or take your afternoon dose closer to noon instead of midafternoon?
How could you say he had hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia without knowing what the blood sugars are. He did state that they were in normal range. Palpitations may not even be related to blood sugar.
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.
I have read that after meals, glucose levels can go up to about 146 before a person is considered in the diabetic range. So your glucose readings thus far sound like they would be considered in the normal range of values except for the on at 61. As a diabetic, I know that I can actually start to feel bad when glucose is in the lower 70's even though 70 is considered the lowest level of normal.
You need to treat a low of 40 with glucose tabs. They have 4 grams per tablet and so you can control the dose, and don't risk overeating. For me, two tabs work well, for others they may need more. If you don't have glucose tabs try a glass of oj or some simple sugar such as candy. If you don't have those things, a glass of milk. A chili dog without the bun doesn't have hardly any carbs at all. You need fast acting concentrated carbs.
You don't say if you are a diabetic.
56 mg/dL (range: 65-100). I think that the highest my glucose level has ever been, was 121 (after eating).
My endocrinologist (for Hashimoto's) says that if the problem doesn't go away, I'll get a home glucose meter. Have you ever used one? How does it work?
I'm getting a physical next week, doctors usually run liver function tests during a physical exam right? or do I still need to ask for it? Out of curiosity, how can the liver cause hypoglycemia.
This glycogen conversion into glucose is important in maintaining the blood glucose level. Therefore, during fasting, maintenance of the blood glucose level depends more on glycogen conversion than on sugars we eat. In severe liver disease, this mechanism can be disrupted, leading to hypoglycemia. Kidney failure also can lead to hypoglycemia, especially when the person is deprived of food.

While there is some degree of variability among people, most will usually develop symptoms suggestive of hypoglycemia when blood glucose levels are lowered to the mid 60's. The first set of symptoms are called adrenergic (or sympathetic) because they relate to the nervous system's response to hypoglycemia.
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.
In the past week when he tests his blood at bedtime it is in the normal range - he eats his bedtime snack and takes his usual dose of Novarapid and the NPH insulin. Within a half hour or so, she notices his abnormal behaviour and urges him to re-test. His blood sugar level is less than 2. She is concerned because he had a normal reading less than an hour before and eaten his normal snack - but what could be causing his sugars to be so low at this time?
From what I have read, reactive hypoglycemia is not diagnosed by a fasting glucose blood test alone but rather a GTT/OGTT. Is this your understanding? (If this is a test that women get during their pregnancy, I am surprised that my Doctor didn't suggest it as he delivers babies!)
I eat very little salt. My blood pressure is normal (more on the low end of normal).
t understand the reason people get hypoglycemia. I read online is when diabetic people are taking their medications their sugar level go very low sometimes it can cause Hypoglycemia episodes. Is there any other reason why I would have hypoglycemia if I don't have diabetes?
Also is there a high chance that hypoglycemia can turn to diabetes?
What you are experiencing is called reactive hypoglycemia [or alimentary hypoglycemia] which is low glucose that occurs after a meal — usually one to three hours after eating. What also can be happening is a carb crash caused by eating mashed potatoes and buger bun [white bread]. Eating a meal laden with high carbs can cause your pancreas to kick into overdrive to produce insulin to counteract the onset of sugar from the foods you just consumed. That rush of insulin now creates a yo-yo effect.
Takes a couple of tubes of glucose to bring him out of it. He does not answer appropriately but responds to commands such as stick out your tongue, squeeze my hand after BS is raised to 170 is completely fine. Is this considered Hypoglycemia even though BS is 114 and if not why does he recover after an increase is sugar., and what can it be?
Glucose intake helps quickly. Glucose tolerance test showed erratic insulin, irrelevant to the glucose level. Began about 10 months post gastric bypass surgery, but father had similar episodes and older sister is hypoglycemic. Several months ago, reports published that many post bypass Sx people have benign pancreatic tumors causing hypoglycemia.
Managed Hashimotos well for 10 years. Always had low but within range A1Cs and glucose for as long as I can recall.
Situation:
Last week for several days I had been having severe nonstop heart palpitations after eating (mostly carbohydrates). Finally it got so bad I could feel my heart struggling to pump so I went to the ER, and they referred me to a cardiologist. Cardiologist ran an echo in his office. Nothing was found but PVCs.
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. I just can't keep my level up.
Why does it drop? how can I prevent that?
Your glucose level was only a 61.....you need to read up on hypoglycemia. When your sugar levels are low it will cause massive confusion, fatigue, shakiness, etc. It is aweful when those levels fall....i went out and bought a glucose meter and started testing myself when i had those symptoms and starting charting. Low and behold i was dropping into the 50's and 60's. I started eating something every 2 hrs and modified what i was consuming to help me through these lows.
I have a problem which has been going on for several years and I can't seem to get to the bottom of it. I'm 38 years old and have the following symptoms - an occasional feeling of fatigue in the center of my chest, in my arms and in my legs. It's not a weakness because I still have all my strength. It feels more like a fatigue or cold rubbery sensation. I also notice a slight trembling and twitching in my fingers and thumb.
3-4 hours after meals, or when I'm hungry, I frequently get symptoms such as irritation, heart palpitations, asthma like symptoms feeling like I can't take deep breaths, extreme hunger... most of them go away as soon as I eat something.
Now sounds like hypoglycemia (reactive or whatever) but when I check my blood glucose, it is around 100 a bit more which means it's not hypoglycemia. .
What else may be causing this? My docs say it's not asthma.
