Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia levels are
hypoglycemia
Sometimes even just below 80, I can experience symptoms of hypoglycemia. I believe this is usually when my levels are on the way down, dropping quickly. And exercise can cause levels to drop for over a day after the exercise... sometimes as long as 2 days.
His symptoms do sound suspiciously like hypoglycemia. All of the things you mentioned are symptoms that can appear when glucose is low.
The test that we recommend in the United States to check for hypoglycemia is a glucose tolerance test. I suspect from some of the foods you are listing that you do not live in the United States, so I don't know what this test would be called in your country.
lately my blood sugar levels have been dropping low then spiking after i eat, which is making me vomit, is this hypoglycemia, or something different?
I do think that you can feel it when your glucose levels are perhaps normal but are in the process of dropping quickly. In my case, I trust my symptoms and treat it as if I am low even if the number is normal. You probably want to do the same. The symptoms are pretty unmistakeable when you know what to look for.
It sounds as if you have nailed the symptoms down well. I truly swear by small 6-oz cans of juice.
i am sure the hypoglycemia was a symptom of the thyroid condition because when my numbers are better i have no hypoglycemia but when i start having hypoglycemia i know its time for my t3 meds.
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. Due to this it was decided that I would take the medication only once per day instead of twice.
In situations of pre-diabetes, we often hear that people have bouts of hypoglycemia. This happens when the glucose levels start to rise too much and the person's body over-compensates by producing too much insulin. Many hypoglycemic folks eventually do end up being diabetic after the pancreas wears itself out and is no longer able to lower those glucose levels. Most doctors recommend a diet fairly low in carbohydrates to avoid stimulating the already over-active pancreas.
In people without diabetes, hypoglycemia can result from the body producing too much insulin after a meal, causing blood sugar levels to drop. This is called reactive hypoglycemia. Reactive hypoglycemia can be an early sign of diabetes. https://www.diabetes.
Is severe Hypoglycemia a sign of Diabetes? I have had a normal fasting blood tests. My hypoglycemia strikes with no warning many times throughout the day, even as soon as an hour after my meals. I have to carry glucose tablets and orange juice with me at all times. When it falls low I cannot function. The last really bad episode of this I could hardly breathe, complete mental confusion, weak all over, headache, heart palpitations, very scary to say the least.
I posted the answer originally and now am wondering if you are perhaps NOT a diabetic at all, but perhaps have come to this web site seeking to find out what the normal ranges of glucose are. Your question about hypoglycemia leads me to wonder if you have a glucometer at all. If not, then you cannot check for hypoglycemia yourself, so your questions are smart ones. I do apologize if I misunderstoon originally and thought that I was answering a diabetic who was taking the medication Elavil.
These are vague symptoms for hypoglycemia. I would see an Endocrinologist and have some bloodwork done.
They are absolutely wrong in saying that hypoglycemia cannot cause seizures. A very severe low like the one your son had CAN indeed cause seizures. And those seizures stop as soon as the blood sugar levels are normalized. Usually, some twitching of muscles, sometimes shaking hands, sometimes twitch to face, happens first, so watch for those symptoms. I would suggest that you look very carefully at his diet, avoiding all high-glycemic index foods and caffeine.
ve done a little research on pancreatic tumors, as they relate to hypoglycemia, and below are excerpts from a couple of websites, which I would encorage you to look at:

"Occasionally, a person who has MEN1 (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1) develops an islet tumor of the pancreas which secretes high levels of pancreatic hormones other than gastrin.
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?
I have been recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, i guess about 2 months now. During the summer I continued to run cross country, and after about 2 weeks I figured out how to keep my levels up enough for practice. Now that school has started my whole routine has changed. I've changed from practicing at 7 in the mornign to 3:45 in the afternoon, and first I couldn't practice, but then I got the hang of it and my levels were conrolled.
can you tell me which lab tests I should be sure to get for a thorough evaluation? Do I need things such as insulin levels, cortisol, etc.? Are there other tests outside the lab I would need to be sure something serious isn't wrong with me? And, I know you can't diagnose me over the internet, but what do you think is wrong with me? What does your gut tell you? Also, any weight loss advice with my symptoms?
Thank you.
