hypoglycemia

Avatar f tn I had another question I meant to add to my last post. I was put on Metformin when found out I had Insulin resistant Reactive Hypoglycemia. I took for a month & noticed there was no refill. I called nurse & was told they wanted to make sure I was not Diabetic. My question.......what symptoms would I have on Metformin that would be a sign of that & not Hypoglycemia. When I did my glucose test .....think I was tested 5 times....first was 166 and last 44.
Avatar f tn For some people, Metformin can cause glucose [blood sugar] levels to drop too low [hypoglycemia]. This often times happens when Metformin is combined with other diabetes medications, and is more common in elderly folks or folks with internal organ issues. Low glucose also can happen when fasting before surgery or a blood test/s and after lengthy exercise. You should notify your doctor of your low glucose experiences ASAP. Ask your doctor how to adjust your Metformin dose if needed.

Avatar f tn part (which is a characteristic as well of Type II diabetes) in people diagnosed with Reactive Hypoglycemia is related to the chemical process that causes the Hypoglycemia (an excess of insulin). My quick search turned up dozens of articles so you should have no problem getting more information. I would also speak more to your doctor. I'm curious about that 166 blood sugar you mentioned as that is high (hyperglycemic) not low (hypoglycemic). Good luck on figuring it all out.
Avatar m tn the symptoms are like hypoglycemia but I didnt think that could happen if you were just on metformin. after I eat I do feel better. thoughts anybody I am worried about this and I thought I had my Diabetes under control thanks.
Avatar f tn cortisol level was way too high and was having awful hypoglycemic symptoms. Doc put me om Metformin because it helps regulate glucose levels. I want to address the adrenal problem as well. Wondering if taking Seriphos would cause an interaction.
Avatar n tn ) Your symptoms point towards Hypoglycemia and taking Metformin will do more harm than good. Google Hypoglycemia, read and understand how to take control of it. Then 1.) Get a diabtetes A1c test from another doctor. 2.) See a specialist on Bipolar disorders. 3.) See a Nutritionist and/or a Dietitian for your eating disorder. Don't mix these diseases together and treat them individually.
Avatar n tn At that time, I was overweight (75kg) for my height (160cm) and was not careful with my diet, under lot of stress at work and not getting regular exercise. My doctor put me on Metformin (500mg twice a day) and advised me on proper diet and exercise. I lost about 5kg within 5-6 weeks by simply changing my diet and regular exercise (70kg by mid June). However, at the same time I began feeling hypoglycemic after everytime I took Metformin.
587778 tn?1261397118 If you have a family history of fibroids, and you take metformin... you should again reconsider... metformin helps your hormones get in line which should increase estrogen, estrogen is a culprit in fibroids........ YOU NEED RESEARCH, lots of it and another doctor's opinion. Please do not take this lightly, if you live in the USA, you should know they love to just make a diagnosis, and usually do not care if it is exactly accurate..... IT IS YOUR LIFE, YOUR HEALTH.....
Avatar f tn Last week I was diagnosed with insulin resistent Hypoglycemia. I am not obese....although I am overweight by about 25 lbs. I am 36 year old female. My family does have late onset history ( my dad) but he was not diagnosed until late 50's. I do exercise although not everyday. I was put on Metformin to help regulate my Insulin and told to stay away from concentrated sweets. I guess I am a little concerned about this since I am fairly young.
Avatar m tn "When my sugar is really high I will take one extra metformin. Is this okay ?" No, never increase or decrease medication without your doctor's knowledge and permission. You can endanger yourself with a possible hypoglycemia episode. It might be time to see your doctor again as your medication regimen may be in need of adjustment.

Avatar f tn t have the enzymes or not enough enzymes to break down the gluten in the above foods) can cause all of your above symptoms - PCOS, RA, hypoglycemia, etc. It's easy to look this up on the internet. If you'd like to give the diet a try, make sure you take a gluten free multivitamin (like NatureMade brand) and that your medicines don't have gluten. If you need help, just leave me a message.
Avatar n tn The clinical features of this tumor are related to the effects of insulin-and thus primarily demonstrate symptoms related to hypoglycemia which are relieved by food intake. Other general symptoms include episodic sweating, tremor and rapid heart rate, as well as hunger, nausea, weight gain, and sometimes even central nervous system symptoms (including rarely, seizures)." Perhaps these websites can help you find more information on how to deal with this condition.
Avatar f tn These are vague symptoms for hypoglycemia. I would see an Endocrinologist and have some bloodwork done.
