hypoglycemia

1770925 tn?1365618522 I have hypoglycemia for years and I don't eat sugary foods or fried foods. I eat small meals 6 times a day. Fruit and vegetables and soy products. Just fish etc. I am just saying that small meals often is the way to go with hypoglycemia.This eating regime helps my sugar stay level and not low, but if I stress the sugar drops and ginger helps me. I am not on any medication. See your Dr for advice.
Avatar n tn If one has hypoglycemia from diabetes and gastroparesis, using ginger capsules with apple juice can literally save one's life. Great success compelling gastric emptying can be had with 3 capsules of Nature's Way Ginger Root, available at: King Soopers grocery store (probably Kroger too) http://www.vitacost.com/natures-way-ginger-root-550-mg-180-vegetable-capsules-1 http://www.naturesway.
Avatar m tn Our 16 year old daughter has been having symptoms since school started. We just thought it was her hypoglycemia acting up and really watched her diet. The symptoms became worse, pain in her heart, almost passing out, etc. We took her back to the family doctor who took her heart rate from a supine position then standing and indicated he feels she may suffer from POTS syndrome and referred us to you. We were unable to get an appointment with you until December 12th.
1654177 tn?1319838494 Hi everybody! In the past 3 months, I wake up in the morning and my feet are numb. After I get up and walk around the numbness goes away within about 5-10 minutes. I also urinate often and get fatigues (which may be normal, plus I drink a lot of water). 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).
Avatar f tn Then I read about applying honey, which seemed to lessen the burn, but after a day they started to burn like before. Perhaps I applied the products too often? I found Neosporin Lip Health, Overnight Renewal Therapy (with white petroleum) and it has seemd to help as lips not as red or burning. I'm wondering if this is an allergery or just sunburned or severly chapped?
Avatar n tn One, it guarantees a very high profit margin for these products. Two, it also ensures that these products will be available for reimbursement through major insurance providers thereby avoiding a consumer market demand for lower pricing. It is easy to infer a conspiracy by the major pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure that they keep their "consumers" at a specific level of health management in order to provide them with a veritable cash cow.
Avatar n tn 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. I have known people with classic symptoms who surely suffer from this problem who have had negative results from glucose tolerance tests. This is because there are so many factors that can contribute to hypoglycemia -- stress, hormones, activity, what foods you eat, and a myriad more.
Avatar f tn None of these products will rid you of hep C. When I was sick with decompensated cirrhosis I took a number of different supplement prescribed to me by an herbalist who is an MD. She made it clear that they could help with my symptoms and my side effects during treatment but no herbs or supplements would cure me of the virus. I can not say whether they helped or not. She advised me to begin interferon tx, and I did, seeing her as well. You may want to have your vit D levels checked.
Avatar m tn I have always felt sugar, especially corn sugar (high fructose corn syrup) which is in almost every commercial product one eats (not just baked goods and sweets, but in canned produce, cereal products includine baked products, drinks, hot dogs, lunch meats, sauces, literally almost everything commercially made).
Avatar n tn You need to get her to either an Emergency Center tonight or your Vet first thing tomorrow morning......You may have waited too long....A tiny Chi (Especially a puppy) cannot go without nourishment for this long....Without food, tiny dogs can go into hypoglycemic shock....Plus, the diarrhea you speak of in your other post will cause dehydration....Dehydration alone can be deadly....Do not force feed her, but you need to get liquids in her till you can get her to a Vet.....
Avatar n tn t know much about pre-diabetes, however, I do know that hypoglycemia is a condition, in and of itself, that requires medical treatment. I have heard that some people with hypoglycemia develop diabetes at some point in their lives, but many do not. Hypoglycemia is a condition, according to my understanding, where your body metabolizes the sugars you eat very quickly, essentially leaving your body without the fuel it needs to run on.
Avatar f tn Chronic dizziness, fatigue, lightheadeness, nausea, extreme belching(sometimes hundreds of times a day), diagnosed last year with a rare form of hypoglycemia.. Reactive Hypoglycemia. I suffer random spells of tachycardia, & chest discomfort. Ive seen 3 cardiologists & had every test minus a heart cath(I tried to get thst, but told NO). Including: 3 stress tests, 5 holters, 3 echos, 5 ekgs & blood work 3 times since 2013. Nothing found other than mild pvcs, & tachycardia.
Avatar f tn In fact the transplant center should be his primary source from all treatment options, diet and exercise to keep him healthy and strong to prevent or slow the progress of his liver disease. All we can provide is a general diet as we are not aware of his true condition and any other medical problems he may have. He should be talking to his hepatologist regarding any questions he has as only his hepatologist knows the true nature and extent of his illness.
Avatar n tn (You did not mention that your a type 2 diabetic) Metformin is a great drug but has many potential interactions with other medication, herbal supplements, and over the counter products. I want you to pay close attention to the following safety comments that they put in their own literature (Pub Med Health) and count how many of the side effects listed match your complaints: "You may experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) while you are taking this medication.
Avatar f tn t touch any additional problems with hypoglycemia. So hypoglycemia probably should be ruled out so it does not complicate the issue. If hypoglycemia is suspected, then you should try to keep some sort of juice handy and drink a small quantity if you start to feel "off" at all just so as to make sure that this is not the cause. I happen to be a tightly-controlled diabetic who occasionally does find myself hypo and I have learned to really listen to what my body is telling me.
Avatar m tn These are due to something called covert hypoglycemia. Intensive treatment to control diabetes by certain drugs leads to hypoglycemia which may not be recognised by the body. These hypoglycemic episodes are the cause of weakness and loss of energy.
Avatar f tn I have hep c and recently diagnosed woith hypoglycemia im very scared what will happen to me TY KRISTINE SMITH
Avatar f tn This has happened once 2 years ago, I would get hungry or really hungry for that matter at work and i would get shakey internally, sometimes i'd get very warm (I have panic disorder aswell so some of these symptoms could be associated with that) As soon as I eat, 10 mins or so the shaking stops. Not all the time I can get up and go eat at work. But in the past 4 months it's happened three more times. I was just wondering if this could be hypoglycemia?

Avatar f tn What is the best, cheapest and most available treatments for hep c, and from your experience how bad off are you if the virus is affecting your blood sugar?
Avatar n tn I am a 41 year old female that has hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia and am trying to lose some weight, about 10 to 15 pounds. I take meds for my thyroid, watch what I eat and exercise 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hrs a day 5 times a week. I've tried following a low blood sugar diet and was able to lose about 4-5 lbs the first week, but for the next 5 weeks I lost nothing. This last week I went off the diet slightly and gained 2-3 lbs. back. Am I eating the wrong things?
Avatar f tn 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. However, and this is a problem for you, most natural products that lower cortisol also lower blood sugar, which means you have a problem using natural adrenal balancers until you discover what in your diet is leaving you with low blood sugar.
