Signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia in infants
Common Questions and Answers about Signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia in infants
hypoglycemia
You may not know that a dry mouth which can feel like thirst is one of the symptoms of hypoglycemia as well as diabetes. And logic tells us that if your mouth is dry and you are drinking lots of fluids, you will urinate often. I am a tightly-controlled type 1 diabetic, and the dry mouth feeling that I get when my glucose is low is almost identical to the sensation of having high blood sugar.
What are her chances of becoming diabetic? Her doctor said hypoglycemia sometimes precedes diabetes in children. Is is possible to "grow out of" hypoglycemia? If so, what are the chances of this happening?
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.
An intravenous blood sample to test your blood sugar level at the time of these signs and symptoms is the only way to know for sure that hypoglycemia is the cause. It's my guess that's what it was and after you ate the apple you felt better. Please see your doctor just to be sure!
s more common in boys and on and on and on! It really freaks a mom out! I had issue with my 2 1/2 year old, he would flap his hand and walk on his tip toes..all of which he has stopped now but those are red flags...but for him it didn't mean anything. He is talking up a storm and is definalty not autistic. I guess sometimes the more you know isn't always a good thing.
you may want to call your local pharmacist and ask if your symptoms (and possibly hypoglycemia) can be an odd side effect of any or all of these antibiotics, and if so, if there are any that do not have this affect. You might also ask if hypoglycemic symptoms could be the result of an allergy to these drugs.
These are vague symptoms for hypoglycemia. I would see an Endocrinologist and have some bloodwork done.
Take the time to Google and learn about Hypoglycemia and also LADA [Latent Autoimmune Disease in Adults] which is a type of Hypoglycemia and often misdiagnosed as Hyperglycemia.
Good luck.
Watch their chest and neck muscles. If they are using those muscles to breathe, get them to a hospital ASAP. The muscles retract showing the underliing structure.
Really, if you are in doubt, don't risk it. Go ahead and have them checked out.
I do recommend that you follow up on Monday with a call to your doctor, and that you begin to keep a good record of your symptoms, timing, and related factors (foods, beverages, exercise, health, stress, etc.) to review with him/her.
Here is a risk-assessment test from the American Diabetes Association: http://www.diabetes.org/risk-test.jsp There is a related organization in Canada.
hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, and it is increasingly prevalent in our society. Hypoglycemia can cause an array of symptoms, including spaciness, fatigue, mood changes, PMS, sugar craving, headaches, difficulty focusing the eyes, tremors, temperamental outbursts, depression, excessive sweating, hot flashes, palpitations, cold extremities, abdominal pain, and panic attacks.
Symptoms in infants and children may include:
Hoarseness
"Barking" or chronic cough
Reactive airway disease (asthma)
Noisy breathing or pauses in breathing (apnea)
Trouble feeding, spitting up, or inhaling food
Trouble gaining weight
With laryngopharyngeal reflux, adults may have heartburn or a bitter taste or burning sensation in the back of the throat. But they are less likely to have such classic signs of GERD.
Have you been tested for hypoglycemia? Breaking out in a sweat is a common symptom of low blood sugar, and it is possible to pass out if the sugar levels get too low. Most healthy people find that their bodies fix the situation pretty quickly once the brain sends out signals for emergency sugars to be released from the liver, which would mean that the symptoms are temporary. So hypoglycemia spells could be the cause of passing out...
however, later studies have not confirmed this finding. Signs of toxicity and symptoms of withdrawal have been reported in infants following high doses or chronic maternal use close to term. Diphenhydramine has been evaluated for the treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum. It is generally not considered the antihistamine of choice for treating allergic rhinitis or nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Breast-Feeding Considerations
Infants may be more sensitive to the effects of antihistamines.
well this could be the hypoglycemia, i too have it but dont often have symptoms because i eat constantly and eat candy often. but i am no doctor so you should definately ask your doctor about it. hypoglycemia seems to be thought of as not serious, but in fact its just as serious as diabetes, and also can progress like diabetes. you may have been told this 5 years ago but it may have progressed to a higher level. it could be worse. you need to have your doctor check your blood sugar levels.

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.
Hi, I am 31yrs old and I have been having the same symptoms that you mentioned. It got to the point that when I get this was instead of walking I sit. I realy don't care who is around or if they look at me funny. I have had this for 12 years and they never find anything wrong with me. rencently my situation has gotten worse to the ponit that my neck , arms, lower back, legs all hurt, in my ear I hear a buzzing. Well I feel we need a great Dr.
The symptoms are exactly what you describe -- light-headed feeling, nausea sometimes, hunger sometimes, dazed feeling, fatigue, headache, hot or cold spells with no reason, unexplained yawning. All of those are possible symptoms, and the symptoms can vary from episode to episode. We do wish you the best in finding the source of your problem.
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.
