The rise in blood glucose levels after eating stimulates the pancreas to secrete the hormone
Common Questions and Answers about The rise in blood glucose levels after eating stimulates the pancreas to secrete the hormone
blood-glucose
However,I was under the impression that adrenaline caused glucose to be released from the kidneys and in turn it would cause blood sugar to rise????"
Adrenaline raises glucose levels by stimulating the liver to change glycogen into glucose. When normal glucose regulation fails with type 2 diabetics, the kidneys are forced to remove excess glucose via the urinary tract. This usually is caused by insulin deficiency. In your case this does not apply.
These secrete huge amount of insulin in response to food and the person has hypoglycemia or low blood sugar just after eating. Diagnosis is by doing blood sugar levels fating, after food and through glucose challenge test. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult your doctor regarding these possibilities and treatment options discussed.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Your pancreas is not dead! Diabetes type 1 is when the immune system destroys part of the pancreas that produces insulin, but leaves the rest perfectly intact. Type 2 is when nothing is destroyed, but for some reason, you're either not producing enough insulin, or the insulin that you produce is not efficient enough. There's a clear distinction between the two, as type 1 is autoimmune 'disease'. In all cases the pancreas is still performing all the other functions correctly.
We are told it has something to do with when he eats and the food sits in his stomach a hormone or something chemical stimulates the pancreas to shoot EXCESSIVE insulin. Our gastros can't figure it out and our endocrinologists can't either? We are in Miami, Florida. He is basically going into hypoglycemic comas and the glucagon does not work anymore. I am at my wits end. Someone out there please help....Thank you.
You're overdue with seeing a doctor to redo those tests. Please ask for an OGTT, an A1c test, and check your pancreas C-Peptide levels. Reason I say this is at first you say "My fasting is 100" then "fasting glucose tends to be rising over the years. It used to be 70-80 range." Along this line if eating makes you feel better after exercising and "if I don't eat breakfast.
For reference, insulin is produced in the pancreas by beta cells. To monitor insulin production by beta cells in the pancreas and to help determine hypoglycemia ask for a C-Peptide test. As I stated earlier ask for a thyroid test too. These two tests should go hand-in-hand to help determine why your postprandial glucose drops so rapidly.
What is important for diabetics is to control that rise and fall so that the blood glucose remains with in the "normal" range.
Because you are experiencing other health problems, I would recommend that you speak with your doctor about your concerns. Additionally if you are attempting a strict diet change such as paleo you should speak with your doctor first. It is always a good idea to speak with your doctor before starting a new diet or exercise program.
I hope this helps.
so for some people eating carbohydrates, carbs causes the BG to rise this causes the pancreas to make insulin if the pancreas does not stop making insulin the BG drops once the BG is gone.
some people have relefe from hypoglycemia by restricting the amount of carbs they eat.
Foe some people eating smaller meals more often helps.
Im NOT an MD.
I would suggest that you make an appointment to see your doctor and ask if you can have a glucose intolerance test and do a HBA1C blood test. a HBA1C blood test will show the average glucose levels in the blood stream over a period of approximately 3 months.
It may be that you have an insulin intolerance. This means that your pancreas is producing insulin, but this is not being used adequately by your body.
Over a period of time, body cells can become less sensitive to the insulin, which means we have to produce more in order to reduce the glucose levels.
Exercise and diet will go a long way toward avoiding full blown Diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition, which can’t be avoided or cured.
Some of these are waiting too long between meals, exercise which burns up sugars in the body and speeds up metabolism (and also insulin production), eating foods very high in carbohydrates (which overstimulate the pancreas and cause a hypoglycemic episode shortly after eating the high-carb food, or even in the case of one close friend, taking vitamins containing chromium triggered hypoglycemic episodes until the vitamins were stopped.
This sudden drop in blood sugar levels is due to your pancreas releasing too much insulin to counteract the sudden high blood sugar levels that occurred from eating the aforementioned food types. Blood sugars suddenly plunge below normal because of the release of insulin from the over reactive pancreas.
When your glucose levels go high, suddenly drop, then rise again and yo-yo's this way throughout the day it wreaks havoc on your cardio system.
Prunes, raisons, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, oranges, pink grapefruit, cantaloupe, apples and pears. Antioxidants help to protect the liver from the high levels of free radicals that are naturally produced during the process of detoxification.
Apples.
Apples contain pectin that bind to heavy metals in the body (in particular in the colon) and help their excretion. This reduces the load on the liver and its detoxification capacities.
Artichoke.
some people find that when exposed to things that they are allergic to, their glucose levels rise dramatically, and if the allergies are due to pollens, this problem goes away when they stay inside. This could affect daytime glucose levels and not night levels if you are outside breathing pollens during the day. This is only an issue for allergic folks, though.
A few months ago my 15-year old son passed out for reason - just crumpled to the floor while standing in the kitchen. I grabbed my glucose meter and checked - he was around 115 (looking back I probably just caught it as it was crashing). Last month my son and I came back from a family birthday party (cake, ice cream, pizza) and my son went into his room. He grabbed a Mountain Dew and took *ONE* swallow. He said he was really dizzy and getting tired.
