How do you experience hypoglycemia in diabetes?

besides taking too much insulin can this happen naturally? it never happend to me before but my uncle who is type 2,without insulin,had to go to the ER for severe hypoglycemia.

So i’m little confused since diabetes is "usually" high blood sugar.. correct me if i’m wrong please!

You are absolutely correct, my friend, diabetes mellitus IS about high blood glucose (sugar) levels.

Insulin is NOT the only way that a diabetic patient might experience hypoglycaemia [hypoglycemia, if you prefer the American spelling]. Certain anti-diabetes drugs (tablets) can also cause blood glucose levels to fall to the point that hypoglycaemia is experienced, as can missing meals (or being late with them), and harder than ‘normal’ amounts of exercise/work.

Does your uncle not get ‘warning signs’ when his blood glucose level is falling? (Some of these warning signs could include feeling nauseous, a jittery or nervous feeling, a rapid heartbeat, mood changes, blurred vision, and difficulty walking. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to loss of consciousness, seizures, coma, and may be fatal. He may experience some, but not all, or none of these symptoms.)

If your uncle does NOT experience any of the symptoms mentioned, it MAY be that he has become hypoglycaemia unaware. That’s something worth mentioning to his doctor though, often, there’s very little that can be done about that situation. It would mean that your uncle may need to test his Blood Glucose levels more frequently.

Whatever the outcome, I do hope that your uncle makes a speedy recovery.

Be well.

I feel nauseous after eating could I have hypoglycemia?

I always feel sick after I eat, more at night. This is usually along with chest pain and head aches. My feet do also feel numb sometimes. I do feel tired alot too. Someone suggested I could have Hypoglycemia, which makes sense because my mom has it. But all the web sites I have gone to have nothing about nasesa… Which is my main symptom. Anyway so has anyone experenced that symptom which Hypoglycemia? Do you think I could have it? Oh and sometimes it feels like I have a rapid heartbeat.

I have hypoglycemia and it doesn’t make sense that you would be feeling nasesa because of that. If anything you would be feeling better because your blood sugar would go higher. I don’t know about the chest pains and head aches but it could be stress. I know I was under alot of stress a while ago and I honestly couldn’t eat anything for a few months b/c of how stressed i was. I would go to the doctor and get something to calm your tummy.

How do I know if I have hypoglycemia or diabetes?

Is it normal to feel dizzy/lightheaded if you don’t eat anything for 8 hours? Can a person have hypoglycemia and diabetes?

Just curious. I once tested my blood sugar levels with those testers for people with diabetes, and it was 5.9, and I had just drank hot chocolate and eaten some food. Is that normal for a teen girl?

Thanks!
My dad has diabetes. How likely is it that I will get it at some point in my life?

The only sure way to know is see a doctor.

Will hypoglycemia symptoms go away if a beta blocker is stopped or is hypoglycemia permanant?

I have been on a beta blocker for 4 months due to a heart problem but lately I have been having blurred vision dizziness Drowsiness trouble Concentrating and feeling like I am going to pass out my husband suggested I tried drink juice ( his dad was a diabetic so he has seen him like this ) and it seemed to help but the symptoms later come back , if my dr takes me off the beta blocker because of this will the hypoglycemia go away or will it always be there now?

Beta blockers are temporary repair works with major side effects and cannot be substituted for a cure.
They are nothing less than a stop gap arrangement and their lasting side effects are far outweighing their benefits. Hypoglycemia is a low sugar situation. Consuming a bit of sugar would temporarily help it just as taking lime water with sugar and salt help with both hypoglycemia and low blood pressure. They are not solutions, but temporary reliefs,. The cause for the hypoglycemia as well as diabetis as well as high and low blood pressure should be traced not to the pancreas as the modern science claims to be but it should be directed towards the adrinals where the common salt and sugar are major functionaries for its correct and accurate functioning which has been hampeted by or due to other iatrogenic/vaccinosis/ or genetic mutation as their reasons. These have to be corrected first, the salt balance, the ill effects of vaccination and the genetic mutations. Genetic mutations are hard to reverse but still can be made milder, whereas the iatrogenic and vaccination causes and their ill effects are more or less reversible. If that is achieved, further progress can be made in restoring the health to healthy state or homeostasis. A lot of benefit can be achieved towards this end through homeopathic medicines. Thuja 30 three doses a day for a few days followed by Natrum Mur 30 three doses a day for a few days will remove many of the ill effects. The heart problems like hypertrophy or cardiomyopathies which you may be having are only outcomes or results of the adrinal dysfunction and does not therefore contribute to the cause for your ailments, whereas I find that you are treating the heart problem which is a result, or outcome of the root problems you have in adrinals. This approach is management and not cure. The cause has to be treated and not the results. The results are heart problems. Treating heart therefore is a surface level approach. Once the adrinal dysfunctions are reversed, the damages caused due to such dysfunctions should be treated as if peeling an onion, layer by layer and the final homeostasis or healthy state of affairs achieved. Aluminium Silicata in higher potencies are helpful in curing hypoglycemia through homeopathy. Medicines should be taken in strict consultation with a doctor.

Really good article on hypoglycemia that I could print out?

I’m trying to help my neighbor at least send his dog’s puppies to their new homes with good information… could anyone find me a really good article (online) about hypoglycemia that I could print out for him to give to the new owners?
Isn’t there danger of botox poisoning if using raw honey?

HYPOGLYCEMIA????????????????????????????

lately my hands and my feet have been really cold. My parents noticed that and he said that could be something to do with hypoglycemia. I just read about it and it doesn’t mention those symptoms and it talks about people 25 or older(I’m 16 by the way). My parents say i might have this because I don’t eat at the right time( like I eat at 6-7, and then at 11 again) and also because I barely drink milk. Is that true?????

Probably not. You might be getting cold hands and feet because you have poor circulation to your extremities. Hypoglycemia is becuase of low blood sugar concetration and you can get it if you don’t eat for a long time. but if you are not diabetic this shouldnt be a problem since your body will release gluocse into the blood when you are low in blood sugar. so eating at 6-7 would not be the problem even if you eat lunch at like 11am becuase you are not a diabetic i assume and you are kind of young to have dibetes although that is changing. As for milk, i highly doubt it. Milk has a form of sugar called lactose but that is not the main source of sugar your body intakes, So if you are not feeling weak and nausea , then you probably are not hypoglycemic.

What should my friend with hypoglycemia eat?

Okay. My friend is always tired and has been since he was little. My mom and I were talking and we came up with hypoglycemia because that is what my grandma has and she has the same ’symptoms’. I have been told that he should eat about six small meals that are high in protein. What are some foods and snacks that are high in protein? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

There are many reasons for chronic fatigue and I think your friend should see a doctor and get some blood tests done.

Can I become pregnant if I have hypoglycemia?

I’ve been trying to become pregnant for almost a year and just found out I have hypoglycemia (blood sugar fluctuation). Has anybody became pregnant having my situation? I know I ovulate because I’ve done a test and my husband has done tests for his sperm count and he is ok too.

yes you can get pregnant still but for many women, pregnancy makes hypoglycemia worse, particularly in the first trimester. In some cases, women have their first experiences with a drop in blood sugar during pregnancy. This may only occur during pregnancy or may continue to be a problem after pregnancy.
Fortunately, there appear to be no serious threats to the baby if mommy is hypoglycemic. However, it can be a problem for you. Therefore, it is important that you learn to control your blood sugar. For most women, this can be done through proper diet and regular meals and snacks.
Hopefully you wil conceive soon, my research indicates there should be no problem, as long as you are ovulating (producing eggs) and having sex at the right times. Good luck

What small snacks can I have to prevent hypoglycemia?

I am finding it hard to eat so frequently, so I really need small snacks that will prevent this problem occurring without making me feel full all the time. Is cheese on it’s own okay?

Cheese, crackers, nutrain bars, I don’t eat much in a day and it doesn’t happen to me but I always have something with me incase it does. Glucose tablets also help incase of an emergency.
