Diabetic Diet & Blood Gluecose

Providing You with the Best Diabetic Info Around

What is the difference between hyper and hypoglycemia and how do you eat healthy if you have either one?

Are these a precurser to diabetes? What are the symptoms causes and effects? Are they preventable?

Hypo means too little, or low blood sugar and hyper means too much and yes, either one can be a sign or precursor to diabetes. You need to eat small meals often and stay away from sugary foods and too many carbs because they make your blood sugar fluctuate too much. Exercise also helps you to regulate your sugar levels. Invest in a monitor so that you can see the effects of what you eat and that will help you to control it. Control it now before you go into full blown diabetes.

    The difference is that hyperglycemia is high blood sugar and hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, the best answer to the second part of your question would be for you to consult your doctor.

    Eating well balanced meals that are not too high in sugar and moderate exercise is a good start. Drink plenty of water. If you develope any symotoms such as: frequent urination, weakness, sweating, excessive thirst, then get checked by a doctor.
