How Does the Body Control Glucose? What Are the Symptoms of Hypoglycemia? Hypoglycemia in Diabetes Other Causes of Hypoglycemia ... Additional Readings Glucose, a form of sugar, is the body's main fuel. Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, occurs when blood levels of glucose drop too low to fuel the body's activity. Carbohydrates (sugars and starches) are the body's main dietary sources of glucose. During digestion, the glucose is absorbed into the blood stream (hence the term "blood sugar"), which carries it to every cell in the body. Unused glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen. Hypoglycemia can occur as a complication of diabetes, as a condition in itself, or in association with other disorders. Blood Sugar Range The normal range for blood sugar is about 60 mg/dL (milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood) to 120 mg/dL, depending on when a person last ate. In the fasting state, blood sugar can occasionally fall below 60 mg/dL and even to below 50 mg/dL and not indicate a serious abnormality or disease. This can be seen in healthy women, particularly after prolonged fasting. Blood sugar levels below 45 mg/dL are almost always associated with a serious abnormality. How Does the Body Control Glucose?

Index Related topics Diabetes: Insulin-Reaction Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar) What is hypoglycemia? Hypoglycemia is the term used for when you have too little sugar in your blood. Low blood sugar comes on quickly and must be treated right away by your child, family, or friends. If the low blood sugar continues too long, the brain can be harmed. Because the brain grows very rapidly in the first 4 years of life, it is particularly important to prevent severe low blood sugar in young children. Early treatment helps prevent a more severe reaction. It is very important that the family and other people taking care of your child know the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia. Your child has low blood sugar if the result of a blood sugar test is 60 mg/dl or lower. A normal blood sugar is 70 to 120 mg/dl. What causes low blood sugar?

Spanish version What is hypoglycemia? Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is the term used for when you have too little sugar in your blood. Other terms are "insulin-reaction", "lows" or "hypo." How does it occur? People with diabetes have hypoglycemia if their dose of insulin or other blood sugar medication doesn't balance with their food or activity. Some causes of abnormally low blood sugar levels are: being more physically active than usual missing a meal eating later than usual eating less food than usual taking more insulin or diabetes pills than usual taking insulin or diabetes pills at a different time than usual stress.

About Me Stamping Recycling Books ... Home Hypoglycemia Information Please note that I am not a medical expert. The information on these pages is merely from my research and experience. Hypoglycemia (HG) is a condition characterized by periodic lows in the blood sugar level that cause a variety of symptoms including nervousness, shakiness, brain clouds, fatigue, depression, and irritability. This condition is also referred to as Low Blood Sugar (LBS). The general cause of these symptoms in hypoglycemics is not eating often enough, or eating too much sugar/carbohydrates. Eating too much sugar/carbohydrates causes a high blood sugar level which then results in the pancreas overreacting and secreting too much insulin in its attempt to lower the blood sugar. The result is a very low blood sugar level. The most common treatment for hypoglycemia is by diet. Genetics HG is often hereditary. So if you have a relative with diabetes or hypoglycemia, this might help confirm that your syptoms are a result of hypoglycemia. Age I've noticed that the majority of people develop HG during their mid-twenties. In my personal experience, I know that I've always had HG to some degree and couldn't go too long between meals. It was in my mid-twenties that the symptoms became bad enough that I had to change my diet to handle them.

Drug Library Inside DrKoop News Archive Animations Health Videos Health Tools ... Newsletters Drug-induced hypoglycemia Injury Disease Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Drug-induced hypoglycemia Definition: Hypoglycemia is when the levels of a sugar called glucose are too low in the blood. This can be caused by the medication used to treat diabetes. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Even when diabetes is managed very carefully, the medications used to treat diabetes can result in episodes of drug-induced hypoglycemia. Medication-induced hypoglycemia can also be caused by improper management of diabetes. Missing meals, overexertion, and intentional or unintentional overdose of medications used to treat the condition can all cause blood glucose levels to drop. Medications that can cause hypoglycemia include insulin and sulfonylureas. Newer drugs for diabetes such as metformin (Glucophage) can also cause hypoglycemia when used in combination with sulfonylureas. The condition may also occur when a nondiabetic individual takes insulin or a sulfonylurea drug. Other drugs such as pentamidine can also occasionally induce hypoglycemia. Rarer causes of low blood glucose include the use of quinidine, quinine, beta-blocker drugs, MAO inhibitors (a type of antidepressant), Bactrim (an antibiotic), and haloperidol.

Hypoglycemia, diabetic DESCRIPTION: An abnormally low concentration of glucose in the circulating blood of a diabetic. A side effect of insulin and/or sulfonylurea treatment in the course of normal treatment of diabetes mellitus. Hypoglycemia may also occur as a condition in itself or in association with other disorders. Often referred to as an "insulin reaction". System(s) affected: Endocrine/Metabolic Genetics: No known genetic pattern Incidence/Prevalence in USA: Most type 1 diabetics experience hypoglycemia. Tightly controlled type 1 often experience hypoglycemia weekly. Type 2 diabetics experience hypoglycemia much less frequently than type 1 diabetics Most common in type 1 diabetics Common in type 2 diabetic patients treated with oral agents such as sulfonylureas, meglitinides agents and/or insulin Metformin, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (acarbose and miglitol) and thiazolidinediones do not cause hypoglycemia when used as monotherapy, but may enhance the risk of hypoglycemia when used in combination with insulin and/or sulfonylureas or meglitinides. Uncommon in diabetics treated with diet and exercise alone Studies comparing insulin lispro (human analog) with human regular insulin did not demonstrate a difference in frequency of hypoglycemia Predominant age: All ages Predominant sex: Male = Female CAUSES: Loss of the hormonal counter-regulatory mechanism in glucose metabolism Diet - too little food (skipping a meal) Medication - too much insulin or oral hypoglycemic agent (improper dose or timing)

What is Hypoglycemia? Definitions What is hypoglycemia? Definitions [1]. Reactive hypoglycemia: type of low-blood sugar levels, that occurs after meals. Fasting hypoglycemia: low-blood sugar that occurs in the post-absorptive state at 6-12 hours after the last meal. In adults, fasting hypoglycemia is related to a serious condition such as an insulinoma, extrapancreatic tumor, liver or kidney failure, or hormonal deficiencies. Drug-induced hypoglycemia: low-blood sugar usually resulting from taking insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents, alcohol, or other drugs or combinations of these. Symptoms of reactive hypoglyemia Symptoms of hypoglycemia relate to either activation of the sympathetic nervous system or impairment of brain function. A rapid fall in blood glucose levels stimulates release of catecholamines producing sweating, weakness, hunger, tachycardia, anxiety, numbness or tingling. A slow reduction in blood glucose levels produces neuroglycopenia with irritability, headache, mental confusion, slurred speech, stupor, coma or seizures. Rarely, alimentary hypoglycemia produces severe neurologic symptoms such as seizures; this occurs in some individuals with prior removal of more than half of their stomachs. Fortunately, reactive hypoglycemia is usually self-limited and associated with only mild to moderate symptoms related to catecholamines. Types of reactive hypoglycemia Hormone deficiencies such as growth hormone or glucagon deficiency, enzyme defects such as fructose-1,6-diphosphatase deficiency, or genetic derangements such as hereditary fructose intolerance can result in reactive hypoglycemia [2]. Most individuals, however, have either alimentary or diabetic reactive hypoglycemia. We avoid the diagnosis of idiopathic or functional reactive hypoglycemia since these labels imply the problem is psychosomatic and may not acknowledge the presence of a derangement of blood glucose homeostasis. Nutrition management is the mainstay for all types of reactive hypoglycemia and almost invariably is effective

There are three basic types of nutrients. Beef, fish, poultry, cottage cheese and tofu are foods that are largely protein. Butter, cream, and vegetable oils are fats. Vegetables, fruits, grains, pastas, and cereals are carbohydrates (carbos), and so are many so-called "junk" foods, such as candy. These junk foods have little if any nutritional value, and may carry fat as well as carbo. People with reactive hypoglycemia(RHG) are often (but not always) overweight, and unable to lose the extra weight. A fat pad develops on the belly, and won't go away. The often-overlooked factor is that carbos stimulate insulin production. Insulin enables blood sugar to move into our biochemical "factories" in the cells, where it is burned as fuel. If there is an excess of insulin as well as an excess of carbos, the excess carbos are stored as fatty acids in fat cells. The excess insulin also prevents the carbos from being used. You not only gain fat, but you are also prevented from losing this fat because of the availability of excess carbos. RHG is not the same as fasting hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar that occurs when you do not eat. For this reason, RHG is not always picked up on routine medical tests. RHG occurs within 2 to 3 hours after a meal of excess carbos, when there is a rapid release of carbos into the small intestine, followed by rapid glucose absorption, and then the production of a large amount of insulin. Adrenalin production should be measured as well as glucose, but this can occur in brief spurts and can be difficult to "catch". If the symptoms are there, such testing is unnecessary, as there is no harm in trying a "balanced" diet like the Zone (see Books and Tapes). RHG is also called "insulin tolerance", "postprandial hypoglycemia", "carbohydrate intolerance" and in severe forms,"idiopathic adult-onset phosphate diabetes". This condition can lead to type II diabetes.

Classic Signs: Weakness, drowsiness, confusion, hunger, dizziness, paleness, headache, irritability, trembling, sweating, rapid heart beat, and a cold, clammy feeling. Hypoglycemia is a complication of HG and a common dietary prescription for the general public is eating more protein than carbohydrates to avoid insulin surges (this is recommended provided the patient can tolerate protein foods). However, carbohydrates are often better tolerated than meat and eggs and easier on the liver for HG patients. Further, research shows that increasing protein intake can actually impair the body's ability to process sugar, probably because protein increases insulin levels (insulin reduces blood sugar levels). Not surprisingly, some of the same nutrients used to stabilize insulin and glucose regulation (i.e. including vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B6) are the ones HG patients need supplemented. Cortisol may also play a part in hypoglycemia and thus HG patients should minimize stress as much as possible. (See "Hypoglycemia's Hormonal Origin" below.) The fact that cortisone helps some women makes one wonder if women with HG deplete their supply of cortisol due to starvation and stress.

Department Information Education Institute Research Institute Clinical Care Institute ... Patient Information Faculty Staff and Students By Phyllis Woodson, RD Reprinted with permission of the Diabetes Institutes Foundation Patient Information Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia , or low blood glucose, may occur due to many reasons. If the individual has diabetes, too much medication or insulin, too much exercise, or too little food may cause hypoglycemia. Other medical causes of hypoglycemia may be organic or metabolic or due to tumors. Excess alcohol may cause hypoglycemia. Alimentary hypoglycemia is due to prior upper GI surgery. Reactive hypoglycemia occurs when excess carbohydrate foods (sweets, starch, fruit, or milk) elevate your blood glucose and cause excess insulin to be secreted, which may then cause hypoglycemia to occur two to four hours after eating. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas, which helps excess glucose in the blood enter the liver, muscle, and fat cells where it is either used as energy or stored as fat. The following illustration shows what can happen during reactive hypoglycemia. A RECOMMENDED DIAGNOSIS OF REACTIVE HYPOGLYCEMIA TREATMENT FOR LOW BLOOD GLUCOSE includes 1/2 c. orange juice or 1/2 c. regular soda or 3 glucose tablets or 5-6 Lifesaver candies. Each of these foods has 15 grams of carbohydrate and will cause a gradual rise in blood glucose back to normal in about 15 minutes.

Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar) What is hypoglycemia? Hypoglycemia is the condition of having a glucose (blood sugar) level that is too low to effectively fuel the body's blood cells. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body. The normal range of blood sugar is approximately 60 to 120 mg/dl (milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood). When the level is below 45 mg/dl, a serious condition is suspected. Hypoglycemia may be a condition by itself, or may be a complication of diabetes or other disorders. It is most often seen as a complication of diabetes, which is sometimes referred to as insulin reaction What causes hypoglycemia? There are many different possible causes of hypoglycemia, including: diabetics taking too much insulin to lower the blood sugar other drugs used to treat diseases such as AIDS-related pneumonia psychological disturbances alcohol consumption without eating adequately diabetics who miss a meal or exercise too strenuously insulin-producing tumor in the pancreas What are symptoms of hypoglycemia?

Search Living with Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar) by Sue Spataro, RN, BSN Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood is abnormally low. Glucose supplies the body's cells with energy, and a low level of glucose seriously affects the brain cells. Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar occurs most often in persons with diabetes mellitus or Type 2 diabetes . Though it is rare, a tumor or growth in the pancreas can cause hypoglycemia Some of the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia are: headaches weakness sweating shakiness hunger visual disturbances hypothermia ( lowered body temperature) mental confusion personality changes With severe hypoglycemia a person is at risk of going into a coma. When hypoglycemia or low blood sugar occurs in a person known to have diabetes it can be caused by too much insulin, too little or delayed food, exercise, alcohol, or any combination of these factors. When hypoglycemia occurs, a person can become cranky, tired, sweaty, hungry, confused, and shaky. If the blood sugar levels drop too low, a person can lose consciousness or may experience a seizure. The best way for people who have diabetes to avoid hypoglycemia is to make sure of their blood sugar levels through daily blood testing which can easily be done at home.

It occurs when there is not enough sugar or glucose in the blood. It is also called insulin shock or insulin reaction. Hypoglycemia is most common in type 1 diabetics, especially diabetics who have tight control of their blood sugar level. People with Type 2 diabetes who take insulin or certain diabetic medications may also have hypoglycemia reactions. People who control their diabetes with diet and exercise rarely have this reaction. Some people who do not have diabetes also have a problem with hypoglycemia, but it usually occurs in a milder form. The causes of low blood sugar include: missing a meal taking too much insulin, or medication unexpected or excessive exercise drinking alcohol certain other medications older age vomiting and diarrhea other medical problems or an unknown cause Hypoglycemia can happen even when everything possible is being done to control the diabetes. Sometimes it just cannot be prevented. It is very important to treat it quickly so it does not get worse. People with diabetes need to know the symptoms of low blood sugar and how to treat it.

Prostatitis HYPOGLYCEMIA - low Blood Sugar:  Nutritional Causes, Prevention and Therapies While many practitioners recommend nearly identical dietary lifestyles for people suffering from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or diabetes (hyperglycemia), I believe that Sodium management is an important consideration to help control sugar metabolism in both situations. Sodium effectively slows insulin response, which in diabetics contributes to poor blood sugar control, however for individuals suffering from low blood sugar (or even hyperinsulinism), higher sodium levels can be an advantage because they prevent a quick rise and fall in insulin levels and subsequently reduce those dreaded blood sugar highs and lows commonly experienced with hypoglycemia. Some practitioners also place great importance on the Glycemic Index (GI) of any particular food or beverage consumed, however from personal clinical experience, only the reduction or elimination of simple sugar / carbs is necessary, while complex carbs, or even most refined carbs don't have to

Weight Issues (Child) Hypoglycemia and the Breastfed Newborn By Edie Orr and Betty Crase From: NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 14 No. 4, July-August 1997, pp. 107-8 Hypoglycemia is the technical term for low blood sugar (low concentrations of glucose, the sugar found in blood). When the body's rate of use of glucose is greater than the rate of glucose production, the plasma glucose concentration falls. If it falls too far too fast in the newborn period, hypoglycemia results. Hypoglycemia is not a common condition in newborn babies, and breastfeeding early and often will almost always prevent it. Further, the baby who is not showing any symptoms of hypoglycemia does not need glucose supplements. They should not be given routinely. Symptomatic hypoglycemia in newborns is largely due to delayed or inadequate feeding and is more likely to occur when mother and baby are separated after birth. Some newborns are given sugar water on the erroneous assumption that this will prevent hypoglycemia. Instead, giving glucose water causes a sudden rise in the blood glucose levels, which in turn stimulates the secretion of insulin by the pancreas. The high level of insulin results in an equally sudden drop in glucose levels. It is interesting to note that the treatment for hypoglycemia in adults is small, frequent, high-protein meals. That is exactly what the baby gets when he is allowed to breastfeed on demand from birth.

This web site looks at the various aspects of hypoglycemia (click on the word hyplogycemia for information on what it actually is) in the sense that hypoglycemia is seen as the starting point for a discussion on nutritional disorders underlying most degenerative diseases and mental disorders. Clinical nutrition is an evidence-based medical science, supported by untold numbers of clinical studies and trials.This is basically a self-help web page for people who have or who think they may have hypoglycemia as a primary metabolic condition associated with any other illness that are known to respond to nutritional medicine. Readers are encouraged to consult complementary doctors and other professional health care workers familiar with clinical nutrition and herbalism. Thus although hypoglycemia and the hypoglycemic diet are at the core of nutritional treatment, it is only the first step in the treatment of over 90 other illnesses, including many ‘psychological’ problems that may have resulted from the underlying disorder. We will include links to some other sites on Hypoglycemia on the internet (See Links It is recognized that psychological problems such as anxiety, stresses of life, depression, unhappy personal relationships, uncontrollable anger and frustration may weaken the immune system and thus cause the many physical ailments. Thus this web site has a folder offering several articles on practical self-help PSYCHOTHERAPY which will help people to overcome these problem, once they have repaired the original metabolic disorder. This is particularly useful with such diseases as Anxiety, Aggressive Behaviour, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alcoholism and Drug Addiction, Chronic Depression, which are usually influenced by both nutritional and psychological (attitudinal) factors.
