Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar is a problem that is much over-looked by many doctors today. It is a condition that usually results from an over active pancreas (too much insulin) and an under active adrenal gland. Symptoms (Some of the more common symptoms are:) Irritability Mental confusion Exhaustion Fatigue Headaches Depression Lack of concentration Crying spells Phobias Nervousness Insomnia Constant worrying Dizziness Nightmares Indecisiveness Craves sweets Forgetfulness Following a diet high in complex carbohydrates and moderately high in protein and fats (oils - unsaturated) is essential to first controlling and then the treatment of hypoglycemia. This should consist of either 5 to 6 small meals per day or 3 normal moderate meals with snacks in between. All simple carbohydrates (sugars in the form of sugar, honey, molasses, fructose and fruits etc.) must be avoided altogether. Fruits and some other sweeteners (such as molasses, pure maple syrup, and acacia or tupelo honey) MAY be added back to the diet after about 3 weeks, consult your physician. Refined sugar, caffeine and alcohol must be permanently avoided from the diet. Remember, also, to read labels because there are a lot of hidden sugars. Sugars may come in the form of not only sugar but also dextrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, sucrose, maltose, turbinado and corn syrup, to mention a few. Keep in mind that the diet represents 50% or more of the total program; the efficacy of the other parts of the program as administered by your physician, the proper nutritional supplements, hinges on your following this diet. With it, results are often very good but without it nothing can be accomplished.

Exposure Reporting HYPOGLYCEMIA Definition: Hypoglycemia is the medical term for a level of blood glucose (blood sugar) that is too low to meet immediate energy needs of the body. Glucose is a sugar that our bodies use for energy. A normal level of glucose in the blood is between 60-110 mg/dl. Symptoms: Causes: It is important to remember that hypoglycemia is not a disease. It is a condition caused by an underlying problem or disease that prevents the body from maintaining normal levels of glucose in the blood. There are two types of hypoglycemia: fasting and reactive. Fasting hypoglycemia can occur when a person goes without food for eight or more hours. It can be caused by certain underlying diseases (tumors of the pancreas, severe liver disease, adrenal failure) that upsets the body's ability to balance glucose.

84. What Is Hypoglycemia? - Article What is hypoglycemia? Definitions What is hypoglycemia? Definitions 1. Reactive hypoglycemia type of lowblood sugar http://www.hcf-nutrition.org/diabetes_disease/hypoglycemia_article.html

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

LOW BLOOD SUGAR is caused, paradoxically, by eating too much sugar. When the sugar reaches the blood, which happens within seconds after you eat it, the body produces insulin to normalize the blood-sugar level. In a person suffering from hypoglycemia, the body produces too much insulin. The blood-sugar level is decreased so rapidly and thoroughly that the person suffers distressing symptoms including headaches, fatigue, depression, anxiety, dizziness, lack of mental alertness, and rapid mood swings. A number of years ago hypoglycemia became "popular," and many people decided that they suffered from it. Reacting to this fad, many doctors have dismissed the disorder entirely, claiming it doesn't exist. I believe the truth is somewhere in between: Not everyone who claims to have hypoglycemia suffers from it, but many people have some degree of difficulty in handling refined sugar in their diet and they commonly experience symptoms.

Send this article to a friend Hypoglycemic Diet from the Pfeiffer Treatment Center The most common type of hypoglycemia, known as functional low blood sugar, was first recognized in diabetics in 1923 by Dr. Seale Harris. The two primary causes of hypoglycemia are: 1. Excessive stimulation of pancreatic insulin production due to the intake of large amounts of refined carbohydrates (sugar and white flour), caffeine, and other stimulants. 2. Failure of the pancreas to cut back its production of insulin after responding to a raised blood sugar (glucose) level after intake of food. The nervous system is very sensitive to changes in blood sugar, so that the most common symptoms of hypoglycemia are nervousness, irritability, exhaustion, depression, and headaches. Dietary treatment is designed to keep the blood sugar level as even as possible. Diet recommendations are: 1. Divide daily intake of food into at least six small meals.

Hypoglycemia affects about one out of every 1,000 people in the United States, many of whom have diabetes. However, a wide variety of health conditions, many of them rare, can cause low blood sugar in people without diabetes. Like fever, hypoglycemia is merely an indicator of a health problem. Among the underlying causes of hypoglycemia in people without diabetes are certain medications, alcohol, certain cancers, critical illnesses including kidney, liver or heart failure, hormonal deficiencies, and disorders that result in your body producing too much insulin. Insulin is the hormone secreted by your pancreas that regulates your level of blood sugar.

Hypoglycemia Mini-FAQ, prepared by Miryam Williamson Contents: 1. Article by R Paul St. Amand, MD 2. Comment by Miryam Williamson 3. Thoughts on panic attacks by Miryam Williamson Revised: 12/18/95 'Hypoglycemia' is a word often used to denote a disease when it is actually only a symptom. The term means "low blood sugar" but often symptoms occur without a particularly low value. This syndrome is better defined as carbohydrate intolerance resulting in symptoms due mainly to an overzealous neuro-endocrine response. Alternatively, it is the inability to effectively use certain carbohydrate loads without adverse consequences. When one eats sugar or complex carbohydrates blood sugar rises and triggers insulin release from the pancreas. This hormone facilitates entry of some carbohydrates into various parts of the body for utilization or storage. The liver converts the excess to fatty acids and insulin drives deposits into fat cells as triglycerides, our fuel reserve. In hypoglycemics, insulin cut-off is inadequate,or hormonal release excessive or inappropriate for the situation. This creates a system-wide stress which results in the endocrine 'fatigue' syndrome we call "hypoglycemia". The standard for diagnosis has been the five hour glucose tolerance test. A certain sugar solution is given, and blood is drawn and tested at various intervals. Such tests were done in 1994 by Genter and Ipp(1) on a group of young, healthy people who had no symptoms of hypoglycemia. Blood was sampled every ten minutes in order to measure the timing and amount of various hormones which are released to counter-balance insulin. These secretions attempt to prevent excessive decreases in blood sugar. One-half of these test subjects developed acute symptoms of hypoglycemia near the peak epinephrine (adrenaline) release which coincided with the lowest blood sugars. Each reacted at very different sugar levels, often at values we have considered normal. This informative study shows that each of us will tolerate only a certain fall in blood sugar before our neuro- endocrine system perceives danger, and releases adrenaline.

Subscribe now >> Hypoglycemia Q: It would be interesting to know your comments on hypoglycemia. I have had it for several years, although it was just diagnosed in 1998. My main symptoms are shakiness after eating sugar, transposing words and letters (in other words, turning them around), and my main concern, severe mood change later in the day. After about four to six hours, I see a definite change in my personality and have been known to cry for hours until my system seems to be cleared out. It's like sugar is poison to my body. I don't drink any alcohol anymore because it causes the chills and shakes. This all seemed to start after I stopped eating all sweets about 10 years ago and continued that for about four years. When I returned to eating desserts again, I started noticing these symptoms. It took a long time to narrow down what was causing my symptoms because I was also going through menopause. A: Postprandial reactive hypoglycemia is the medical term for your condition; postprandial means the symptoms occur after a meal and reactive means they happen in response to food stimulation as opposed to a fasting state. Blood sugar levels are normally around 90 to 110 mg/dL, but with hypoglycemia they are usually below 50 and may get as low as 35.

Search for BREASTFEEDING THE NEWBORN WITH HYPOGLYCEMIA If you've been told that your newborn baby has hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or is at risk of developing this condition, you should also know that there are ways that breastfeeding can help the situation. Low blood sugar occurs when the body's demand for glucose (a simple sugar) is greater than its supply. Infants get glucose from the lactose (milk sugar) that is in milk and colostrum. Some infants have greater difficulty maintaining an adequate blood sugar than others. While an occasional dip in blood sugar is harmless, prolonged periods of low blood sugar can damage the central nervous system. Babies at risk for developing hypoglycemia include: preterm or post-term babies, infants of diabetic mothers, babies of mothers who were given a large dose of glucose solution intravenously during labor, infants who are either small or large for gestational age, and infants who experience respiratory distress, breathing difficulties, or who are the product of a complicated delivery. Babies at risk for hypoglycemia need to breastfeed frequently. Here's how breastfeeding can help:

Dietary Treatment of Hypoglycemia for the Pregnant Woman with Diabetes Hypoglycemia or insulin reaction is the condition that happens when your blood glucose level falls below its normal range (usually below 70 mg/dl). It can happen to you at any time, sometimes with little warning and even may require you to go to the hospital. The most important thing to remember is that untreated hypoglycemia is an emergency condition. It can result in seizures, coma, or even death if not treated quickly. Luckily, hypoglycemia is fairly easy to treat. Most importantly, it is easy to avoid if you spend a little time learning what causes hypoglycemia and how to correct and prevent it. You should make sure everyone in your family and/or those you work with also know about hypoglycemia. An insulin reaction can be dangerous if neglected, so it is important for you to be able to recognize the symptoms and treat them promptly. Hypoglycemia can be the result of: eating too little food, or if a meal or snack is missed or delayed too much exercise or activity taking too much insulin or oral medication Any one or a combination of these things can cause your blood glucose level to fall below 60 or 70 mg/dl. That's why it is important to always follow your daily routine and test your blood glucose regularly. This will help you keep the right balance between your meals, exercise, and medication.
