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.

Facts about Hypoglycemia Understanding Hypoglycemia Diagnosing Hypoglycemia Causes of Hypoglycemia Treating Hypoglycemia Understanding Hypoglycemia 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. You might hear hypoglycemia referred to as "low blood glucose." 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 bloodstream. The glucose level is determined by how fast glucose enters and leaves the bloodstream. Glucose enters the bloodstream through the intestines as we digest carbohydrate foods such as noodles, bread, rice and cereal. Between meals, glucose enters the bloodstream from the liver before depositing it into the bloodstream. Glucose then leaves the blood to enter other parts of the body, particularly the brain which need a constant supply of it so they can work normally. With a balanced diet, a healthy liver, normal hormones and a lack of interfering drugs and diseases, healthy people maintain normal blood glucose levels.

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.

Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia is a medical term for "low blood sugar". The brain requires large amounts of glucose, and when it goes below a certain point, a hypoglycemic episode occurs. This can become almost any symptom up to and including coma and even death. In most cases, it only causes drowsiness or sleepiness, but fainting and passing out is not unknown. Also, as a result of a hypoglycemia episode, both adrenalin and testosterone may be released causing undifferentitated rage in some men. This may also be part of the current "road rage" problem. Glucose is the form of sugar in the blood. This has been transformed in the digestive process from other sugars and starches into glucose then passed into the bloodstream. Hypoglycemia is usually caused by too much insulin driving too much glucose into the body cells, which depletes the supply of glucose available to the brain (and other areas). Since glucose is as necessary to proper brain function as is oxygen, there are many different symptoms possible. These can range from a simple yawn about a half hour to an hour after eating, to a full-blown anxiety attack, or even a real depression (the term "sugar blues" has a basis in real fact), or even death for diabetics, or virtually anything in between. Sometimes, allergies can cause similar symptoms, or even cause an hypoglycemic episode! In non-diabetic persons, too much insulin can be the result of a sugar overload, and this can cause hypoglycemia. To some "sensitive persons", this can be as simple as eating a doughnut or drinking a full glass of orange juice on an empty stomach. (Happened to me!) The response to low sugar/glucose is individual, and everyone reacts slightly differently. Also, one person can eat a dozen doughnuts one time with no bad effects, and have a hypoglycemic episode from just one doughnut at another time.

Kids' Clubhouse Hypoglycemia One important aspect of glucose control is preventing hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. Hypoglycemia is also called an insulin reaction. An insulin reaction generally is easy to detect and treat. Causes of Hypoglycemia: Too much insulin or oral medication. More exercise or activity than usual. Skipping or delaying meals or snacks, or eating less food than usual. Signs of Hypoglycemia Slurred speech Headache Tingling lips Sweating (cool) Rapid heart beat Confusion/disorientation Weakness Hunger Nervousness Coma Tremors Confirmation of Hypoglycemia Check your blood glucose if you suspect you have low blood glucose. Treat Hypoglycemia When: Your blood glucose is below 60 mg/dL, with or without the symptoms. Your blood glucose is between 60-100 mg/dL, with symptoms. You are unable to check your blood glucose. If your blood glucose is above 100 mg dL, there is no need for treatment. If someone with diabetes has low blood glucose and is unconscious or unable to swallow, glucagon (a medication to raise glucose) may be injected. Family members and exercise partners of people with diabetes who take insulin should learn how to mix and inject glucagon. How To Treat Hypoglycemia: Quickly take one of the following rapid-acting glucose sources (10-15 gms carbohydrate): 3 glucose tablets (from pharmacy); 1 tube of glucose gel (from pharmacy); 4 oz juice or regular cola; 1 Tbsp. of honey; 8 oz of nonfat milk; or 6 hard candies.

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.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Hypoglycemia Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition The condition called hypoglycemia is literally translated as low blood sugar. Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar (or blood glucose) concentrations fall below a level necessary to properly support the body's need for energy and stability throughout its cells. Description Carbohydrates are the main dietary source of the glucose that is manufactured in the liver and absorbed into the bloodstream to fuel the body's cells and organs. Glucose concentration is controlled by hormones, primarily insulin and glucagon. Glucose concentration is also controlled by epinephrine (adrenalin) and norepinephrine, as well as growth hormone. If these regulators are not working properly, levels of blood sugar can become either excessive (as in hyperglycemia) or inadequate (as in hypoglycemia). If a person has a blood sugar level of 50 mg/dl or less, he or she is considered hypoglycemic, although glucose levels vary widely from one person to another. Hypoglycemia can occur in several ways.

The term insulin shock is used to describe severe hypoglycemia that results in unconsciousness Alternative Names: Insulin shock; Low blood sugar Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Hypoglycemia results when your body's glucose is used up too rapidly, when glucose is released into the bloodstream more slowly than is needed by your body, or when excessive insulin is released into the bloodstream. Insulin is a hormone that reduces blood glucose. It is produced by the pancreas in response to increased glucose levels in the blood. Hypoglycemia is relatively common in diabetics. It occurs when too much insulin or oral antidiabetic medication is taken, not enough food is eaten, or from a sudden increase in the amount of exercise without an increase in food intake. Relative hypoglycemia, where a newborn's blood glucose is low, is fairly common. Severe hypoglycemia may occur in an infant born to a woman with diabetes or gestational diabetes. In these cases, the child is referred to as an IDM for "infant of diabetic mother."

Nutrition for Reactive Hypoglycemia WHAT IS REACTIVE HYPOGLYCEMIA? Reactive hypoglycemia can occur when blood glucose falls, stores of glucose from the liver are exhausted and an individual chooses not to eat. The body gradually adjusts to this situation by using muscle protein to feed glucose to brain cells and fat to fuel the other body cells, but before this adjustment takes place, an individual may experience symptoms of glucose deprivation to the brain. Symptoms such as: anxiety, hunger, dizziness, weakness, shaking muscles and racing heart may result. Most of these symptoms diminish five to ten minutes after eating a source of carbohydrate. Because these symptoms are common to many conditions, a health care provider should be consulted to assess an individual’s specific symptoms and concerns. WHO IS AFFECTED BY REACTIVE HYPOGLYCEMIA? Reactive hypoglycemia occurs in about 2-3 out of every 10 young women - more often in obese women and less often in people over age 45. While most people experience low blood glucose levels at times, if the symptoms are severe or ongoing it is important to learn to eat a balanced meal or snack promptly. Reactive hypoglycemia does not lead to more severe conditions. HOW CAN I CONTROL REACTIVE HYPOGLYCEMIA?

KidsHealth Teens Jake hadn't eaten since breakfast - he'd just been too busy. As he headed off to wrestling practice, he felt like he was running out of energy, so he grabbed some mini donuts from the vending machine. Two hours later, Jake felt dizzy and shaky, and he was starting to get a headache. Jake had felt this way before, and one of his friends said he might have hypoglycemia. But when Jake visited his doctor, she told him that it was unlikely. Lots of people wonder if they have hypoglycemia (pronounced: hi-po-gly- see -mee-uh), but the condition is not at all common in teens. Teens who do have hypoglycemia usually have another health condition, such as diabetes What Is Hypoglycemia? The body's most important fuel is glucose, a type of sugar. When you digest most foods, sugar is released, and that sugar ends up in your bloodstream as glucose. Your body, particularly your brain and nervous system, needs a certain level of glucose to function - not too much, and not too little. If your blood glucose level isn't right, your body will react by showing certain symptoms. Hypoglycemia occurs when a person's blood sugar levels are abnormally low, and it's a potentially serious condition. If you know someone who has diabetes, you may have heard them talk about "insulin shock," which is the common name for a severe hypoglycemic reaction. People with diabetes may experience hypoglycemia if they don't eat enough or if they take too much insulin - the medicine most commonly used to treat diabetes in kids.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Food choices and health Diets and treatments for hypoglycemia (Low blood sugar) Originally Published: December 11, 1998 Dear Alice, I need general information on Hypoglycemia and about diets and treatments. Sincerely, Not So Sweet Dear Not So Sweet, Hypoglycemia may be caused by several factors. One cause is Type I Diabetes, also known as Juvenile or Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM). Type I Diabetes is a chronic disease that impairs a person's ability to produce an adequate amount of insulin to control glucose levels (read Diabetes mellitus in Alice's General Health archives for more information). Insulin must be injected and hypoglycemic drugs can be taken in order to lower the glucose level in the body. Too much medication, not eating enough carbohydrates, skipping meals, not eating soon enough, and too much exercise may cause low blood glucose levels. Excessive alcohol consumption and insomnia have also been found to be causes of a low glucose level in the body. A person with hypoglycemia can benefit from changing some of her/his behaviors: Instead of three large meals a day, have six small meals, which can help stabilize blood glucose levels.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Alcohol Hypoglycemia and alcohol Originally Published: May 05, 2000 Dear Alice, Are there different sugar levels in different alcoholic beverages? I am hypoglycemic and have noticed different hangover levels contingent on the sugar level of alcohol consumed. Some have told me that Scotch has the least amount of sugar of all alcoholic beverages. Since I occasionally enjoy a drink, I would appreciate knowing the lowest sugar content. Dear Reader, American Diabetes Association explains that this glucose-lowering effect can last for as long as eight to twelve hours after drinking. For people with diabetes who, like you, must also keep track of their blood sugar levels, almost all alcoholic beverages count for the same thing: two fats in their food exchange system. Only regular beer is counted as two fats, plus one starch. The American Dietetic Association states that wine, hard liquor, and light beers all have similar caloric contents for one drink: a 5 oz. glass of wine, 1-1/2 oz. of hard liquor (including scotch), 12 oz. of light beer. Regular beer, wine coolers, and mixed drinks all pack a more powerful calorie and sugar content punch; wine coolers have almost twice as many calories as a glass of dry table wine. Liqueurs and sweet wines have higher than average sugar levels, too. Sometimes alcohol can cause blood sugar levels to go up, instead of down. This usually happens if someone eats a meal shortly after, or while drinking, particularly if they consume drinks high in carbohydrates, like beer and juice-alcohol mixers. This is particularly of concern for people with diabetes.
