did anyone with adult onset diabetes start out with hypoglycemia?
Posted by admin on Nov 6, 2009
i’m hypoglycemic and the information i’m finding goes back and forth about how it’s the beginning stages of adult onset diabetes. so i would like to know if anyone had hypoglycemia, didn’t treat it (still eating sugar and so on), and then got diabetes. can low blood sugar lead to high blood sugar? diabetes is high blood sugar right? see i really need some input.
yes i have had my blood sugar tested. what kind of question in that anyways?
go f*ck yourself, hoosier, you uppity prick. what basis do i have….jerk….i’ve had a very difficult time controling my hypoglycemia considering i was an alcoholic.
I’m type two and never had a hypoglycemic episode… for what it’s worth.
I’ve heard of it happening, but I have no idea as to what kind of frequency we’re talking about.
Yes, diabetes is a condition of high blood sugar… not always the same cause, though. That’s why there’s two major types…. one and two.
what is a normal blood sugar for someone with hypoglycemia?
Posted by admin on Oct 30, 2009
As you have probably figuared out I have hypoglycemia. I don’t have diabetes. I would like to know the too high, too low, and normal blood sugar ranges thank a bunch.
The normal blood sugar level for someone who was hypoglycemia is 70 to 110 upon waking(fasting) and after meals it should be about 70 to 140. This is because you are not diabetic.
Is there are difference between hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia?
Posted by admin on Oct 12, 2009
I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia a few months ago, but is it the same as hyperinsulinemia?
hyperinsulinemia leads to hypoglycemia, but hypoglycemia may mean you’re simply just not eating enough or often enough. hyperinsulinemia is producing too much insulin, resulting in high blood insulin levels. hypoglycemia means not enough sugar in the blood, or low blood sugar.
Gestational Diabetes/Stress During Pregnancy?
Posted by admin on Sep 30, 2009
I am almost 32 weeks pregnant…I have had by far one of the most stressful pregnancies. First, with the uncontrollable morning sickness. Second, the horrible infections that have not and will not stay away. Third, the daddy of my baby is currently in jail and facing a good amount of time. The list goes on and on… Bills, trying to pay for a huge house alone, struggling with anxiety disorder during pregnancy. The doctor is a little worried about the size of the baby… It seems to be SMALL! From stress maybe?? Now after taking my glucose test they said my results came back in the 160′s and are supposed to be under 140. I can’t stand this anymore!!!!! It’s like one thing after another, I feel like having a mental breakdown. If anyone has been in any type of situation like this or even situations similar to… please, please let me know.
Your sugar being around 160 I wouldn’t worry too much about. Yes it’s high but not too too high I’ve seen much worse.. There is nothing you can do about the diabetes so take a breath. But because of the diabetes you are more likely to have a larger baby who can’t handle it’s blood sugar after birth. The good thing is most of them adjust well pretty quickly. I’ve been taking care of a gestational diabetes baby the past 2 days at work and he adjusting well and don’t expect him to stay much longer. But his mother’s glucose was well into the 200′s. You are almost done. It seem like forever but you are almost there. Try not to stress to much because you will stress out the baby too. As for anxiety your OB should be able to give you samples of Zoloft or Cymbalta which are safe during pregnancy and will help with the anxiety and depression. You are doing everything that you can possibly do and stressing about it won’t help. It will just make you feel worse. You don’t need high blood pressure too. Calm down. Stick your feet in a hot bath and try to relax. Good Luck and hang in there.
Is Hypoglycemia and Bad Acne connected? how do i control those raging hormones?
Posted by admin on Sep 24, 2009
I’ve had really bad acne for almost ten years now. i’ve also been suffering from hypoglycemia for alittle while. I think I have some sort of chemical imbalance, or hormonal imbalance.
I have never had an acne problem, I of course went through my teenage years where I would break out in high school. I’m now 21 and only get a few spots here and there. I also have hypoglycemia (very sever hypoglycemia) for the past 8 months. My skin has not suffered any from my blood sugar. Its about the only thing that hasn’t been affected. Unless you count being too confused and exhausted to wash my face before I pass out at 8 pm after work lol. Hypoglycemia doesn’t have anything to do with the hormones that cause pimples as far as I know. I’ve done research and talked to my doc. alot. but then everyone’s body is different. I would just think that they are unrelated based on the different things that cause the two conditons.

Can gestational diabetes happen anytime during pregnancy?
Posted by admin on Sep 21, 2009
Can it happen all the way at the end, or only in the second trimester (when you test for it)?
it could happen anytime…but there are some symptoms that your dr could test you early for…my sugar levels were high at the beginning, but they have tapered off here towards the end
Please help! pre eclampsia risk, What can I do to have a healthy baby?
Posted by admin on Sep 9, 2009
ok- i had a 24 week prenatal visit today- I gained 13 pounds in 4 weeks! and i watch what I eat- no fast food very little junk food. then they take my blood pressure with the automatic machine 168 / 86, I have never had my blood pressure that high! usually 115 / 65 give or take ( we have a blood pressure cuff at home and I will check it occasionally). when my dr. came in he checked my BP again with the manual stethescope and said it was lower about 140/80 but that was still too high too. The Dr. did not tell me if there was too much protein in my urine but they ordered a 24 hour urinalysis where I have to carry a jug around with me for 24 hours to collect my urine so they can test it. He told me to take it easy and stay away from salt and that he wanted to see me in 2 weeks. Did anyone else have these symptoms that turned into preclampsia? Hypertension? I will know more i guess after they test my urine but I am currous and a little worried, It is too early for my blood pressure to shoot up that high. any personal accounts of what you went through might just be helpful for me as I am laying on the couch- hopefully the more i rest now the less I will HAVE to later – I can not stand the thought of bed rest but I can handle a few hours off my feet! 
thanks for your answers.
Hey hun, I had pre-eclampsia that developed late in my pregnancy. I also had to do the 24 hour urine collection. When I did the 24 hour and got the results back everything was fine. I did this around 33 weeks or so. I didn’t have protein in my urine till I was about 37 weeks. Yes try not to stress over it, it will only make things worse, decrease your salt intake. put your feet up when you can. They might put you on Blood Pressure medication to help since you are so early in your pregnancy. They will most likely also have you come in once a week to check your blood pressure.
I was induced because my BP was 159/112 at the highest. I was 38 weeks when I was induced. If you have anymore questions feel free to email me.
Have Gestational Diabetes, Preclampsia or not?
Posted by admin on Sep 6, 2009
I am trying to decide whether or not to get a second opinion. I am 31 wks and have GD and on a daily pill to control it, my feet have been swollen heavily for the past month. Today I woke up and my face and hands are swollen. My hands look freakish and my hands and face still tingle like they have fallen asleep. When something happens, it seems to be always on the day the doctor is not in. The nurse had me come in. She checked my urine and it was 1+. (just as a side note last week it was 2+) and when she checked by blood pressure she said it was 124/60. The exact same reading she said I had last week when I had 2+ urine. She always checks my blood pressure in the same room with the same cuff, at home my blood pressure readings are 154/79 156/91. Both times in the last week I only got to see the triage nurse since the doctor was not in. Both times she says don’t worry because yes you have other symptom but as long as your blood pressure is fine, no preclampsia. The nurse does consult with the PA on duty but she does not see me either. I was also told that the PA does not put much stock in home blood pressure machines. It is the one that the nurse gets that counts. My visit 2 weeks ago with the actual ob doc, my blood pressure was high, but no protein in the urine so they were not concerned. The nurse said to call back if I have any stomach pains or get a head ache.
It is definitely true that the home machines are not as accurate as the machines they have in a doctor’s office. Also, swelling does not automatically mean pre-eclampsia. But I think you should try to schedule an appointment with the doctor, or if you really feel scared, just go into an ER and tell them your swelling is worse or that you got a very high bp reading at home.
Do you have any issues with the cuff size? Either at home or at the office? If you have a large arm but are using the cuff that came with your home machine instead of ordering a larger arm cuff for it, this will give you an artificially high reading. My doctor also says to avoid the wrist ones.
It’s pretty unusual for any medical professional to take the threat of pre-eclampsia lightly – if anything, they err on the paranoid side because it is such a dangerous situation. So my guess is that you are probably just fine. But if you have the wherewithal to get a second opinion with another doctor, you can do that to ease your mind.
Did anyone have preclampsia during pregnancy?
Posted by admin on Sep 3, 2009
Some symptom did you have and bad did it get?
I had a mild case – I was on total rest the last month or so of my pregnancies (2). It can be a very dangerous condition as the person who already answered said. Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have. Also check out the link below.
In addition to swelling, protein in the urine, and high blood pressure, symptoms of preeclampsia can include:
Rapid weight gain caused by a significant increase in bodily fluid
Abdominal pain
Severe headaches
A change in reflexes
Reduced output of urine or no urine
Blood in the urine
Dizziness
Excessive vomiting and nausea
