28 weeks pregnant with low pelvic pressure?
Posted by admin on Oct 21, 2009
Im 28 weeks pregnant and having low pelvic pressure. It hurts when i roll over onto my other side and when im getting out of bed. Is this normal what could it be? Im not bleeding or anything.
1) If you’re worried, call your doctor.
2) It sounds normal. The baby is growing and your ligaments are stretching. Just take it easy, stay hydrated and rest until your next appointment. Remember that you have a LOT of nerves for the baby to put pressure on – when you roll over is it a sharp or dull pain?
Nonetheless, I wouldn’t worry too much.

How to lose weight when you have reactive hypoglycemia?
Posted by admin on Oct 3, 2009
In June of this year I was diagnosed as having reactive hypoglycemia which is borderline diabetic. I need to know how I can lose weight because I am at my heaviest weight. I have been taking walks daily for 30 minutes for the pass few years. I have stopped taking walks as often since my younger brother passed in May of this.
Hey! Good for you for taking charge of your health and exercising. Firstly, any exercise is good, but there’s a lot of data to show that moderate to intense exercise for a minimum of 60 minutes a week (150-180 is ideal) is tremendously beneficial, and in particular, that interval training (alternating between [low and medium], [low and high], or [medium and high] intensity exercise is the best for both fitness and weight loss. This might mean alternating calesthenics with marching on the spot, or alternating walking and jogging (jogging and running), or walking up and down stairs.
You should discuss a fitness plan with your doctor, to make sure it’s OK.
Also, there is a recent study that shows portion control with the help of dining plates marked with suggested portions are very effective in aiding weight loss in diabetics.

Can hypoglycemia be treated in babies and how long does it usually take if it does?
Posted by admin on Sep 27, 2009
Can hypoglycemia be treated in babies and if it does how long does it take? My baby weighed 8 lbs when he was born and has been in the hospital for 11 days now. Can it be treated? Am I over reacting, I cry alot and just want him to come home already?
Calm down. My brother and I were both born with hypoglycemia; both of us are in our 20′s and reasonably healthy 
He’s un-naturally tall, but that’s another story :p Of all the things for them to catch in that newborn screening, this is by far one of the better problems to have – it’s easily managed.
The great news is that they caught it in the hospital! My mom fought for 2 days to get them to test us. We have never needed meds, it’s managed totally through diet. Both of us have always needed frequent small meals. Neither of us can have a lot of sugar (like soda), and we both have to watch eating too many carbs. Sugar and carbs won’t like, kill us, we just crash after about an hour. Veggies and fruit and lean protien are the best things to eat.
I have learned to feel when my sugar is low and eat. In elementary school, I fainted a few times til I got the hang of it. Once I did, I was totally fine; the nurse kept yougert and fruit for me in case I needed to eat. It’s not, like some horrific condition. None of the kids ever knew.
Talk to your doctor. I’m sure they have some good feeding tips and ways to treat it. My mom, brother and I have this for life, but some types of hypoglycemia are transient, meaning they are fixed and don’t come back. Before you take your son home, make them talk to you and explain everything and tell you what you need to do in his case. I’m sure he’s gonna be fine.
The other poster is right, MAKE them tell you what kind of hypoglycemia it is. Like is is related to diabetes, just a thing that happend cuz he was born (my cousins had low sugar after taking 3 days to be born…), or is it a freak genetic thing like mine…. (missing some enzyme…).
Oh, and btw, Congrats!!!
What are the damaging effects of hypoglycemia?
Posted by admin on Sep 21, 2009
Is there any permanent damage? If you have hypoglycemia does that mean you have diabetes?
The damaging effects of hypoglycaemia=too low blood sugar depend on how low. If very, very low, it can kill you, if very low and you go unconscious, it can cause permanent brain damage, if only a little low, you just feel tired, exhausted and don’t suffer permanent damage.Brain needs sugar always, so that is why hypoglycaemia affects brain most.Other organs can get along with other substrates for metabolism.
Diabetes (type 1) is a disease of deficiency of insulin which is needed for sugar to go from blood to cells.So, if the sugar just goes around and not into cells where it is needed, it piles up and we end up with high blood sugar while cells starve and eventually we die if we are not getting insulin. Diabetics are prone also to hypoglycaemia, if they get too much insulin and too little food.
If there is nothing basicly wrong in the insulin secretion and control, hypoglycaemia usually never goes so low that it causes permanent damage. The really serious hypoglycaemias are ususally in diabetics or overdose of insulin in some other condition or insulin producing tumor.
In summary:serious hypoglycaemia is very serious but usually only in diabetics. for the rest of us sugar goes only a little low at times -and that is a different story.

Hypoglycemia / Hypoglycaemia
Posted by admin on Sep 19, 2009
Song: Enigma – Traces
Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) level drops too low to provide enough energy for your body’s activities. In adults or children older than 10 years, hypoglycemia is uncommon except as a side effect of diabetes treatment, but it can result from other medications or diseases, hormone or enzyme deficiencies, or tumors.
Glucose, a form of sugar, is an important fuel for your body. Carbohydrates are the main dietary sources of glucose. Rice, potatoes, bread, tortillas, cereal, milk, fruit, and sweets are all carbohydrate-rich foods.
After a meal, glucose molecules are absorbed into your bloodstream and carried to the cells, where they are used for energy. Insulin, a hormone produced by your pancreas, helps glucose enter cells. If you take in more glucose than your body needs at the time, your body stores the extra glucose in your liver and muscles in a form called glycogen. Your body can use the stored glucose whenever it is needed for energy between meals. Extra glucose can also be converted to fat and stored in fat cells.
When blood glucose begins to fall, glucagon, another hormone produced by the pancreas, signals the liver to break down glycogen and release glucose, causing blood glucose levels to rise toward a normal level. If you have diabetes, this glucagon response to hypoglycemia may be impaired, making it harder for your glucose levels to return to the normal range.

What are some practical ways to avoid severe conditions of Hypoglycemia?
Posted by admin on Sep 12, 2009
My g-friend suffers severe conditions of hypoglycemia such as becoming incoherent and lethargic. What should I do when this occurs and what are things she can do to prevent these symptons before they occur.
The blood glucose level may fall too low or too fast. Some people then experience the symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Some snack and meal suggestions that meet the goal of including a complex carbohydrate, a protein source and fat include:
sandwich
yogurt and fruit
cottage cheese and crackers
turkey, cheese slices and veggies on a salad
salad with beans added
peanut butter and crackers
low fat cheese and crackers
bean soup and crackers
low fat cheese on bake potato
bagel and lowfat cream cheese
Eat at least three regularly spaced meals 3 to 5 hours apart) daily. Include snacks if needed. Eat at the same time each day. Avoid skipping meals. This can be accomplished without weight gain by staying at a healthy caloric intake (distribute total calories throughout the day). Avoid sugar and foods and beverages containing sugar, especially on an empty stomach. An occasional sweet food consumed in a small amount with a meal may be tolerated.
Include at each meal or snack:
Complex carbohydrate: fruit,vegetable,starch or grain product.
Protein source: lowfat meat, lowfat dairy product, legume, peanut butter.
Fat source: oil, margarine,lowfat mayonnaise (fats may be hidden in carbohydrate and protein). Use these fats sparingly. Distribute meals and snack calories as evenly as possible throughout the day.
Limit alcohol. Drink alcohol only with food and only with health care providers approval.
Avoid caffeine (in coffee, tea, cola drinks, chocolate)
Eat 1 to 3 hours before exercise. Extra calories may be needed before exercise to compensate for calories burned.
Vitamins for Hypoglycemia – Control Low Blood Sugar Levels

Vitamins For Hypoglycemia:
Vitamins For Hypoglycemia – Discover Best Vitamins For Hypoglycemia
http://www.hypoglycemiaguide.com
Hypoglycemia is a state of low blood sugar.
It can be caused by many factors.
Infrequent meals, smoking, alcohol consumption, drug and medication side effects are on the top list of what cause hypoglycemia.
There are many steps you can take to reduce the hypoglycemia symptoms or help your body heal within itself naturally.
http://www.hypoglycemiaguide.com
Couple things you can do is to start eating low glycemic foods, eat 4-6 small, freqent meals and snack every day, start exercising and stress reduction techniques.
And at last, you should implement natural supplementation program specificly designed with vitamins for hypoglycemia.
Many studies shows one of the best vitamins for hypoglycemia is Chromium and CoQ-10 (coenzyme Q-10).
Those vitamins have been shown to help support healthy blood sugar levels, help strenghten heart functions and provide great nutrition for muscles.
Vitamins B are also very helpful to maintain healthy sugar levels and provide you with great energy. Niacin helps your body to break down sugars. Other B Complex vitamins help to stabilize blood glucose and metabolize blood sugars.
http://www.hypoglycemiaguide.com
There are also other great vitamins for hypoglycemia.
For example Calcium. Not only it helps to build and maintain healthy bones and teeth, but also helps osteoporosis, increase fat loss and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
http://www.visitmarketamerica.com
There are couple different types of calcium, so make sure the supplements contain all of them. They just complement each other.
My favorite is Isotonix Calcium Plus, which plays a critical role in the normal contraction of skeletal and heart muscles and helps prevent osteoporosis.
http://www.visitmarketamerica.com
Promotes normal regulation of hormones and enzyme production and supports healthy blood sugar levels.
Sometimes, when you find great multivitamin formula, you will get most important vitamins for hypoglycemia in one simple dose.
Vitamins For Hypoglycemia – How To Select The Best Vitamins For Hypoglycemia?
http://www.hypoglycemiaguide.com
There are many factors when selecting great vitamin supplement product.
First, you need to understand the bioavailability. That means how well the vitamin supplement absorbs with your body.
Many over the counter pills may contain fillers that will not be able to break down in your stomach and you will not feel any difference between the days when you take it and days when you do not take it.
Those supplements are usually very cheap, but I suggest you save even that little money, because your body has no health benefits whatsoever.
So what is the absorption rate of vitamins in pill or table form?
Many studies show that when you take pill or tablet, your body needs anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to digest that pill. It is very long process, your body works very hard to break it down and the result can be anywhere from 10-25%.
That means only 10-25% of whatever vitamin is listed on the label actually gets absorbed!
And that actually explains why I did not feel anything from taking supplements like Centrum I have bought in GNC or Vitamin Shoppe before.
In order for me to get 100% of what the label says, I would need to take two or four times the recommended amount. Well, then it would be very expensive to take natural multivitamins, don’t you think?
I thought so. But did you know that tablets, pills or juices are not only forms o supplementation?
There is something called isotonic nutrition. Which is powder that contains all natural ingredients, and when mixed with specific amount of water it will be absorbed within 10 minutes upon ingesting. And the best part is that isotonic nutrition has 95% absorbtion rate by the body.
The reason for this is that, there are no fillers or binders like in tablets. And because it becomes isotonic solution (has same plasma as body fluids), our stomach does no need to digest it.
Isotonic nutrition is already pre-digested, so it passes through the stomach right to the intestines and to the bloodstream very fast.
And becase I always hated to swallow horse pills, I love isotonic nutrition and all my fitness clients have switched as soon as they felt the difference.
And because isotonix nutrition is low glycemic, it has very positive impact on controling blood sugar levels and therefore I believe that this form of vitamin delivery to our body is second best, right after direct injection to the bloodstream.
