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 is the treatment for hypoglycemia besides eating more often?

admin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:26:55 +0000

My doc mentioned possible hypoglycemia when I told him I was concerned about diabetes because it runs in my family. What are the symptoms when a diabetic has too much sugar? Also is there any course of treatment for hypoglycemia besides a different diet?

what i learned in my class hypoglycemia is the lack of sugar or too much insulin the only thing i guess you would have to worry about is being able to have the right balance

the emergency we get called to is if some one forgot to eat and they go into insulin shock or about to go into shock
