im 7 months pregent and my dr just told me i have low blood sugar what does that mean? can i fix it? how?

Answer 1

Why didn't you ask your doctor about this--that is what he/she is there for? (Sorry to answer your question with one, but come on).

Answer 2

You blood sugar is low if it is under 70 chronicly. Fixing it would be bringing up to at least 70. You can do this by eating something. Avoid simple sugars (candy, sweets, cakes, etc), eat complex carbohydrates (which will eventually be broken down into sugar but over a much longer period of time, which is good for the body). Eat things such as breads, pastas, etc for complex carbs. Eat a balanced meal. Eat at the same time each day. Have a small snack (again complex carbs not a brownie) before you go to bed. If that does nothing for you consult your doctor again.

Answer 3

It means that the Glucose, or sugar level, in your body is lower then it should be, generally as a result of your body producing too much Insulin. Low blood sugars aren't as common during pregnancy as high blood sugar (gestational diabetes), but can have some implications on your pregnancy. You doctor will advise you if he thinks you should be concerned about it and what the best way to treat it is. Most likely, you will be told to eat small meals more frequently to maintain the glucose level, and you may have to test your blood sugar a few times a day.

Answer 4

Low blood sugar is most often an inappropriate 'diagnosis' and in most cases represents your normal. Even when symptoms attributed to low bood sugar occur unless you are a diabetic or have an insulin producing tumor such symptoms are NOT in fact correlated with your glucose level. In 1980 it was suggested that the diagnosis 'low blood sugar' be deleted and in 1985 I suggested that the diagnosis dysautonomia (as symptoms are from the nervous system not glucose) be utilized so it is sad that 20 years later the term still lingers about.

Answer 5

Low blood sugar just means that your BG (blood-glucose) levels are not where they need to be. Normal BG levels are 90-150. It's the BG that gives you energy and all the stuff you need to function. If it's low, you can eat a more carbs. Normally as a woman (pregnant or not) you should be getting 45-60 grams of carbs per meal. So start aiming for about 60 grams per meal, see how you feel. If you feel shaky or week, it means ur BG is still low. So get 75 grams for each meal and see if it helps. Good luck!!!

Answer 6

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 7

I agree with others that your doc should have explained this while you were there. For additional online resources and answers to your healthy pregnancy questions I would suggest you check out www.babyfit.com. Good luck!

Answer 8

your doctor should of explained that to you when you were there. and he should of told you how to fix it. I don't know why or how you can fix it. but i would contact another doctor and tell him whats going on and ask him he has any suggestion.

Answer 9

Girls that cannot spell "pregnant" have no business reproducing..but anyway you sound hypoglycemic eat several small meals throughout the day make sure some part of the meal contains sugar (fruit, chocolate milk, etc.) that should help
