and what is to low? what happen to your body when your sugar is low?

Question

i have type 2 diabetes

Answer 1

I also have Type 2 Diabetes. For many years, I had only high blood sugars, but since starting on Insulin, my sugar often drops.

Anything below 70 is considered low, however, everyone is different. What is low to me, may not be to you or to another. As for me, when mine gets to about 80, I feel it. I get dizzy, nauseous, begin sweating, and get panicky. These are pretty common symptoms but there are others as well.

You should keep a good check on what your blood sugar is doing. It can drop really fast and is very dangerous.

As a nurse, I have cared for many diabetics whose blood sugar went too low and they lost consciousness and needed emergency care.

I've provided a link for more information.

Good luck.

Answer 3

My 5-year-old son has Type 1 diabetes, so we have to use insulin and lows are problem we run into often. Below 70 is usually considered Hypoglycemic (too low), but all diabetics are different. My son doesn't start showing signs until he's below 60. He gets the shakes and becomes disoriented. We've had two emergencies where we had to use the glycogen shot - once he was 35 and the other he was 39. Very, very scary.

Answer 4

Hypoglycemia is low blood glucose. Symptoms are--
Sweating and palpitations
Pale skin
Hunger - to the extreme
Trembling
Irritability
Anxiety/aggression
Poor concentration
Feelings of faintness/dizziness
Loss of consciousness
Death

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be CURED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Best of luck.

Answer 5

less than 70. What happens myself I start getting hot and then I start sweating, and the I start getting confused , and then I get dizzy and I can't stand up then I get glucose into my system or I will pass out. After that I feel exhausted and want to sleep. Do not get to this point it causes brain damage. Go to the web site for the American Diabetes Association you can learn a lot. I did and I was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago.

Answer 6

Below 100 is too, okay. In fact, between 85 and 105 is ideal. Below 70 is time for caution, below 50 is an emergency. Shakes, sweats, unconciousness, all kinds of nasty things can occur. Your best bet is to do everything you can to stay off of insulin. If a nurse has trouble regulating her blood glucose, imagine how tough it will be for you. Type two diabetes isn't that hard to manage if you learn all you can about controlling it. My blood sugar is quite stable thanks to diet, exercise, weight management, and a few supplements.

Answer 7

I checked in at a 43 once, after cutting grass, doing yardwork in 90 degrees. Usually the sweating tips me off but it was hot out. I felt as if I had just come off a roller coaster, that dizzy tingling feeling. But I was ready to pass out. Drank a real Coke in about 2 gulps. It tasted awful, too sugary, but it brought me back up.
Anytime I get around 70-75, I gotta eat something quick.

Answer 8

Your brain needs sugar to survive, if you go too low you start to get sweaty, shaky inside and out. Extremely low 50 or under you could start to cry uncontrollably, act like a drug addict way out there, through temper tantrums and of course my mothers favorite paranoia, she always thinks I am trying to poison her with pop, until eventually I have to get the glucose shot because she refuses to eat or drink anything and will start to seizure

Answer 9

Less than 100 is bad, but it depends on your body type and how you digest food. Once your blood sugar is below 50 (it shouldn't be below 100 though) you begin to feel confused. You try to say things but you keep stuterring and you start getting in a trance and pretty soon your not responsive.

Answer 10

And so forth Michael Jackson had questioned the same thing, and behold you can just see by today's standards that he looks like his nose is about to fall off, and he is Pale white, keep what GOD gives you my friend otherwise it might strike back later on in life.
