What is a blood sugar crash?

Answer 1

A blood sugar crash occurs when there is too much insulin in your system, leaving too little glucose in your system. That can be addressed either by adjusting when/how much you eat, or drug dosage. Check with your doctor to find out which you should do.

Blood sugar 'crash' refers to the development of symptomatic hypoglycemia (low blood glucose (sugar)) in a diabetic. People become symptomatic at widely varied glucose levels so it is essential that a diabetic determine their glucose whenever symptoms of hypoglycemia occur. Symptomatic hypoglycemia has nothing to do with eating large amounts of glucose as the non-diabetic maintains their glucose in a very narrow range - 70 to 140 mg/dL (3.9 to 7.8 mmol/L) irrespective of how much or what they eat. In addition to diet and exercise most diabetics are on medications to lower their blood glucose and thus some instances of hypoglycemia are unavoidable if good/tight/strict control of glucose is to be achieved. Diabetics are generally advised to carry glucose tablets and a 'Glucagon Emergency Kit'. The latter is a device similar to a 'fat' pen which self-injects glucagon which in turn increases glucose. If the diabetic does not recognize the symptoms of impending hypoglycemia or if they do not act quickly enough they may collapse and become unconscious. In the absence of medical attention such an episode could be fatal. Once an IV is started and an ampule of 50% glucose solution is instilled the diabetic quickly wakes up and is well and without harm from the episode.

Answer 5

After intake of food loaded with glucose, the glucose being reabsorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the blood plasma glucose, which in turn increase the insulin production. Increase in insulin in the blood plasma reduces the glucose level in blood. considering this individual going to exercise shortly after the meal, the glucose consumption of the skeletal muscle will increase as well. over all, the insulin production and the muscle demand will reduce the blood glucose level dramatically. leading to all the known symptoms.

My best friend is diabetic and watchs a blood sugar crash happen naturally is scarry. glucose monitors are good if you think your diabetics, you can log what your glucose levels are before and after a meal and see what makes your body "crash".
