Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar)
What is hypoglycemia?
Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by a glucose (blood sugar) level that is too low to effectively fuel the body's blood cells. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body. According to the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the good range of blood sugar is approximately 60 to 120 mg/dL (milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood). Blood sugar levels under 60 mg/dL are too low and are considered unhealthy.

Hypoglycemia may be a condition by itself, or may be a complication of diabetes or another disorder. It is most often seen as a complication of diabetes, which is sometimes referred to as insulin reaction.

What causes hypoglycemia?
Causes of hypoglycemia in people with diabetes may include the following:

too much medication
a missed meal
a delayed meal
too little food eaten as compared to the amount of insulin taken
Other causes of hypoglycemia are rare, but may occur in early pregnancy, after strenuous exercise, or during prolonged fasting. Hypoglycemia may also result from taking certain medications, abusing alcohol, or other rare causes.

What are the symptoms of hypoglycemia?
The following are the most common symptoms of hypoglycemia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. The symptoms include:

shakiness
dizziness
sweating
hunger
headache
irritability
pale skin color
sudden moodiness or behavior changes, such as crying for no apparent reason
clumsy or jerky movements
difficulty paying attention, or confusion
tingling sensations around the mouth
The symptoms of hypoglycemia may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.

How is hypoglycemia diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and physician examination, certain blood tests are used to diagnose hypoglycemia.

When a person with diabetes has symptoms of hypoglycemia, then the cause is usually diagnosed as a complication of diabetes, or insulin reaction. It is often the result of the causes listed above.

For those who have symptoms of hypoglycemia and do not have diabetes, the disorder is diagnosed by:

measuring blood glucose levels while the person is experiencing the symptoms.
observing that the symptoms are relieved when the person eats food with a high content of sugar.
Laboratory tests to measure insulin production may also be performed.

Treatment for hypoglycemia:
Specific treatment for hypoglycemia will be determined by your physician based on:

your age, overall health, and medical history
extent of the condition
your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
expectations for the course of the condition
your opinion or preference
For persons with diabetes, the goal of treatment is to maintain a blood sugar level that is appropriate for each individual. This involves testing blood sugar often, learning to recognize the oncoming symptoms, and treating the condition quickly, based on prior instructions from the physician.

To treat low blood sugar immediately, you should eat or drink something that has sugar in it, such as orange juice, milk, or a hard candy.

For people who do not have diabetes, treatment (as directed by a physician) may include:

avoiding foods high in carbohydrates
eating smaller meals more frequently
frequent snacks
eating a variety of healthy foods
regular exercise

Hi, One problem with super high blood sugar levels is that you get sleepy. So you might have un-diagnosed diabetes, and drinking the milkshake can cause a problem. If you have a family history of diabetes, then ask someone with a meter to check your blood sugar sometime. Some pharmacies will give a free blood sugar level test - you just need to ask. If you have a level over 300, it indicates a need to see a doctor. Even levels over 150 indicate the need to see a doctor if it is taken after not eating for a few hours. But just after eating a milkshake, or something really sweet, the blood sugar can spike fairly high. You will do yourself a favor if you start to read a book about the glycemic index, and start to eat more foods that are lower on the glycemic index, these are foods that will turn into blood sugars at a slower rate. Good Luck!

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.

Don't take the mega green tea pills. Adderall is enough of an appetite suppressant. Seriously, the Adderall is all you need. You could be making yourself worse.

I would seriously advise you to visit your doctor about your condition. Firstly, did you check your blood sugar when you felt shaky?

But seriously, Visit your doctor to see if you have diabetes.Another question, When you eat a lot of carbohydrates or sugar, do you feel exstreamly tired?

my younger brother has diabetes and it runs in my family. i am also an american diabetes advocate for the american diabetes association. this is the number 1 sign you may very well have it. but...it may be reactions from your other medications. i suggest highly that you speak with your physician about this. it may not be anything to be worried over. they may just need to increase or decrease one of your other pills. or they may test you for diabetes. get checked. the only thing they will do is prick your finger with a small sticker. it doesnt hurt a bit. good luck sweetie
