What else can I help you with?
Who made hypoglycemics?
Ryan Johnson from Harvard university
What disease can be treated with oral hypoglycemics and sometimes even diet?
Diabetes type 2
What is the main action of the oral hypoglycemics?
Oral hypoglycemics primarily lower blood glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes by enhancing insulin sensitivity, stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas, or decreasing glucose production by the liver. These medications can also improve glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. By targeting various pathways involved in glucose metabolism, they help maintain better glycemic control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
Can giving insulin to someone who is hypoglycemic cause them to go into a coma?
It certainly would do them no good as hypoglycemics produce too much insulin after they eat causing a big drop in blood sugar.It's possible it could result in death.
How do you test for latent autoimmune diabetes?
anti-GAD antibodies, Islet cell antibodies, diabetes onset greater than age 30, failure to control blood sugars with oral hypoglycemics, absence of the metabolic syndrome, normal or low body mass index
How might rifampin affect other drugs?
Rifampin may make many drugs less effective. Among the drugs that may be affected are diabetes medicines taken by mouth (oral hypoglycemics), digitalis heart drugs, many antifungal drugs, and birth control pills.
What are some very facts about type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 Diabetes can be reversed when caught early by making dietary changes and increasing exercise. Often is can be controlled using oral hypoglycemics unlike Type 1 Diabetics who have to rely on insulin. One fact most people don't know is that Type 2 Diabetics can convert to Type 1 if they leave their diabetes unchecked for a period of time. This results in them having to do blood sugar checks and inject themselves with insulin to maintain a steady blood glucose level.
Oral hypoglycemics overdose?
DefinitionOral hypoglycemic pills are a class of prescription medications used to control diabetes. Oral means "taken by mouth." There are many different types of oral hypoglycemics. This article focuses on a class called sulfonylureas.An overdoseoccurs when someone accidentally or intentionally takes more than the normal or recommended amount of this medication.This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.Alternative NamesDiabetes pill overdose; Sulfonylurea overdosePoisonous IngredientThere are many types of oral hypoglycemics. The poisonous ingredient depends on the specific drug. The main (active) ingredient in sulfonylurea-based oral hypoglycemics stimulates cells in the pancreas to produce more insulin.Where FoundSulfonylurea-based oral hypoglycemics are sold under a variety of brand names. Some are listed below.Acetohexamide (Dymelor)Chlorpropamide (Diabinese)Glipizide (Glucotrol)Glyburide (DiaBeta, Micronase)Glimepiride (Amaryl)Tolbutamide (Orinase)Tolazamide (Tolinase)Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.SymptomsAgitationApathy (lack of desire to do anything)ComaConvulsionsConfusionIncreased appetiteNauseaNervousnessRapid heartbeatStuporSweatingTingling of tongue and lipsTremorBefore Calling EmergencyDetermine the following information:Patient's age, weight, and conditionName of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)Time it was swallowedAmount swallowedPoison Control, or a local emergency numberThe National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States.

What are the healthiest carbohydrates?
Unrefined complex carbohydrates are the best; whole grains, like brown rice are very healthy.The best carbohydrates are from fresh (preferable organic) vegetables and fruits. They contain many beneficial phytochemicals and fiber. If you are following a low carbohydrate diet, or if you are carbohydrate sensitive, as many overweight people are, grains and rice can cause problems, especially when refined. When digested, all carbohydrates are sugars; problematic with diabetics, hypoglycemics, and with those struggling with weight issues.Some of the sugar-related side effects can be ameliorated by taking grains in their unrefined forms. The fiber and other nutrients similar to those found in fruits and vegetables can slow down the blood sugar "spike" caused by eating sugar and other unwanted side effects.
What foods are needed for a hypoglycemic diet?
People with hypoglycemia should always eat protein first before any other food. Protein helps glucose (sugar) be absorbed in the body. Hypoglycemics should eat more fruits and veggies and less carbohydrates and sugars.
Can diabetics use the master cleanse?
Diabetics can use a substitute sweetener from agave root... see the master cleanse by Stanley Burroughs for more info! Consult your doctor before trying the cleanse and remember this is not a get thin or fit fast solution This is a way to jump start a new eating program and gain control over your eating habits and cravings. The cleanse should be the start of a new way of life where you eat healthier 95% of the time so that you can treat yourself 5% of the time. I am on day 5 of the cleanse now and plan on rolling into "the abs diet" right after which is a program to developing lean muscle, being fit, and healthy. It promotes positive eating habits such that you feel empowered by eating.. not by fasting. I encourage everyone to seek out that book and learn about healthy eating!!!! So I am using the cleanse to put behind me a regiment of non-health minded eating habits and bridge the gap between that and the abs diet. If you decide to do the cleanse hunger and habit will be your main enemies. For motivation I watched some youtube.com videos of people trying it and their stories.. very helpful when you feel like breaking the cleanse. The MOST important aspect is getting off of the cleanse!! No matter when you decide to finish be it day 3 day 10 or day 30, make sure you follow the ending portion where you gradually go back into eating. If not .. then not only will you regain what you lost in weight... but more importantly you will severely cripple the digestive productivity of your system. It would be like putting mud in your gas tank. So be sure to concentrate on that and give yourself the 3 or 4 day post cleanse program. Plan for it so that if you want to do a 3 day cleanse plan for a 7 day regime and for 10 day cleanse plan for 14 day regime I hope this opinion helps and feel free to contact me myhunterism@yahoo.com. Good Luck!!!! Mike
Overdose?
DefinitionAn overdose is when you take more than the normal or recommended amount of something, usually a drug. An overdose may result in serious, harmful symptoms or death.If you take too much of something on purpose, it is called an intentional or deliberate overdose.If the overdose happens by mistake, it is called an accidental overdose. For example, a young child may accidentally take an adult's heart medication.Your doctor may refer to an overdose as an ingestion. Ingestion means you swallowed something.An overdose is not the same as a poisoning, although the effects can be the same. Poisoning occurs when someone or something (such as the environment) exposes you to dangerous chemicals, plants, or other harmful substance without your knowledge.InformationAn overdose may be mild, moderate, or serious.
