Does hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia only occur in diabetic people?

What are symptoms of hypoglycemia, and how low is too low?

Very often, hypoglycemia symptoms occur when blood glucose levels fall below 70 mg/dl. But, many people have blood glucose readings below this level and feel no symptoms. This is called hypoglycemia unawareness.

What is the hyperglycaemia?

An abnormally high level of glucose in the blood. It may occur acutely and transiently as a result of a binge on carbohydrate-rich foods (such as sweets and pastries), or it may be related to a disease such as diabetes mellitus.

When does ideopathic hypoglycemia occur?

Ideopathic or reactive hypoglycemia (also called postprandial hypoglycemia) occurs when some people eat. A number of reasons for this reaction have been proposed, but no single cause has been identified.

What are some hypoglycemia symptoms?

There are a variety of symptoms that could be related to hypoglycemia. Some of the common symptoms are confusion, visual disturbances or loss of conciousness. Some other symptoms that may occur are anxiety, sweating, hunger, shakiness or heart palpitations.

How hypoglycemia create?

Hypoglycemia means the glucose is lower in the blood as it ideally should be. Since glucose is the only "fuel" the brain is able to use (and is a major user of), efficient supply is particularly important for the brain. Inaduaqate supply might effect the brain up to the point where seizure can occur. More information at http://en.wikipedia.org/Wiki/Hypoglycemia

What occurs when blood glucose concentration decreases too much?

When the level of glucose in blood decreases too much insulin shock or hypoglycemia can occur. Symptoms that can develop include cold and pale skin, sweating, fainting, heart palpitations, and mental cloudiness.

Can diabetes be inherited?

Diabetes: when glycemic control fails The problem arises when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin (type 1 diabetes) or when the body does not react (becomes resistant) to its presence (type 2 diabetes). In these cases, sugar levels do not normalize after meals and this causes various problems, both short and long term. High blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia ) sustained over time damage blood vessels and increase the risk of stroke, kidney disease, vision changes, or neurological problems. For this reason, if you have diabetes, it is necessary to keep a strict control of blood glucose levels , to avoid the appearance of a diabetic coma and the development of other short and long-term health problems. What is diabetic coma? A diabetic coma is a complication of diabetes that occurs when blood glucose levels rise (hyperglycemia) or fall (hypoglycemia) excessively, causing loss of consciousness and lack of response to stimuli. This situation can be fatal, so whoever suffers from it requires immediate attention. Some symptoms that may suggest hyperglycemia are thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, dry mouth, or nausea and vomiting. Symptoms related to hypoglycemia, however, are shakiness or nervousness, fatigue, weakness, sweating, slurred speech, hunger, or nausea. In patients who suffer from diabetes for a long time, what is called "asymptomatic hypoglycemia" can sometimes occur, that is, a decrease in glucose levels that does not cause symptoms. Diabetes is hereditary depending on its type In articles on our blog such as Diseases and types of genetic inheritance or Hereditary genetic diseases: know the most frequent and the rarest , we explain that hereditary genetic diseases are those caused by alterations in one or more genes that are passed from generation to generation. But is it the case of diabetes? The answer is that it depends on the type of diabetes, although we think of diabetes as a single pathology, the causes are different and its degree of heritability varies. The main types are: Diabetes type 1 Type 2 diabetes type 1.5 diabetes MODY type diabetes Gestational diabetes Secondary diabetes (cystic fibrosis, medications, etc.) Next, we will see the main characteristics of each type of diabetes and its degree of heritability.

Diabetes Foot Problems?

The most common diabetic problem related to the feet is the loss of sensation. Diabetic people often develop blisters, sores, and calluses on their feet but do not feel it. It is important to wash the feet daily, check them in the mirror, and wear footwear that isn't too tight.

What can you expect when starving yourself of food for five weeks?

Hypoglycemia will occur, causing blurring of vision, headache, loss of consciousness, syncope, seizures, even death.

What symptoms occur in first stage for a diabetic?

Excessive thirst (polydipsia) and production/passage of large volumes of urine (polyuria)

What are the Causes and Risk Factors of Diabetic Neuropathy?

Diabetic neuropathy is a condition that can occur in people that have diabetes and it damages nerves. While this nerve damage can occur anywhere throughout the body, it most commonly occurs in the legs and feet. One of the main causes of diabetic neuropathy is the nerve fibers become damaged over time as a result of high blood sugar. High blood sugar has an effect on how the nerves can send signals to the body. One of the main risk factors for developing diabetic neuropathy is smoking, which can restrict proper blood flow throughout the body. Other risk factors include kidney disease, uncontrolled blood sugar and having diabetes for longer than 25 years.

If NPH is given at 7AM when is hypoglycemic reaction going to happen?

Hypoglycemic reactions can occur within 1-2 hours after taking NPH insulin. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels closely, especially during this time to prevent and manage hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include sweating, shaking, dizziness, confusion, and hunger.
