List of diseases
Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, occurs when your
blood glucose (blood sugar) level drops too low to provide enough energy for
your body's activities. In adults or children older than 10 years,
hypoglycemia is uncommon except as a side effect of diabetes treatment, but
it can result from other medications or diseases, hormone or enzyme
deficiencies, or tumors
Hypoglycemia is not a disease, it's a multicausal syndrome with a
variety of symptoms. Symptoms do not only show wide variation between
individuals, but can also be very different with one individual, depending on
among others physical or mental activities and state, the hour of the day and
recent food intake.
Changes in blood glucose level can lead to the following
symptoms:
- fatigue;
- vertigo;
- mood changes;
- anxiety;
- trembling hands;
- concentration/attention disorders;
- visual disturbances;
- memory problems;
|
- sudden sweating;
- constant feeling of hunger;
- sleep problems;
- nightmares;
- Candida Albicans (yeast infection);
- headache;
- menstruation disorders;
- intestinal disorders.

When one or more symptoms pertain for a long time,
the immune system is weakened. When the defense system is weakened existing
symptoms may worsen and/or new symptoms develop. In that case the hypoglycemia
syndrome may be present.
Take the following actions to
prevent it:
1. Try to recognise symptoms and prevent such episodes. Take
sugar in water or juice immediately. Those who are traveling can take chocolates
or peanut candy.
2. If a diabetic wakes up in the middle of the night with hunger
or sweating, the dosage of the medications needs to be readjusted, and it is
better to consult the physician or diabetologist
3. Those who are sick or whose intake of food is poor need to
readjust the dose of medication.
4. It is preferable to maintain HbA1C at 7%, particularly if one
has associated coronary artery disease.
Aggressive blood sugar lowering by diet or medicines is a thing
of the past. Optimal blood sugar lowering is the aim, as hypoglycaemia is found
to increase cardiovascular events and mortality
