How to overcome low blood sugar
How to overcome low blood sugar?
I am Avinash Sutar, 45 (height 5’5â€, weight 72 kg), suffering from Diabetes Type 2 Mellitus since 5 years. Lately, daily I’ve been suffering from low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia) in the evening at about 7-8am. I take Glimer 1mg half in the morning, Glucobay 25mg during lunch/dinner and Glyciphage 500mg during lunch/dinner. I also take Losar 50 which is prescribed by doctors for maintaining blood pressure, which is between 90/160. What is the reason for this low blood sugar? I feel symptoms of it such as dizziness, headache. What should I do to overcome this?

it mean u are not eating right u have to eat 3 meals a day + fruits and if u are having lows u need to get in touch with ur doctor to cut back on ur tables also take some thing with sugar in it to bring u back up i also take glucophage 1000 twice a day with other tables and some time they make me low so low i some time go to sleep other time i feel so drunk i can nt walk also get pain in head or get very cold over my back when low ,or if low when a sleep if feel if im falling off a hight rock

One thing is your Blood pressure is way High. Start on a low glcemic index diet. Too many carbs can send you high then you may crash to low glucose levels. Heres what I would do. Start to exercise daily. It will lower glucose level, lower Blood Pressure and also Cholesterol. A great Glycemic Index diet is :http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm This table includes the glycemic index and glycemic load of more than 2,480 individual food items. Not all of them, however, are available in the United States. They represent a true international effort of testing around the world. The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggers–the higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. So a low GI food will cause a small rise, while a high GI food will trigger a dramatic spike. A list of carbohydrates with their glycemic values is shown below. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI of 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55 or less is low. The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesn't tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. You need to know both things to understand a food's effect on blood sugar. That is where glycemic load comes in. The carbohydrate in watermelon, for example, has a high GI. But there isn't a lot of it, so watermelon's glycemic load is relatively low. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of 11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low. Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Foods with an intermediate or high GL range from very low to very high GI. Both GI and GL are listed here. The GI is of foods based on the glucose index–where glucose is set to equal 100. The other is the glycemic load, which is the glycemic index divided by 100 multiplied by its available carbohydrate content (i.e. carbohydrates minus fiber) in grams. (The "Serve size (g)" column is the serving size in grams for calculating the glycemic load; for simplicity of presentation I have left out an intermediate column that shows the available carbohydrates in the stated serving sizes.) Take, watermelon as an example of calculating glycemic load. Its glycemic index is pretty high, about 72. According to the calculations by the people at the University of Sydney's Human Nutrition Unit, in a serving of 120 grams it has 6 grams of available carbohydrate per serving, so its glycemic load is pretty low, 72/100*6=4.32, rounded to 4. Also try 5 or 6 very small meals a day. Good luck Tin

Your Body Mass Index of 26.5 kg/M2 is higher than ideal for your ethnicity. You are taking glimiperide 1 mg 1/2 tablet each morning, and metformin hydrochloride (Glucophage) 500 mg with lunch and dinner. You are taking losartan potassium for hypertension. I am not familiar with 'glucobay' and it would be helpful if you would send me the generic or chemical name. If you are experiencing hypoglycemic episodes (which may include the symptoms of dizziness and headache) then the dosage of your diabetes medications must be reduced. Since you are on such a low dosage of glimiperide that may be the place to start. It is my believe that oral sulfonylureics such as glimiperide are self-defeating. These drugs lead to an increased apoptosis (cell death) of the beta (insulin producing) cells of the pancreas and in theory lead to premature pancreatic beta cell failure committing a person to insulin. Your blood pressure reading is not at all clear. It sounds as if you are stating that your blood pressure varies from 90 to 160 mm Hg. I must assume that this is your systolic blood pressure. A 70 mm Hg variation during the course of a day or across several days would not be theoretically possible. The largest swings in blood pressure reported in more than 200 published trials of 24 hour monitoring of blood pressure has been a variance of 50 mm Hg. You may wish to clarify your blood pressure readings with both the systolic and diastolic numbers and if you send them to me I will be happy to respond. If I may be of further assistance please let me know. I wish you the very best of health and in all things may God bless. JR

Hypothetically with knowing how to identify one who is having a acid-base deficit could I diagnosis someone
Hypothetically with knowing how to identify one who is having a acid-base deficit could I diagnosis someone?
I was recently taught in the nursing program about acid and bases in my pathophysiology class and now just finished the course. If for example a patient comes into ER with symptoms of feeling fatigue and having a distinguish fruity smell from their breath. I suspect ketoneacidosis and that he/she may have type 1 diabetes mellitus. With getting the lab values back from the lab I see that his/her blood serum ph is 7.45 , PCO is 30mmHg and the HCO is 28mmHg. With knowing this I see that the patient is experiencing Respiratory Alkaline with a complete metabolic compensate. I this a possible diagnosis or even a proper one? With this knowledge of being able to figure out someone who is with such symptoms and then seeing on their lab values and such and making a diagnosis is possible? I know I can't really make a diagnoses and that only can a physician do so, but I was just wondering out of curiosity? Thanks! note: HCO is 20mmHg not 28mmHg

A patient with the fruity smell on their breath is going to be a Diabetic Ketoacidosis patient, Acidosis being the key factor there. They breathe fast in order to blow off the carbon dioxide which is causing the acidosis. I think that a PH of 7.45 is very unlikely in this situation. The diagnosis should be Comensated metabolic alkylosis. Normal lab values for HCO is 22-26, so that is elevated and causing the high end of normal on the PH. The PCO normal range is 35-45, it is decreased to compensate for the high bicarb. Bottom line, the Bicarb value is high. The respiratory factor PCO is low to compensate for the high bicarb. Hope this helps!

1. Exocrine glands are glands that retain ducts to body surfaces. Most glands of the body are exocrine types with ducts connecting to anatomical surfaces; salivary, sweat. Endocrine glands are therefore referred to as "ductless" glands. Endocrine glands are the hormone producing structures of the body; pancreas, thyroid. Ugh, only one answer per question ><
