Low Blood Sugar--what is the reason behind?

Hello friend, how are you? Wife of my brother has this problem, she carries glucose always, as soon as she feels like what you have said, she dissolves 2 spoonfuls in water and swallos, at times she keeps the powder over tounge and sucks, it gives instant relief.. Thanks for sharing Best of luck. Professor

Low blood sugar level or hypoglycemia is a condition where there is low blood sugar level in the body and that low blood sugar is supplied to the brain. This can be prevented by proper medical treatment by consulting an endocrinologist who specializes in the treatment and management of all endocrine glands malfunction. A practical remedy for hypoglycemia is to take sugar solution or candy when you feel some dizziness,cold clammy perspiration and weakness. Sugar can give immediate relief especially if it is put under the tongue where there is fast absorption.

Hi jisir, I had just mentioned about you in one of the discussions I had joined yesterday and glad to see your new discussion notification while checking my mailbox today Even though I have very little knowledge related to this, still I have interest to learn more reading the posts available here. I have friends with diabetes suffer from too high or too low blood sugar level. So they have to appropriate food, suitable physical exercise other than taking medicine to balance their blood sugar level to prevent any undesired dizzy, cold sweating, pallor, anxiety, etc. Thanks for the sharing for I have gained valuable info from it Happy posting

I think sometimes I will have this problem, too. Especially when I am very hungry. I wonder whether usually the people who have low blood sugar are thin. We don't have more fat inside to burn. So when we are hungry, sometimes we will feel faint. Usually we will be alright when we eat something. Your colleague had the blood test in the morning and I am sure she didn't have a breakfast at that time. Perhaps this is why she didn't feel well after that. It should not be any big problems to this issue. I love China

Hi William ~ as we all knew the basic procedure before taking blood test is to take fast for 8 - 12 hours OR in other words do not eat or drink anything past midnight a day before the testing. I profoundly experienced this kind of situation during my previous treatment for my sudden heart attack on February 10, 2008. So, to avoid from having too low blood sugar level (LBSL) after taking blood test, just ensure taking heavy meal before the scheduled fasting period. Another thing to understand is about when is "Empty Stomach Level" happens? It is about 2 hours after taking any meal. Meaning that, the rest hours (10) within the fasting period our body is using the stored fat. Don't worry about Gwyneth's health status regarding her LBLS, as it isn't a disease but only a common phenomenon. I do believe she got the TRUE results from her latest blood test. I also do hope that she has heard about what is HLB Blood Test? A blood test which I had been going through for years (I shared long time ago an article on internet about how HLB Blood Test works and looks like ~ youtube & blog).

if it was a fasting test where she had nothing to eat that day, then yes this would happen. its happened to me and ive had to have a sucker/lolipop/whatever handy to bring it back up after the test. not much you can do unless you get something right after the test. are they sure she did not have a panic attack? that happens after that also

Around here, especially when a person has to give a lot of blood for blood tests, especially if they are prone to have Health issues like Diabetes, etc. they usually will ask the person if they are OK, or dizzy and will even offer some juice for them if need be. Have they ever offered juice or anything to your colleague when this happens, or have any explanations for this?

[b] Hello my friend williamjisir Ji, well I would say that people having such things must eat sufficient sugar before such tests. I would bring out something from experts as below : "But for quick first aid you should know how to avert prolonged blackouts that may cause irreparable brain damage. Signs of coming attack: clamminess, dilation of the Pupils, which is connected with increased sensitivity to light, faster pulse, shakiness, jitters. These may be followed with fainting after which confusion and disorientation may appear. To avert these or other symptoms you may eat candy, a rich dessert, or drink cola, or other sweetened fluids. But never consider these a treatment, because if you do not do something else, the symptoms will come back soon. It is much better to prevent the symptoms by eating some protein food about an hour before the symptoms usually appear, and follow the diet prescribed for low blood sugar patients, even before you can see a doctor for thorough examination.

She may have an over-active pancreas - this is the organ that releases insulin during digestion and is responsible in maintaining a normal blood sugar level. It's ggod to include in her blood test the so called Hb1ac test. This determines her blood sugar level for the past 90 days. Abnormal blood sugar levels also indicate pre-diabetes stage. Hope she'd visit her doctor again and tell her about her glucose level.
