But, I *think* that hypoglycemia itself is controlled just by diet.

Hypoglycaemia is a very serious issue, which can lead to black-outs and in extreme instances death. <br><br>Hypoglycaemia is part of diabetes [mellitus], and can occur for a variety of reasons. It rates as a medical emergency (as in: 911). Conscious patients should be given sugary drinks followed by a biscuit or two. Those who are found unconscious should be dealt with by paramedics, who will commonly administer glucagon. <br><br>I dislike tests as displayed on the hypoglycemia.org website, as they are way too unspecific. The symptoms outlined in the test could point to any number of illnesses - or NOT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792762396054034888.post-8246199747442147022007-01-30T10:06:00.000-08:002007-01-30T10:06:00.000-08:00Yes, please do, and thank you for doing so!

But, for others, it varies, and can be very serious! And, of course, an emergency situation is an emergency. I was not trying to give medical advice per se, but to alert people to the potential of having this, seeing potential symptons in another journaler. I agree that the test on there is not great, but I felt it was useful as a guide for then obtaining professional medical advice.

I'm a diabetic but I also have to be watchful for hypoglycemic episodes. I take medication for the diabetes and if I don't eat on a schedule and balance my carbs and sugars properly then I my blood sugars can drop too low or zoom too high. Neither is desirable! If anyone has any blood sugar leel issues, high or low, I would suggest seeing a doctor immediately!

I get lightheaded if I don't eat regularly because mine drops to the 70 range. I think it comes with aging, sorry to say. I wonder if you and I will have to go on meds for it eventually. I'm guessing at some point it can't be regulated with diet any more.<br><br>FredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
