hypoglycemia

as a bit of history: last night i had a hypo at 9.30pm. was 65 mg/dl (3.61 mmol), had a cup of milk. this morning, FBG at 9.15am was 116 (6.4). i'm trying to get into IF so only injected Lantus 8u (as per daily/most effective dosage as per basal test). but for some reason i was feeling rather...

Lucozade original used to be my go-to hypo treatment for many years. After they halved the sugar content and added sweeteners it's no good (what were they thinking? Surely nobody was drinking it for the taste, but it used to do the job, and you didn't need too much of it). I find liquid better...

Hi! My entire life I've been dealing with what I now know is reactive hypoglycemia. I vividly remember eating a ton in the morning because I was scared of getting "woozy" and not having snacks prepared during elementary school. I also remember nearly passing out several times in P.E. class just...

When my blood glucose goes very low (below 50 mg/dl), I'll often develop an aura in my eyes, kind of like dozens of flashing lights, similar to that experienced by migraine sufferers. The flashing is most intense if hypoglycemia develops when I'm outdoors (in bright daylight) and then move...

Hi. I was diagnosed as borderline hypoglycemic in second grade. I was passing out at school. I almost died from a major drop when I was 22. I don't regularly check my sugar at all. I know it's low. I know the feeling. When I've checked, the mornings are typically 75-95. The highest I've ever...

Okay, this won’t be simple to explain but I need help so I will try. I am a 27 year old female with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and gastroparesis. I don’t have much oral intake, less than 500 cals a day. I have a nasal-jejunal feeding tube. I have for a long time experienced dizzyness...

I am writing to see if anyone else has had an issue similar to mine and because it is driving me crazy! I apologize in advance for the long post. I am a 22 year old female of average height and weight (about 5'3" and 120 lbs). I am young and have never been overweight so when I was told last...

Hi, the past couple of times that my sugars have gone low enough to cause me to faint, for a few minutes before, I notice my hearing goes completely. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. It never happened to me when I was younger. I have good hypo awareness, but this symptom...

Hi all, I hope you can help me. I am on merformin for around last 6-7 weeks because of my insulin resistance. The result of my ogtt test showed that while my insulin was rising to a higher number, my blood sugar was going down rapidly. So it was reactive hypoglycemia due to insulin...

Experience has taught me that hyperglycemia may make me sleepy when as high as approximately 12 bg. But hypoglycemia, even as 4.5 and below makes me very ill: heart pain, and all the serious side effects. And so, I avoid hypoglycemia like the plague.

Hi, I am type 2 diabetic diagnosed 1.5 years ago and my HbA1c has always been fluctuating every three months between 6.3 to 7.7 at max. Couple of weeks back it totally reached to new heights 8.8 due to my poor maintenance. I completely knew it would raise but not this high and my first...

Hi guys Not really sure how this works, not really sure why I'm doing this either. I've just had an awful day i guess... I'm a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump, i was diagnosed with diabetes when i was 6 years old, I started with a pump when i was 14. I became depressed around 18 years old...

Last week while hanging out with a new mate, I began to crash. Hard. I didn't pass out, but I really wanted to. My friend suggested my blood sugar was too low and encouraged me to eat as soon as dinner arrived. I made my way home with haste after dinner and crashed out on the bed soon there...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if somebody experienced any problem with a carb cycling diet. Due to my protocol I followed 5 days of low carb (between 50g and 100g daily) with a light daily calorie deficit. Then the sixth day I dropped fat and protein intake and ate high carbs mostly from fruit...

Hey guys, Sorry to bother you again with my struggles... Just wondering if anyone lived a similar situation. So since 3 days I have a drastic change in my body's response to insulin; I became MUCH more sensitive, my insulin apparently being 500% stronger?? I started having constantly big and...

Hello I have the RH and it's so bad that it's effected my life. I have anxiety and depression because this new person is not me. I stopped driving over a year ago. I have always been a small person but in a year I gained 100 pounds. I can't get a grip on the low blood sugars. I noticed within 5...

Hello, I am currently on my first holiday abroad since diagnosis and have been very surprised by my blood sugar readings. I understand that the heat makes you more sensitive to insulin but I have spent most of my day on the verge of a hypo or actually having a hypo! I have had to check my...

I've done it- I've officially emptied B&M of all of their full-sugar orange Lucozades. I've got a cupboard and a pantry full of the stuff but of course- I'm slowly going through them, Before I do, I need, need, NEED ideas about what to use as a replacement so I'm desperately looking here for...

Hi all. I'm still relitively new to insulin and have a few nooby questions. 1) for the ladies. Can insulin mess with menstruation? I missed a period (definitely not pregnant) this month. Which is very unusual for me. Has anyone else had this? 2) night time hypos Today I had my first...
