Do you have to be diabetic to have?!
Question: low blood sugar or be hypoglycemic.
Answers: low blood sugar or be hypoglycemic.
No. I have hypoglycemia, have been tested for diabetes, and that test was negative. Hypoglycemia is not having enough sugar in your bloodstream. Usually it is recommended to eat several small meals throughout the day to keep your blood sugar up. Diabetes is actually a disease of the pancreas, where your body either excretes too much, or not enough insulin.
No.
Hypoglycemia in people who do not have diabetes is far less common than once believed. However, it can occur in some people under certain conditions such as early pregnancy, prolonged fasting, and long periods of strenuous exercise. People on beta blocker medications who exercise are at higher risk of hypoglycemia, and aspirin can induce hypoglycemia in some children. Drinking alcohol can cause blood sugar to drop in some sensitive individuals, and hypoglycemia has been well documented in chronic alcoholics and binge drinkers. Eating unripe ackee fruit from Jamaica is a rare cause of low blood sugar.
No. You can experience low blood glucose when you skip mealtimes or when you exercise too hard, but most people suffering this hypoglycemia have elevated insulin hormone levels. Carbohydrates consumed, stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas,so the more you eat, the more insulin gets secreted. And if you are overweight, you muscle cells gets a little resistant to the insulin through lack of proper communication. Then there's a build-up of insulin in the body and hypoglycemic episodes can become a much more frequent condition.
Generally, hypoglycemia is a side effect of diabetes treatment, but it can also result from other medications or diseases, hormone or enzyme deficiencies, or tumors.
