What is Hypoglycemia? It's causes, effect and best treatment in Emergency.

If you have insulin-treated diabetes we should talk about hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is when your blood sugar falls too low. Some of the most common signs and usually the first symptoms of Hypoglycemia are shaking, racing heart, sweating anxiety, and hunger to understand why these symptoms occur. We have to talk about your liver, there are two ways your body gets the sugar it needs for energy. One you eat foods that contain Carbohydrate to your liver makes sugar. When your blood sugar falls too low your body releases Hormones, like Glucagon and Epinephrine. Which is also known as Adrenaline Glucagon, and Epinephrine. Tell your liver to release the sugar it has stored, and to start making new sugar. You also release Epinephrine or adrenaline during stressful or scary situations. So that's why some of the early symptoms of Hypoglycemia like sweats a racing heart and anxiety are similar to how you would feel if you are being chased by a bear. The second type of symptoms happens when your blood sugar falls low enough that, your brain is no longer getting enough sugar for fuel. These later symptoms might include difficulty concentrating, confusion, weakness, vision changes, and difficulty speaking. What causes Hypoglycemia? You can think about your blood sugar as a scale on one side. You have Carbohydrate bringing your blood sugar up and on the other side you have things like insulin exercise or alcohol bringing your blood sugar down. If the scale is tipped too much in one direction, your sugar will be too high and if it is tipped too much in the opposite direction your sugar will be too low. So how can you avoid Hypoglycemia? Well, you need to balance the scale. For example, you need to match the amount of insulin you are taking with the amount of Carbohydrate you are eating, or if you are exercising, you either need to eat more Carbohydrate or take less insulin. What should you do if you have symptoms of Hypoglycemia test your blood sugar to see if it is low? If it low consumes a source of fast-acting sugar like sugar juice, regular pop, or dextrose tablets. Most people need around 15 grams of glucose to treat mild or moderate Hypoglycemia in about 15 minutes. Check to make sure your blood sugar has gone back up. If it hasn't then taken another 15 grams of glucose, if you are not planning to eat within the next hour have a starchy snack, like three plain cookies, crackers and cheese or an apple. Hypoglycemia is likely to happen sometimes, When you have insulin-treated diabetes try to plan ahead to prevent it, and just in case carry a fast-acting sugar with you to treat it. If it does happen always take the symptoms of Hypoglycemia seriously if your blood sugar gets very low it can cause you to pass out or have a seizure, and it can even be fatal. If you have more than two or three low blood sugars in a week, if you have a low sugar that needs the help of someone else or if you stop feeling the symptoms of low blood sugar talk to your diabetes team. They'll help you with your diabetes management so that you can continue to do the things you enjoy.
