- Video guide to hypoglycemia - how to spot hypoglycemia, what it means to have a hypo and recognising the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Sue Marshall discusses the ups and downs of hypoglycemia - which is when blood sugar levels fall under 4 mmol/L.
For more information about hypos, have a look at:

Avoid quick carbs and try to eat foods that last longer in your bloodstream, like brown rice, oatmeal, beans, etc. As tempting as it may be to reach for quick sugar or candy (even fresh fruit), don't!!! Eating such foods will provide quick fix for the moment but have a hard sugar crash later, making your symptoms far worse than when the hypoglycemic attack started!!!
modestgirl58 Only get the glycemic tabs either in tablet form or liquid and just take one at a time or 1 teaspoon of peanut butter. These raise my blood sugar really fast but if I eat anything more it will go over and go to high. See Dr. Richard Bernstein on TH-cam if you really want to know how to treat diabetes! He literally saved my life.
I have suffered for decades from very extreme hypoglycaemia (meaning that my values were often 1 - 3, very low, but true). I sweated a lot from this (not a problem of itself, but a symptom of it). About a year ago I switched to a very low carb diet (not quite keto, about 55 grams of carbs per day). It wasn't even for the hypoglycaemia, but amazingly, almost immediately I stopped sweating, my blood-sugar was normal, and I haven't had any problems with it since.
I am not trying to push anything, but if anyone can benefit from my experience, I am happy to have shared this.
What did you eat each day?
@@mnguitar1 The most important thing was to cut all sugars (both artificial and natural), caffeine (decaf for the taste instead) and alcohol... the last two completely, and if I want anything sweet, only a very small bit, and on a full stomach (after dinner).
I concur, I am on keto and it has cured my unbalanced blood sugar.
I was put on metformin and started suffering hypoglycemia and I had no idea what it was. My doctor didn't educate me she only wanted to push pills on me. I thought I was suffering from anxiety attacks. If your doctor puts you on diabetes meds for prediabetes, find a new doctor. If you decide to take those meds ask your doctor to prescribe you a glucose meter. Mine didn't. Unless I'm falling out into sugar comas I won't be taking anymore diabetes meds
I know wat you are saying
I suffer from hypoglycemia too. At school and now in college I have problems with the headaches, sweating and all that stuff. On top of that I am overweight. Whenever I exercise and keep sugary foods away, I suffer from hypoglycemia and it sucks. Hypoglycemia doesn't go away until I eat a bunch of stuff ( specially sweet foods) and then there goes my diet plan. This thing really sucks if you are overweight too. I don't have diabetes though but still I suffer from this constantly.
Do you feel hungry even after eating?
No bro
oh I can relate to that man!
I haven't had diagnosed hypo but if j don't eat when I "should" and exercise and haven't had enough of a big meal it feels like it's OVER.
I lose control of.my body temperature, my functioning I shake i.panic it's just horrible I feel.like I'm zoning out and possibly dying and I realise it's simply because I haven't eaten yet and "just done a bit too much exercise " or walked a bit too long it's usually after a period of activity.
after I adequately stuff my face enough to feel better it's like it never happened until I get it wrong the next time :/ really sucks
Look after yourself !
@@vvelvettearss did you do your quick blood test when it happened?
Something just happened to me while I was in the shower. I started to start showering and then all of a sudden I felt really really weak and like my hearing was really low like muffled and I couldn’t stand anymore like I honestly couldn’t hold myself up and I let myself fall like it was crazy , I also started shaking a little bit after. This has happened before once months ago but I never thought it would happen again and I’m worried.
Was it a hot shower ,maybe your blood pressure was low
This happened to me too, my hearing went muffled and hard to hear and I lost touch of reality and very panicked. I didn't know what was going on and I had a lot of confusion. I finally found out that I was hungry despite me eating a couple of hours before. I started to feel better after eating but my hearing was bad for the rest of the day. I was not showering at the time, I was walking home from a local store. It was crazy!
You must should be tested T3 T4 TSH and CBC and Lipid profile test
hey! im here because i happen to have hypoglycemia, but i saw your comment and, im not a doctor, but i have POTS, and frequently faint from it, or at least collapse. losing hearing like that is exactly what happens to me when i have an episode. its caused by oxygen not getting to your head appropriately. several things can cause something like that, hot showers is deffinately one of them. so are hot days, medical issues reguarding the circulatory system, other stuff. hypoglycemia is def on that list, but i would still go see a doctor. even if it is hypoglycemia there are tons of medical issues that can cause hypoglycemia itself. also, even healthy people can get episodes of fainting or hypoglycemia with no real underlying cause, just happens sometimes, so dont worry too much.
I often experience hypoglycemia not due to diabetes but due to systematic undereating. Actually, after some time you start getting addicted to it because it causes you to lose touch with reality and it feels like you are somewhere else.
Yes! I know this is an old comment so sorry about that but yes! I don't even feel like myself when I go hypo and it usually happens when I under-eat. I feel so weird and alien. My speech gets slurred and I get really panicky.
Does hypoglycemia really cause this disassociation?
Don't panick. You won't die if you learn how to take care of yourself. hypoglycemia is only fatal if your blood sugar gets too low, you can die from a grand mall siezure. But not every grand mall siezure is necessarily fatal. But best to avoid since they also effect your brain. If your blood sugar is too low, you may get a glucometer to test it regular. But there are different levels. I have never had a siezure in my life and have had it undiagnosed since childhood! Maybe you know this by now.
I used to get this and it was horrible. I didn't have diabetes but had adrenal insufficiency. No one warned me about it and I didn't understand what was happening. I would find myself ravenously hungry, violently shaking, filled with panic as though I might die, and barely capable of finding the food and getting it into my mouth. Plates and cups would fall to the ground and smash in the process. Awful!
I feel hypo after eating too much sugar ,it's weird ,it's like a sugar crash
I don't have diabetes but if I don't eat for a long period I feel like I'm going to pass out
Me too
Mine hits fast. I was trying to get the meal done. Not shaky not sweating just felt weak and like I could pass out. I ran to the bed and fell into bed and sleepy. Then I thought oh I best check my sugar just in case. I told my husband and I got wait a minute. It was low and I finally got me some orange juice. And in a few I was recovering!
I have the same symptoms. I'm actually seeing my doctor this month so he will be informed.
How are u doing now?
Is EXTREME hunger part of hypoglycemia? Everyone in my family has type 2 diabetes (none of which are obese), and I have never been diagnosed. Now when I get shakey, I also feel EXTREMELY hungry.
Yes,severe hunger ,but I also get nauseous
Wow. Terrific. Clear. Concise. Insightful. Sensible.
Can you have hypoglycemia without an diabetes diagnosis. I have issues where I have gotten hot dizzy and fainted three times especially if I have a few drinks its pretty bad today
yes.
Just because one has hypoglycemia doesn't mean they have diabetes
I have kinda light hypoglycemia but I need to have sugar, but can't have to much really I just eat crackers, or juice and some rest and sit down and just breath.
Burning up almost all of your available blood sugar. Not eating properly. Medium to extreme exertion when low on available blood sugar. I think the best cure is some sugar/glucose, then a small amount of easily digested carbs, because the sugar gives you enough energy to digest, and the carbs are going to hang around and stabilise your sugar levels. Should probably have small meals throughout the day, and include some carbs, and always keep some 97% glucose handy in the form of tablets.
idk how to explain it
i just randomly become really weak and then everything seems weird my eye sight seems fuzzy and i feel out of it or im about to pass out. then i randomly start shaking and become really really hungry to the point that im shaking so i start eating a lot even if i just ate. then it calms down and im fine again. and this has happened sevral times throught the past 3 months and im worried
Same but I’m not hungry and my heart beating very fast
Ive had hypoglycemia when I was 9 now I'm 14 I be actually had this symptoms well it went to 32 once but nothing happened and thank you Soo much it helped me alot 🥰
I have a question, when I have middle low blood sugar such as pain in body, swetting, shaking, thirsty, heartache, feeling dizzy and confused,
if I'm not near sugar... I find taking off my clothes stalls the fainting.
If I'm hot I will faint much quicker than when I am cold, why is that?
I get the same way. be careful with that. when your body starts reacting to low blood sugar its super low. get something to eat as soon as you can. I've fainted before. there's something called a diabetic coma that can happen if you let it go on too long.
I’ve had hypoglycaemia since I was 6 (I’m 14 atm) before that I had epilepsy, I was in and out of hospital for a few years but I don’t have that anymore so that’s good. When I was I think 4-6 years old the only thing I would eat was rice for 4 years. My mum would try and give me other food but I wouldn’t eat it (the only other thing I had was Corn Flakes which is a Australian cereal), in the end I had to have a tube put in me to help me eat or something? Idk. I used to be really skinny as a kid but now I’m healthy and probably eat a bit to much tbh
Whats a good sugar level after eating? Carb meal? I’m not diabetic but I believe I’m insulin resistant
i do not on insulin.i started having dizzy spells and headaches about the time i started school i am 26 now. a lot of people think it is in my head. i have tested my blood and have never been higher then 130 ml. but i have been as low as 42 ml. i have not changed my diet or activities but i have hypo attacks a lot. Dr. R keeps telling me there is nothing wrong with me. yet i have collapsed at work and other public places Dr R use to think that i skipped meals or took insulin to make my sugar drop. i wake at 6:30 am breakfast at 7 am oatmeal, 1st snack 10 am fresh fruit, lunch at 1 pm sandwich and flavored brown rice, 2nd snack at 4 pm mixed nuts. dinner at 7 pm salad with beans or rice, 3rd snack at 9:30 pm yogurt, ice cream, or cottage cheese. bed at 10:30 pm. i institutionalized my self in ISO for 2 week and has 5 hypos and 2 seizures. Dr R had them checked for contraband and they found nothing .i was allowed 3 meals a day and only water. Dr R has been my family's Dr sense before i was born. he delivered me and my older sisters. he still keeps saying there is nothing wrong with me i have found a new Dr they ran a bunch of tests to day hope they will find the cause of the headaches and other thinks
when you have fruits choose low GI fruits like Cherries,Plums,Peaches etc..also have more proteins and less carbs..bedtime snacks try crackers and cheese.don't eat ice cream or any sweet snacks before bed.. also ask your doctor to do the glucose test..which is like 5 hr test.good luck
anybody else feel like they have to throw up and poop at the same time?
This is very helpful. I do feel most of these symptoms, but in addition to this I feel at this a very sharp and constant sort of headache, and I feel as if I had a nail driving through the side of my head. Could this be related?
you simply need to eat something with protein and/or fat not suger if this helps then yes it is related
i have glycogen storage disease type 3a with muscle and liver involvement, i get hypoglycemia and its horrible, i get cold clammy sweats really bad actually just drips off me, ive just bought a new medical bracelet because i have a really bad episode last week and was nearly passing out
See Dr. Richard Bernstein on TH-cam! He has literally saved my life!
When I did my blood sugar test it showed 57 on the meter was this a hypo?
Yes it is. Get some sugar fast when that happens
Yeah
sorry I'm so late but yes, 80 to 120 is normal for a non diabetic person:)
@@ryleehitter6963 hi, i am 87 glucose level but i have extreme hunger. Is this normal?
Thank you for best information
I have no diabetes I feel hypoglycemia how can remove this hypoglycemia
I tested my sugar before twice and it was close to too high levels... but i have all the symptoms of this hypo stuff. I need to eat all the time , have blurry vision waking up and keep forgetting stuff if i don't eet every second hour during my physical jobb.
I did drink a lot for years but drink less now. Could it be i have low sugar now ?
Almonds and qigong. Cured myself over 10 years ago. Anything to do with the pancreas is about being able to digest the ups and downs in life. ;) Hyper or hypo. Works both ways. What is in this video is spot on I completely agree on that.
I went for a 2 mile jog the day after my dads birthday. we ate many a foods even cake. in my jog the day after his birthday. i crashed hard and had all the described symptoms in the middle of my jogg! I was mad because I had never had the hypo happen to me during my jogging even before my dads birthday. and i had been jogging a couple a months before. so weird.
Thank you
Do people get irritable when blood sugar levels drop?
Hunter Lodge Stables yup most defenitly..I do alot 🤭😂
I feel off balance lot like disequilibrium! mainly comes on during alot of salt or sugar intake, Got an inner ear problem too! I notice if I eat well like my greens! I feel better but I eat so much rubbish!
is there anything that might trigger a hypoglycemic episode?
Carbs or other things if your non diabetic because your body might over react to them and release too much insulin
Is 87 glucose high or low? I am always hungry lately but i dont believe i am diabetic
Good describe
Helpful
I am not anyway diabetic. A couple of people in my family but they never had it like mine. I constantly get up in the middle of the night to get a snack. For a while I was drinking vanilla flavoured Pedialite shakes. I get hungry/shaky in a matter of 40-50 minutes after eating some food. I heard that you can buy a Blood Glucose Meter over the counter at a drug store, you must be eighteen to buy it. Should I get a Blood Glucose Meter to make sure I don't have very low blood sugar? I am a 15 year old girl, turning 16 in August.
how are you now Alia? how are u dealing with your hypoglycemia? i was diagnosed too of this health problem last month and it's been like hell. :(
olive oyl I was put on medication to treat ADHD. It was causing me problems with my blood sugar, energy and depression. It has improved a lot since I was taken of the medication. I drink a protein shake, soda and eat a bagel in the morning. I drink a vitamin water during lunch and have dessert at night. I don't have a blood sugar Meter. I keep snack items with me wherever I go, to keep my blood sugar up.
Alia Phelps good for you. me, i am still getting the hang of it. i am scheduled for a thorough test this 27th to really check what's going on as the symptoms don't go away. i am even afraid to go out nor drive because, when i get hungry, i feel like passing out everytime...
Something happened to me today actually, I woke up and was so nauseous and fatigued, I was just sweating excessively and I couldn't really hear out of my right ear but there was a constant ringing and since I was so nauseous I felt like I needed to puke so bad I had to hobble to the bathroom and I was so weak I could only lay in the floorand I was super confused and scared and when I did regain some strength I went back to bed and even though it was hard I eventually went back to sleep for hours and I'm feeling ok right now but this has happened before a few months ago and another episode happened a few years ago.
Get your blood sugars checked if not yet! I have had similar symptoms and recently tested positive for hypo
This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, you have created a life that I thought was lost, thank you so much for curing my Type 2 Diabetes
The only reason I'm watching this video is because my girlfriend just got digenosed with hypoglycemia and i have no idea how to react😥
Lil Miss Insanity Just keep glucose tablets around and peanut butter. She can eat a teaspoon of peanut butter whenever she feels low and check it 15 minutes later and if not you another teaspoon. See Dr. Richard Bernstein on TH-cam!
i have Hipo :/ i found out today :/
@John Mejia Just go to your doctor or clinic, and they'll do blood tests based on what symptoms you tell them you're having. Mine did three blood tests for $20.
Yes you can i have hypoglycemia too :/
Meeting Dr IGUDIA TH-cam channel was the beginning of a new life for me after using his herbs medication in curing my Diabetes disease.
liverpool has beens
I live with hypoglycemia and its easy I never carry food with me I just get really hungry at school sometimes so my mom packs one slim jim mini to eat between locker breaks
Are u diabetic?
so what you sayin is that people with Hypoglycemia NEED TO SNAP BACK TO REALITY, OOP THERE GOES RAB-
lol brilliant
Neonatal newborn - hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar)
The prophet of Allah (God) made mandatory the practise of Taḥnīk (تَحْنِيكِ) for newborn babies, which is an Islamic ceremony of touching the lips of a newborn baby with honey, sweet juice or pressed dates. Originally the date was softened by mastication by the pious person and rubbed on the infant's palate.
The taḥnīk also *exercises the muscles of the mouth* and helps with the *circulation of blood* in the mouth - this may help the baby to be able to suck and take mother's milk. It is also credited to prevent *neonatal hypoglycemia* in newborn babies.
Now tell me. The western world has just acquired this knowledge. With all the gadgets and equipment and technology and professional knowledge, skills and team work - how did a man who neither knew how to read and write at the time of his prophethood, *know* such a thing? Among some many other miracles and prophecies of the future.
There is no god except Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger.
This is the truth.
This is the truth.
This is the truth
Worst advice ever
