经过erin l. boyle. 卫生师

You’ve seen that嘲笑商业用贝蒂白,对吗?她在一个饥饿的男人转变为饥饿,只有在糖果酒吧的饥饿可以将她恢复正常?结果,当涉及到低血糖(低血糖)时,商业人士被定位,其定义为低于70mg / dL的血糖。这是一个不舒服的,有时是危及生命的病情。如果您重复了低血糖的发作,或者如果您的糖水平太低,则需要快速行动以避免严重的问题。然而,对于我们大多数人来说,治疗是商业表明:沿着一些迅速消化的碳水化合物,如果汁或葡萄干。与此同时,熟悉低血糖的其他迹象。

Your Heart Is Racing

The extra adrenaline released during hypoglycemia can also cause your heart to beat fast or irregularly, which you may feel as palpitations or as a pounding sensation in your chest. Johnson says he’s used to feeling his heart racing when his blood sugar is low. A caution from Betul Hatipoglu, M.D., at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio: Take extra care to properly treat any other heart condition, since the added effect of a fast or irregular heartbeat with hypoglycemia can make both conditions worse.

你觉得很困惑和出色

随着低血糖,您的所有细胞饥饿,包括您的大脑,包括哥伦布俄亥俄州州立大学成人1型糖尿病计划所长的博士。结果,您可能会感到空闲和困惑,并且您可能会遇到沟通。患有糖尿病,让朋友和家人一般保持警惕并问,“嘿,你现在正在努力谈话吗?”建议珍妮特G. Zappe,R.N.,俄亥俄州州大学韦斯医疗中心糖尿病研究中心临床计划经理。

......你左右犯错误

继续搞砸东西?也许你已经进行了计算机错误。说话错误。计算错误。你似乎无法回到轨道上。Wyne博士说,无论你要重新组合,都认为低血糖可能会受到责备。“这是一个戏剧性的例子正在进入你的车并在某个地方驾驶,然后一个小时或两个小时后不知道你是如何到达那里的。即使你意识到你的水平很低,你也可能无法清楚地思考,以便正确做一些事情。“

You're Extra Irritated and Angry

Is your level of frustration a 20 out of 10? Angry and anxious for no obvious reason? It could be hypoglycemia. “The most common mood changes are being belligerent and argumentative,” says Dr. Wyne. “Or it could be more subtle in just refusing to discuss something or not agreeing to something that is normally acceptable to you,” she says. If your partner tells you you’re crankier than usual, take note. Personality changes like Betty’s a major sign of hypoglycemia, agrees Zappe.

You Feel Anxious and Unsettled

Extremely low blood sugar can cause anxiety because the brain isn’t getting enough fuel and you may fear what happens next. Johnson knows it’s time to check his glucose when these sensations start to creep up. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was age 5, he’s used to the anxiety bubbling up, but isn’t always successful at keeping the feelings at bay. “I work hard to manage my blood sugars, but diabetes is complicated and the tools we have are no match for a fully functioning endocrine system that can regulate things naturally,” he says.

You Feel Suddenly Tired or Sleepy

If you have diabetes and suddenly feel tired, or overwhelmingly sleepy, it can be a sign that your blood sugar is low, and your body is not getting enough energy. Rather than taking a nap—and the risk that your hypoglycemia episode will worsen–eat something, drink that juice, take your glucose tablets or gel. This isn't a time to lie down and go to sleep, no matter how much you may want to.

What to Do

With hypoglycemia, time is of the essence. Eat foods that deliver sugar quickly, and you’ll feel much better. And if you have diabetes, turbo-charge your preparations given that an extreme blood-sugar drop that can happen. A study published in theIndian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolismsaid that “acute interruption” of glucose supply to the brain could result infunctional brain failure and coma or death; we have four minutes to treat before brain cells start dying. Yep, that's totally scary, but it's also crucial information to know. With diabetes emergencies, a rescue medication called胰高血糖素(a hormone) can be used to turn things around. Ask your doctor if it's right for you.
