What causes hypoglycemia in diabetics?

Diabetics develop diabetes because they have too much sugar, so they are more cautious and cautious in controlling their sugar. So just think about it and know how hypoglycemia in diabetics is caused. It is more difficult to treat hypoglycemia in diabetic patients.

But only by taking your time with your heart will you be able to effectively control it.

Diabetics usually attach great importance to the control of their blood sugar, blood sugar is too low or too high is harmful, and the causes of hypoglycemia in diabetics mainly include improper use of drugs, reduced eating or malabsorption, improper exercise, etc., it is recommended that patients should treat the symptoms according to their own hypoglycemia causes.

In real life, many diabetics will deliberately control their sugar intake, so as not to cause high blood sugar, which will cause various discomforts and complications, but if diabetics do not pay attention to it, they may also have hypoglycemia, so why do diabetics often have hypoglycemia? There are three factors that contribute to hypoglycemia to know.

1. Improper use of drugs. Clinical data show that more than half of the diabetic hypoglycemic reaction is caused by the improper use of hypoglycemic drugs, among these drugs, mainly insulin and sulfonylurea drugs are used improperly, or or or the wrong use of other drugs that affect glucose metabolism, some drugs will have some impact on glucose metabolism after taking, so diabetics in the process of ** must pay attention to observation when taking some drugs, and do regularly go to the hospital to check blood sugar status.

2. Reduced food intake or malabsorption. In daily life, reasonable dietary conditioning of diabetic patients can effectively improve the effect and efficacy of hypoglycemic drugs, but if the intake of sugar is too restricted, or if the intake is reduced, it is easy to cause hypoglycemia in diabetic patients.

3. Improper exercise. In daily life, appropriate exercise can effectively promote the body's metabolic status, improve the patient's immunity, and play a certain role in the improvement of diabetes symptoms, but if the amount of exercise is too much, or irregular exercise, it may cause excessive consumption of glucose, thus causing patients to have hypoglycemic reaction.

The above specific analysis is the cause of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients, mainly in the above three aspects, here I would like to remind you that diabetics in the process of the disease, if there is too low blood sugar is also very dangerous, and the harm will even exceed high blood sugar, so diabetic patients must pay more attention in the usual process and always be vigilant about whether they have hypoglycemia.

Prevention of hypoglycemic reactions is one of the complications of diabetes mellitus**. It's not scary, as long as it's detected early and timely**, it can be quickly relieved. However, delays** will have serious consequences.

Therefore, all diabetic patients and their families should be alert to hypoglycemic reactions and be familiar with their symptoms and self-help methods.

1. Use an appropriate amount of hypoglycemic drugs every day under the guidance of a doctor**. And regularly check blood glucose, adjust the dose in time, and do not increase the amount of hypoglycemic drugs at will.

2. Eat regularly and quantitatively, and keep your daily life regular. When it is necessary to delay meals, you should pre-eat an appropriate amount of biscuits or fruits.

3. Keep the daily exercise time and amount of exercise basically unchanged. Try to arrange exercise 1-2 hours after meals, so it is not easy to hypoglycemia when blood sugar is high. Generally, it is not advisable to exercise on an empty stomach, and if you do have the habit of exercising in the morning, you should also eat appropriately before exercising.

When doing activities for a longer period of time, such as hiking, outings, etc., the amount of insulin (or oral hypoglycemic drugs) can be appropriately increased or appropriately reduced after the activity.

4. Try to quit drinking. If you have to drink (e.g., attending an important banquet, etc.), you should only drink a small amount under good blood sugar control, and you should eat some food before drinking.

5. People who are prone to hypoglycemia should carry sugary foods such as hard candy or sugar cubes, biscuits, etc., in case of hypoglycemia attacks. Record the time and frequency of hypoglycemia, the relationship with medications, meals or exercise, and the experience of symptoms, so as to contact the doctor in time and adjust the ** plan.

6. Severe hypoglycemic reactions, such as delirium, should be sent to the emergency department immediately**. Cause.

1. Causes of hypoglycemia* Blood sugar is lowered due to insufficient sugar intake, or poor digestion and absorption;

Liver disease or lack of enzymes for sugar metabolism leads to insufficient storage and utilization of sugar;

Decrease hormones that raise blood sugar, such as growth hormone, cortisol, glucagon, and adrenaline;

There are too many hormones and substances that lower blood sugar levels, such as insulin.

The body consumes too much sugar.

2. Symptoms of hypoglycemia.

In the early stage of hypoglycemia, due to the reaction of sympathetic nerves and adrenal medulla to hypoglycemia, palpitation, hunger, weakness, tremors of hands and feet, irritability, paleness, sweating, increased heart rate, mild increase in blood pressure, etc., and then if hypoglycemia can not be relieved in time, the brain is affected and consciousness is hazy, drowsiness, sweating, tremor, convulsions, mental disorders, etc.

3. Several common hypoglycemias.

For people with diabetes, if they don't eat on time, they are very likely to experience hypoglycemia. In order to prevent this kind of problem from coming to your door, you must keep a light diet at a fixed time and at a fixed point, and try to maintain a light diet during meals. Many diabetic patients are busy at work, but everyone still has to focus on their own health.

Once you have diabetes, you need to control your calorie intake. For some patients, their food intake is too few calories, and some people choose to control their diet, so the daily calorie intake is less than the calories consumed by the body, which will cause rapid weight loss. At the same time, once you eat too little food, you will have a calorie deficit, and you will consume more calories before the next meal, so you are very prone to hypoglycemia.

Therefore, you should not be too strict in controlling your diet, and you can plan according to your daily calorie needs every time you eat, so that you can prevent your physical condition from getting worse and worse. <>

Many diabetic patients will do a moderate amount of exercise, but if the amount of exercise is too large or when exercising, it does not follow the existing plan, which will lead to problems in the body. Therefore, you must do some low-intensity exercise, you can choose yoga or walking, and try to take care of your body. Because everyone needs to take medicine while controlling their diet, if they don't follow the doctor's instructions, it is likely that everyone's problems will become more and more serious.

If the hypoglycemia is caused by the unreasonable use of the drug, you need to go to the hospital to seek help from a doctor in time. If the strength of lowering blood sugar is too high and has exceeded the range that the body can bear, you must ask the doctor to give appropriate guidance and adjustment. Because there are many reasons for hypoglycemia, everyone must prescribe the right medicine according to their actual situation, so as to achieve the best results.

Diabetic patients generally do not eat breakfast, or control their diet for the sake of **, and some improper exercise methods will cause hypoglycemia; We must eat on time in our daily life and control our diet, do not overeat, we must also take steps when exercising, avoid too aggressive exercise, and also cooperate with the doctor's instructions to take medication every day.

Eating too little or irregularly, long-term high-intensity exercise, giving too much insulin, pre-diabetic factors, these may cause hypoglycemia; In terms of diet, if you go out or exercise, try to bring some small snacks, control your blood sugar through moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, monitor your blood sugar at all times, and eat as soon as possible after injection.

Diabetic patients may experience hypoglycemia in these cases if they exercise on an empty stomach, suddenly increase the amount of exercise during the illness, do not eat after insulin injection, and eat too low in calories; Drugs such as insulin should be used promptly, and fasting exercise should be avoided.
