Recurrent mild hypoglycemia may fit a reactive hypoglycemia pattern, but this is also the peak age for idiopathic postprandial syndrome, and recurrent "spells" in this age group can be traced to orthostatic hypotension or hyperventilation as often as demonstrable hypoglycemia. [citation needed] Insulin-induced hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia was also reported due to increased secretion of insulin in the body from activation of β 2 receptors. [ citation needed ] In 2013, zilpaterol , a β agonist sold by Merck, was temporarily withdrawn due to signs of sickness in some cattle that were fed the drug.
Inborn errors of metabolism may cause infant hypoglycemia, and much less commonly adult hypoglycemia. [25] Disorders that are related to the breakdown of glycogen, called glycogen storage diseases, may cause hypoglycemia. [3] [25] Normally, breakdown of glycogen leads to increased glucose levels, particularly in a fasting state. [3]
Diabetic hypoglycemia can be mild, recognized easily by the patient, and reversed with a small amount of carbohydrates eaten or drunk, or it may be severe enough to cause unconsciousness requiring intravenous dextrose or an injection of glucagon. Severe hypoglycemic unconsciousness is one form of diabetic coma. A common medical definition of ...
Salbutamol, also known as albuterol and sold under the brand name Ventolin among others, [1] is a medication that opens up the medium and large airways in the lungs. [8] It is a short-acting β 2 adrenergic receptor agonist that causes relaxation of airway smooth muscle . [ 8 ]
The complications of diabetes can dramatically impair quality of life and cause long-lasting disability. Overall, complications are far less common and less severe in people with well-controlled blood sugar levels. [3] [4] [5] Some non-modifiable risk factors such as age at diabetes onset, type of diabetes, gender, and genetics may influence risk.
A new study compares the benefits and risks of taking GLP-1 medications for weight loss, including risks of dementia, addiction, heart disease, and gastrointestinal problems, among others.
Reactive hypoglycemia, postprandial hypoglycemia, or sugar crash is a term describing recurrent episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia occurring within four hours [1] after a high carbohydrate meal in people with and without diabetes. [2] The term is not necessarily a diagnosis since it requires an evaluation to determine the cause of the ...
