  2. Idiopathic postprandial syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_postprandial...

    Idiopathic postprandial syndrome, colloquially but incorrectly known by some as hypoglycemia, describes a collection of clinical signs and symptoms similar to medical hypoglycemia but without the demonstrably low blood glucose levels which characterize said condition.

  3. Reactive hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_hypoglycemia

    Symptoms vary according to individuals' hydration level and sensitivity to the rate and/or magnitude of decline of their blood glucose concentration. [citation needed] A crash is usually felt within four hours of heavy carbohydrate consumption. Along with the symptoms of hypoglycemia, symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia include: [7] [8] [9]

  4. Idiopathic hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_hypoglycemia

    Idiopathic hypoglycemia is a medical condition in which the glucose level in the blood (blood glucose) is abnormally low due to an undeterminable cause.This is considered an incomplete and unsatisfactory diagnosis by physicians and is rarely used by endocrinologists, as it implies an unfinished diagnostic evaluation.

  5. Glucose tolerance test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_tolerance_test

    The glucose tolerance test was first described in 1923 by Jerome W. Conn. [4]The test was based on the previous work in 1913 by A. T. B. Jacobson in determining that carbohydrate ingestion results in blood glucose fluctuations, [5] and the premise (named the Staub-Traugott Phenomenon after its first observers H. Staub in 1921 and K. Traugott in 1922) that a normal patient fed glucose will ...

  6. Postprandial glucose test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postprandial_glucose_test

    A postprandial glucose (PPG) test is a blood glucose test that determines the amount of glucose in the plasma after a meal. [1] The diagnosis is typically restricted to postprandial hyperglycemia due to lack of strong evidence of co-relation with a diagnosis of diabetes .

  7. Hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoglycemia

    Improvement in blood sugar level and symptoms is expected to occur in 15–20 minutes, at which point blood sugar is measured again. [3] [2] If the repeat blood sugar level is not above 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L), the hypoglycemic should consume another 10–20 grams of a carbohydrate and with remeasurement of blood sugar levels after 15–20 minutes.

  8. Postprandial dip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postprandial_dip

    In medicine and specifically endocrinology, postprandial dip is a term used to refer to mild hypoglycemia occurring after ingestion of a heavy meal. [ 1 ] The dip is thought to be caused by a drop in blood glucose resulting from the body's own normal insulin secretion, which in turn is a response to the glucose load represented by the meal.

  9. Diabetic hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_hypoglycemia

    Symptoms of diabetic hypoglycemia, when they occur, are those of hypoglycemia: neuroglycopenic, adrenergic (that is, activating adrenergic receptors, resulting e.g. in fast heartbeat), and abdominal. Symptoms and effects can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on how low the glucose falls and a variety of other factors.
