In those with a history of diabetes treated with insulin, glinides, or sulfonylurea, who demonstrate Whipple's triad, it is reasonable to assume the cause of hypoglycemia is due to insulin, glinides, or sulfonylurea use. [2] In those without a history of diabetes with hypoglycemia, further diagnostic testing is necessary to identify the cause. [2]
This means that psychogenic polydipsia may lead to test results (e.g. in a water restriction test) consistent with diabetes insipidus or SIADH, leading to misdiagnosis. [14] Dry mouth is often a side effect of medications used in the treatment of some mental disorders, rather than being caused by the underlying condition. [15]
A diabetic's blood glucose from 2:00 am to 7:00 am. The dawn phenomenon, sometimes called the dawn effect, is an observed increase in blood sugar (glucose) levels that takes place in the early-morning, often between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m.
Adults with mild type 2 diabetes might improve their insulin sensitivity by following a low-carb diet, thus potentially eliminating the need for medication, a new study suggests.
The leading cause of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes is the failure of insulin to suppress glucose production by glycolysis and gluconeogenesis due to insulin resistance. [39] Insulin normally inhibits glycogenolysis, but fails to do so in a condition of insulin resistance, resulting in increased glucose production. [40]
Some people with diabetes may crave ice if they have abnormally elevated blood sugars. "This is the body's way of signally that it needs to get rid of excess sugar by urination and might crave ...
Early-time restricted feeding, a type of intermittent fasting, may help blood sugar levels and time in range, per new research. Experts explain the eating plan.
A fluid or water deprivation test is a medical test [1] which can be used to determine whether the patient has diabetes insipidus as opposed to other causes of polydipsia (a condition of excessive thirst that causes an excessive intake of water). The patient is required, for a prolonged period, to forgo intake of water completely, to determine ...
