@diabesmart que se puede hacer ante una falsa hipoglucemia?? Cuidados, precauciones, tratamiento, alimentación?? Espero pueda ver este mensaje 🙏🏻 y ayudarme con algunos consejos
This is absolutely horrible advice. This is the best that modern medicine can offer because it refuses to actually look at the data and change it s strategies. Everyone who knows anything knows. The worst thing you can do is eat more sugar. If you have hypoglycemia, you need to cut out all sugars, eat 90% meat and animal products, and 10% healthy complex carbohydrates. Thank you need to eat more frequent smaller meals throughout the day so that you even out your blood sugar. Your meal should be smaller so you don't gain weight. So instead of three meals a day, shoot for three small meals, with 3 small snacks in between, including one snack before bed so that your blood sugar stays even throughout the night.
i have hypoglycemia but i dont really get problems, today, i did, now everyone in my class knows, and now im embarrassed. its not much of a problem actually, and when it is, i usually know and drink juices, but today i didnt know, i confused my period with hypoglymecia, went down to probably 35, estimately. the ONLY time it happens and i HAD to be in college! ugh. i know people were more concerned when judgmental but i just didnt want people to think of me badly. or that its like a everyday problem, sometimes i can not eat for a whole day and nothing happens, but sometimes, i dont eat for like 5 hours on my period and i crash it doesnt really bother me, its more like people's thoughts bother me, i dont think its diabetic too, because well, its not like a everyday problem, its like a once a year problem.
i quess i have it some days im hungry some days not I never feel that hungry but I do eat when I am. I dont drink smoke or do any drugs. my symptoms my hand shakes usually its just one hand and seems it to tighten up around the arm slightly usually these symptoms go away on their own but i dont like going threw it. it goes away for me when i eat a piece of chocolate so i always carry or have a m&ms around. anybody else do this.
That's my friend Mint! Thank You Jesus for saving her life! Thank you to the Doctors that take care of her and other family members too! Thank you BMC!
Three hours after my last meal, I start thinking about, preparing my next meal… I may not feel hungry, but once the food is in front of me, I will eat with a good appetite. If you increase your exercise, make sure to eat more food… if I go out for a bike ride in nature, I always have some food in my backpack like maybe a protein bar or even a sandwich, etc. .. Something savoury and something sweet covers my bases, depending on what I feel like eating.
This story might have been believable if Bauman hadn't lost BOTH limbs previously in an I.E.D. explosion while in Afghanistan BEFORE the 2013 marathon.
This amazing! I am an Haitian-American labor and delivery nurse, and I appreciate this video. It makes it easier to explain to my Haitian patients. Mesi anpil 🙏
When I was 18 I went to doctor because I haven’t been in a long time so when I went, I told him that I have hypoglycemia and they wouldn’t believe me and they said I didn’t have anymore but now I am 23 years old. I’m starting to have pain in my legs in my arm and I had that when I was a kid, when my sugar was low, my legs and my arms will hurt. And this is why I am watching this video because I feel like I’m not taking care of myself and I’m starting to get the pains again.
Wash your hands. If you use gloves be sure to use non-powdered gloves. But otherwise gloves are not practical when you have to dose for every single meal
Below is what the BMC is really about. . . woke as f*ck! Any person in the Boston area with two working brains cells should avoid the BMC like the plague "Statement of Values The Section of General Internal Medicine and the Department of Medicine believe that the cultural and social diversity of our faculty, staff and students is vitally important to the distinction and excellence of our clinical, research and academic programs. We embrace a position of anti-racism and inclusivity. We believe that faculty diversity is essential to our delivery of care and is an integral component of faculty excellence, and we are committed to fostering an environment that is supportive and respectful. Diversity is multidimensional and may encompass life experience, gender, sexual orientation, race, national origin, ethnicity, physical ability, spiritual beliefs, and intellectual approach. As we engage and are challenged by one another, diverse perspectives will enhance the quality of intellectual exchange and the creation of knowledge. All faculty, staff, trainees, and students deserve to feel respected and valued for who they are and for the values they hold. The Boston University Medical Group is committed to sex/gender and racial equity in faculty recruitment, compensation, promotion, leadership, and retention. Our ultimate aim is to build a cohort of leaders throughout BMC/BUCASM that reflects the racial, ethnic, and sex/gender diversity/composition of our overall faculty."

I feel so bad for Jeff Bauman and his story and what he had to go through , but I am glad he is able to walk and accomplish things that would be impossible for him without legs. If anyone hasn’t seen Stronger (2017) with Jake Gyllenhaal as Jeff Bauman I highly recommend it if you are watching this video.
