Low Blood Sugar! - All About Hypoglycemia 

Great info..cute baby

I passed out in public one day! I woke up a few minutes later,people were standing around me,looking.A lady told me to sit in the chair and she gave me a peppermint, soon the paramedics came.

I went through the five hour test in a Hospital when I was in my late twenties and I got so bad they had to intervene and shoot up my sugar back up. It was a frightening feeling. It went down to 51. I will never forget the number. I really don't pay attention till I hit a crisis mode and I grab sugar fast. it happened to me in front of friends just recently and I was so uncomfortable because I couldn't even respond to them talking to me and asking what was happening. I thought I was having a panic attack but it was my blood sugar. I got sugar and within a few minutes I snapped out of it. Sadly, I forget I have it, which is not good. This has been happening at least once on a daily basis and I am going to try to pay better attention to it. you literally feel like you are shutting down and going to pass out.

I just found your channel. You are saving lives ! I’ve been t2 diabetic for over 20 years and no one has ever explained it like this. Thank you

One word my friend KETONES. I have be doing Keto for 17 years and intermittent fasting for 6. I have to use insulin for almost all meals.(bacon and eggs is a freebie though, no rise) I regularly do physical labour for hours around the 2.5 (45) perfectly fine and may not be eating for days. If I get down to 1.5 (27) then things start to get a bit strange, ground moves, sweating but this lasts for about 5 mins then the body makes it's own glucose and brings me back up into the mid 2's. EVERY TIME. The body has to be fully keto adapted so the brain is running on ketones.

OMG! look at the beautiful little doll. Shes growing so fast, look at you being a dad.

Thank you for the information, I've had two episodes in the last week and was not sure what was happening to me. This is definitely it!

Very talented and gifted medical educator on Diabetis

Finally some one who speaks and explains false lows!!❤❤

Thank you for covering this important issue

Thank you 👍 wow you truly have a way to explain this and helped to understand this phenomenon.

Awesome video, David! Thank you for sharing, as always.

thank you very much for this imformation GOD BLESS

I need a life coach for this information there is so much to unpack

New subbie here. I have experienced false low. This video has made me understand what was going on in my body at that time. Doc told me am pre-diabetic. I immediately went low carb and quit sugar and experienced hypo symptoms! Only later when I finally got a hold of my doc did he tell me I should have reduce carbs & sugar slowly to give time for my body to adjust.

Thank you for sharing this❤❤❤

This is the best video!

Adorable baby...thanks for info

Thank you 🎉

Great video thanks!

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. Really appreciate the efforts made to bring that FREE COURSE at such brilliant order. I really pay attention when watching your videos as if i am studying. Finally thanks for considering your Overseas friends regarding the explanation in multiple units of measurements. for example i am a community pharmacist originally from Egypt but currently working Kuwait and units are different in both.

Adorable baby!

Great video, thank you for the information!!!

Thanks

This was very informative for me, thank you

You know the best thing about your videos is that I can share them with my family who has a hard time understanding diabetes. You are able to explain things much better than I can. Thanks!

I am so grateful to have found your channel, I wish all Doctors taught this way and understood the benefits of the newer insulins.

Some decent info on hypoglycemia in this video, but holy crap he made me work for it.

Thx... Great job!

My daughter is 29 yrs old, has been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. She is not a diabetic and not on any medications. I am a type 2 diabetic. We are still trying to educate ourselves.

Great info...cute doctor

My 13 year old granddaughter fainted in bathtub her eyes were twitching so fast Dr said she had low blood sugar together with urine infection etc and together with her potassium low it was such a scary experience er doc said she gonna have to carry candy with her at all times 😭

Ketones? Very informative, many thanks.

Is it possible to feel jittery and light headed if sugar levels normal. Could insulin resistance cause this? When there is sudden drop in levels when insulin spikes but not causing abnormally low levels. Almost like a fight or flight response

So, what if you normally run 120 to 130, you eat and it does not go up? It stays the same or may even drop to 100, but never below 98?

Your lovely assistant is an absolute babe and very astute!

I have learnt. Awesome. But the question is : can hyperglycemia n hyperinsulinemia exist at the same time? Thanks for the answer.

What about non-diabetic hypoglycemia?

Your baby girl is so beautiful 💜

where is your video about hypoglycemia unawareness? cant find it

Is it right that Stress (emotional or physical), Panic disorder can lower blood sugar?

Mainly watched this because i didn’t eat for a few hours, and i didn’t get any dinner, so i threw up and my mother suggested that it’s low-blood sugar, so i wanted to find out how to make the blood sugar normal again, so then i ate smtg. Now i learned so much more than i had actually planned, but i love it, i sort of like learning facts and information, it makes me feel more clevere 🤓😂. Also this has happened to me before, i didn’t get anything to eat for a very long period of time because i was travelling with my class, and when we arrived it was night so every store was closed, there were venting machines, but not many and i had never used one before so i didn’t trust it so quickly, so i slept through the whole night, and i felt a bit uneasy, then in the morning we were walking for 30 minutes, then finally we arrived at a center, so i felt like i had to throw up really badly, i bought food and took about two bites and threw up on it, but don’t worry, i walked away from the people who made the food before i threw up, i was going towards the exist just in case, but too late.. i threw up in the center, on myself, on my two friends, and on my newly bought food, even worse is that i set the food down outside the center and when i came back it was gone, i really hope nobody ate that 😳. (Also i am not diabetic as far as i know, but my grandpa has diabetes🤔).

Thank you when my suger low my heart does want to race of.

Ughs.. I have both was dx with hypoglycemic at 12ish.. but most of my new doctors in the past think I was Misdiagnosed. All I know is I just watch my glucose for every meal

Awww she's cute!

So what happens when u drink to bring it up...isn't it bad to bring it up to fast, and then u will have another crash soon...please explain. I've been hearing there are better things besides sugary, like maybe a teaspoon of sugarless peanut butter, or almond butter, organic. Is this good also?

I have had low blood sugar all my life. I grew up in Germany and can get glucose sugar virtually anywhere. Compared to regular household sugar it goes directly into the blood and I feel better in a very short time. Outside Germany it is more of a problem. Either it is not available at all or only available in pharmacies for exorbitant prices.

PLEEEEAAASSSSEE cover Pre Diabetes, Insulin Intolerance, Insulin Resistance!!

That beautiful baby is so adorable, she's so well behaved, prim and proper! ! I've been taking insulin since 2010 so I learned how to manage some mild hypoglycemic attacks over the years, but it's my first time to hear about the 15-15 rule. Thank you for another video packed with very helpful information. I learn more from your videos than my doctors! Is the risk for hypoglycemia the main reason why doctors prescribe oral medication first before insulin or is it the reason insulin is partnered oral medications? I used to wonder why we still need oral medication when insulin alone can do the job. Besides hypoglycemia, what are the other risks of too much insulin in the body? Thank you and more power!

I currently got diagnosed as what there calling prediabetes. Here is my question. My a1c is between 5.8-6.0 and I tested positive. My blood sugar has not gone over 200 in the last couple months but keeps going low. There telling me to have 75 grams of carbs per meal and 15-30 for snacks. But here is the thing.... I've stayed away from all fast food, pops ect.. and my sugar spikes to 170s and than 20-30 mins later I'm dropping suddenly. There saying I could be type 1 or 2 but my sugar high is not the problem... It's dropping low not rising.. what could be going on and causing this?? It's very frustrating.

In Canada I have been prescribed a drug called Xigduo it is a combination of Metformin and dapaglifozon. I would be interested in your thoughts on it.

If I wait to long to eat, maybe not hungry or fasting then when I do I have a funny feeling in my chest and get sleepy. Plus may make my heart skip beats for a little while. This hypoglycemia

What if the sugar level is not low like a 150 and still experiencing the same symptoms?

So on a day when my level of physical exertion is going to be high I 'could' (as an example) have pancakes with syrup for breakfast and perhaps a few Jelly Beans later if/when feeling lightheaded? These are the days when I have these 'bouts' of lightheadedness from greatly raised physical exertion and develop a 100% certain feeling that I'll faint if I don't sit down. This has happened to me about 3 times now and I have a strong feeling after doing a ton of research that I may well be suffering with the onset of Hypoglycemia. I also find that should I talk after sitting down 'post hypo' that the feeling that I could faint are present as well. I virtually have to stop talking and just sit down for a good 30 minutes and relax until I'm feeling better. My balance is also affected. I am slightly overweight but not obese by any means. My sugar intake has greatly reduced to near nil as am dieting and happy to say losing weight. I have had blood tests recently (basic check up type) and no mention of Diabetes was made. Maybe I should get some of these Glucose tablets... and perhaps there are self test kits to measure G' levels? Very informative upload. Thanks for your efforts... have to say, super cute baby in the background too! Apologies if my questions have been answered in your other uploads and for the longish' post. Late here on the other side of the world, must stop researching now! Need to hit the hay! Will keenly await a few answers/suggestions. TIA. :o) PS. Sure hope you'll advocate the occasional/rare pancake with syrup breakfast! Only on 3 or 4 high exertion days/month... no intention of abusing/gaining weight back that's for sure! Regards. Omni'.

aint gonna lie the 15/15 rule goes out the window when i have a serve drop after taking insuilin and I've seemed to absorb that in the space of 20mins this is called,eat everything insight stage! :)))))))))

My fasting insulin is 8 should I be worried?

10:50 - Nobody (inculduing this video) EVER talks about the 15 minute WAIT period - how bad it is, what you should do during THAT 15 minute window. Sit an pray, or squeeze your hands together? It is an awful time to endure hypo without doing anything... Further more, depending on the severity of the hypo, 15g might not cut it enough for you to LAST until the next 15-minute window

I have a low blood sugar and afraid of eating fats because i have a high blood.it is ok to eat fats?

Thank you so much for sharing this but , Can you explain to me why ACE , ARBs inhibitors and longer duration of diabetes and older age are risk for hypoglycemia? And Thank you so much again 🙏🏻

I recently have had a bout of low blood sugars that dipped into the the low 40s. I am going to be tested next week with a 2 hour glucose test. I am also a bariactric patient. I had vsg 4 years ago. What is worse reactive or non reactive hypoglycemia? What do I do? How do I eat? I am used to having a low carb diet. I’m scared to eat carbs and eat several times a day. I don’t want to regain weight.😭

what if I live alone and do not have Dexcom? my insurance will not cover it......

why insurance and doctor wont give me glucagon? should I ask my doctor

❤cute baby

Did he just say your brain can’t run on fat or protein? Ketones have entered the chat.

Do you have to Be Diabetic the Hypoglycemia Episode

Cute baby

Have you heard of insulinoma? It’s a type of tumor on pancreas which produces insulin non stop. Can you advice me what to eat to put up with the insulin please?

sometimes it not low blood sugar but to high of insulin.

I have developed hypoglycemia n awareness- so I cant tell if Im high or low...--what do I do? my Doc wont take this seriously

Today i had an episode. I ate a sandwich at 2pm by 9 i was having an what felt like an anxiety attack. Im a recovering alcoholic but i have been sober for 8 years. Does this sould like sugar to you?

Can low b.s. effect behavior?

You changed from a Strat to a les Paul on the wall ;)

I hate low blood sugar 😒

I am not diabetic, but I do have hypoglycemia. It's called Nondiabetic Hypoglycemia.

While on Metformin ER I had 2 hypo events. SCARY!!! Dr wants to put me on Ozempic because she says it wont give me low blood sugar. Do you agree?

Hi SUGAR HIGH Is it right that Stress (emotional or physical), Panic disorder can lower blood sugar?

Can stress lower blood sugar?

What if low blood sugar just happens naturally with any diabetic medicine at all. It happened to me after i caught covid and now im a covd long hauler (sad face) 😞

Ur looking soo cute❤😊

7:20 "...the glucose is the only form of energy that your brain can use..." FALSE!! After going 24-48 hours without any carbs, glycogen levels become depleted and insulin levels decrease (this happens much faster with high-intensity exercise). At this point, the liver steps up its production of water-soluble compounds known as KETONES, created by the breakdown of fatty acids. Ketones can be made from either the fat you eat or your body’s fat stores. The resulting ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier to provide the brain with an additional source of energy.

Glucose is crucial for the brain but it's NOT the only "fuel" for it! There's a difference!

I get rapid heart beat at 95----after 10 yrs of t2..... 3 yrs of hypoglycemia un awareness

That baby on a granite countertop worries me! She could fall over and hit her head. Yikes

2:51 "Your brain cannot run on fat or proteion" What? ketones question mark question mark

So no part of the brain runs on ketones? Every part of the brain uses only glucose?

Your information is factually and principally incorrect. The brain can and does run on ketones. It doesn’t need glucose. In fact ketones are better utilized. How do I know? Because I am on keto.

I blackth out driving my van got into a accident very dcary
