Hypoglycaemia and funny turns
A short presentation looking at the various definitions of hypoglycaemia
(clinical, biochemical and symptomatic).
It goes through the modes of acute treatment and the options for disabling
hypos.
Management of hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia is defined as a plasma glucose level below 4.0 mmol/L or the development of autonomic or neuroglycopenic symptoms in patients taking insulin or oral anti-diabetic drugs that are reversed by caloric intake. Causes include missed or delayed meals, excessive exercise, alcohol, errors in medication dosage, and other medical conditions. Treatment involves promptly detecting and treating low blood glucose, eliminating symptoms quickly, and avoiding overcorrection to prevent poor glycemic control. Management depends on severity of symptoms and involves ingesting 15-20 grams of fast-acting carbohydrates and retesting blood glucose levels. Education of patients and caregivers is important for prevention and proper response.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood glucose levels fall below normal levels. When this happens, the body activates mechanisms to raise blood glucose like increasing glucagon release and reducing glucose uptake. Prolonged insulin therapy can impair these mechanisms. Symptoms of hypoglycemia range from sweating to confusion. Treatment involves consuming carbohydrates to raise glucose levels. Patients at risk require education to prevent hypoglycemia and its complications like hypoglycemia unawareness.
Diabetes.pptx
This document provides an overview of type 2 diabetes, including its causes and symptoms. It explains that in type 2 diabetes, the body does not produce enough insulin or cells ignore the insulin produced. Left untreated, high blood glucose can damage various organs. The document also summarizes potential conditions that can arise from uncontrolled type 2 diabetes like hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and HHNS (Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Nonketotic Syndrome). It stresses the importance of monitoring blood glucose levels to prevent complications.
Presentation on Hypoglycemia
This document discusses hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), including its causes, symptoms, management, and prevention. It defines hypoglycemia as a low serum glucose level and describes the most common causes as taking too much insulin (for diabetics) or lack of food intake. Symptoms are discussed as well as treatment approaches, which involve giving oral glucose, IV dextrose, or glucagon injections depending on the severity and consciousness of the patient. Reactive hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar occurring after eating, is also examined along with potential contributing factors and recommended treatments like dietary changes and frequent small meals. Prevention strategies highlighted include eating regularly, exercising with food, and diabetics always carrying fast-acting sugar.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia
Characterized by an abnormally low level of blood sugar below a set point
Normal range : 70-110 mg/dL or 3.9-6.1mmol/L
Glucose is body’s main energy source
Hypoglycemia is Not a disease in itself
But the Indicator of health problems
Hypoglycemia
This document defines hypoglycemia and discusses its causes, symptoms, severity, treatment and prevention. Hypoglycemia is defined as a low blood glucose level (<4.0 mmol/L) accompanied by symptoms that respond to carbohydrate administration. Common causes include diabetes medications, decreased food intake, increased exercise and alcohol consumption. Symptoms range from autonomic reactions like trembling to neuroglycopenic effects like confusion. Treatment involves consuming 15-20g of fast-acting carbohydrates depending on severity. Prevention strategies incorporate eating regular meals, blood glucose monitoring, and always having rapid-acting carbohydrates available.
Depression -causes,symptoms,prevention
Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest, affecting how one feels, thinks and behaves. It can lead to emotional and physical problems and make normal daily activities difficult. Symptoms include feelings of sadness, anger, loss of interest, sleep issues, fatigue, appetite changes. The causes are not fully known but may involve biological and genetic factors, brain chemistry, hormones, and stressful life events. Prevention involves controlling stress, social support, and seeking early treatment.

APPROACH TO A CASE OF COMA IN DIABETIC PATIENT
This case study describes a 60-year-old diabetic woman who presented to the emergency department in a comatose state. Her history and examination findings were consistent with severe hypoglycemia. Laboratory tests found her blood sugar was very low at 34 mg/dL. She was treated with intravenous glucose which reversed her symptoms within 10 minutes. Hypoglycemia was determined to be the cause, likely due to her sulfonylurea medication in the context of missing a meal. The document reviews the general approach and differential diagnosis for coma in diabetics, emphasizing the need to consider severe hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, and other potential causes.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels drop too low. Symptoms include shakiness, dizziness, weakness and sweating, which develop within 10-15 minutes. These symptoms are caused by low blood sugar triggering the release of hormones to raise blood sugar levels back to normal. Hypoglycemia is most commonly caused by diabetes but can also result from medications, alcohol, skipping meals, or not eating enough. It is diagnosed through a blood sugar level test.
Trabajo Sobre Alcohol. Diego
Drinking alcohol in moderation is acceptable, but excessive or binge drinking can lead to serious health and social problems, especially for young people. Regular heavy drinking can cause both physical and psychological addiction over time. Physically, alcohol is toxic to the liver and other organs and can increase risks of various cancers and diseases. Pregnant women should avoid alcohol completely due to risks of fetal alcohol syndrome in the baby. Psychologically, long-term excessive drinking is linked to increased anxiety, depression, violence and suicide. Moderation is key - drinking responsibly in limited amounts is safer than uncontrolled binge drinking.
Alcohol abuse
Alcohol abuse, also known as alcoholism, occurs when a person drinks alcohol to the point of addiction and it negatively impacts their physical health, mental health, family responsibilities, and job responsibilities. Signs of alcohol abuse include confusion, hostility, lack of control, nausea, vomiting, drinking alone, hiding drinking from others, and making excuses to drink. Continued alcohol abuse can damage the central nervous system, kill brain cells, impair balance and cause blindness, delirium, and hallucinations. It also damages the liver, stomach, and increases risks of diabetes and cancer. Treatment options include stopping drinking, seeking medical detoxification, and abstaining from alcohol going forward.
Hypoglycemia ppt
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, occurs when a person's blood glucose levels drop below normal. It can be caused by issues like taking too much insulin, lack of food, excessive alcohol, or tumors in the pancreas. Mild symptoms include trembling, sweating, and irritability, while more severe symptoms can include confusion, irrational behavior, seizures, or loss of consciousness. Treatment depends on the severity, ranging from consuming sugar to IV glucose administration. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, eating habits, and exercise routines can help prevent hypoglycemic episodes.
Hypoglycemia in Adults
A 76-year old man with diabetes and hypertension was brought to the emergency room in an unresponsive state. His blood sugar was low at 35 mg/dL. He was given dextrose which caused him to become responsive again. Hypoglycemia can be caused by issues with insulin secretion or counterregulation in diabetes. Symptoms range from autonomic to neuroglycopenic. Treatment involves ingestion of fast-acting carbohydrates for mild episodes or intravenous dextrose for more severe cases. Lifestyle changes and medication adjustments are also important to prevent future hypoglycemia.
Alcohol
1) Alcohol is a depressant that impairs physical and mental functioning. It is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and affects every organ, including the brain.
2) Chronic alcohol use can lead to alcoholism, a disease characterized by cravings, loss of control over drinking, physical dependence, and tolerance requiring greater amounts over time.
3) Alcohol damages many organs like the brain, liver, heart, and pancreas and can increase risks of health issues like cancers, strokes, and pancreatitis. Fetal alcohol syndrome is also a risk if a woman drinks during pregnancy.

Stress on the world we called human problems, which may lead to World War.
Do you know: when you are sleeping, your brain still works to review, correct, and create the changes side the brain and body, genes that we do not know. But we know how brain/ mind works by observing the pattern of sleeping with changing the pressure from the environment: EEG, Slow-wave sleep, REM sleep. We know that some chronic patients have some things strange with their genes, does its changes first or state of mind, environment create it then diseases are the perceivable symptoms.
Stress start from the state of mind
It is not cold, virus, flu kills American, but the stressed mind. January is the most stressed month because of tired working, pressure from work, pressure from the deadline of the credit card, mainly from Stressed, Discontented, Hysterical MIND.
Check these symptoms to know you are under stress or not, only by SMART WATCH.
If yes, only medication, pain reliever, opioids are useless; punishment is useless, prison is not enough. We need to think of the alternative technique to calm the mind, soothe the pain and find inner peace for all: meditation, and lifelong learning.
Use the smartwatch to record the changing of the body to know the changing of the state of mind, emotion: hatred, anger, stress, depression, and love.
Stressed in the family, no matter rich or poor usually have simple patterns:
+ Father with cardiovascular diseases, sexual dysfunction.
+ Mother with mental diseases: depression, autoimmune diseases, stomach problems or thyroid problems.
+ kids under stress: upset stomach, vomiting, cold, flu symptoms. or Autism, ADHD, over-react, rebelling and/ or junior autoimmune diseases.

Risk factors include having an alcoholic parent or using alcohol to self-medicate for depression or anxiety.Hypoglycemia Or Low Blood Sugar
Hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar, occurs when blood glucose levels drop below normal levels and can be dangerous if left untreated. Symptoms can range from feeling unwell to seizures or loss of consciousness. Hypoglycemia is most commonly caused as a side effect of diabetes medications that increase insulin production and lower blood glucose too much. Anyone experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia like shakiness or mood changes should test their blood glucose level and treat it by consuming glucose-rich foods if it is found to be below 70 mg/dl. Proper diabetes management through medication, diet, exercise and monitoring for hypoglycemia symptoms can help prevent low blood sugar episodes.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels drop too low. Symptoms include shakiness, dizziness, weakness and sweating, which develop within 10-15 minutes. These symptoms are caused by low blood sugar triggering the release of hormones to raise blood sugar levels back to normal. Hypoglycemia is most commonly caused by diabetes but can also result from medications, alcohol, skipping meals, or not eating enough. It is diagnosed through a blood sugar level test.

Hypoglycemia Or Low Blood Sugar
Hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar, occurs when blood glucose levels drop below normal levels and can be dangerous if left untreated. Symptoms can range from feeling unwell to seizures or loss of consciousness. Hypoglycemia is most commonly caused as a side effect of diabetes medications that increase insulin production and lower blood glucose too much. Anyone experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia like shakiness or mood changes should test their blood glucose level and treat it by consuming glucose-rich foods if it is found to be below 70 mg/dl. Proper diabetes management through medication, diet, exercise and monitoring for hypoglycemia symptoms can help prevent low blood sugar episodes.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels drop too low. Symptoms include shakiness, dizziness, weakness and sweating, which develop within 10-15 minutes. These symptoms are caused by low blood sugar triggering the release of hormones to raise blood sugar levels back to normal. Hypoglycemia is most commonly caused by diabetes but can also result from medications, alcohol, skipping meals, or not eating enough. It is diagnosed through a blood sugar level test.
Hypoglycemia in dm patients
This document provides information about hypoglycemia for diabetes educators. It defines hypoglycemia as a plasma glucose level below 70 mg/dL and describes the physiological response and counter-regulatory hormones involved. Common causes of hypoglycemia are discussed such as insulin excess, missed meals, and hypoglycemic unawareness. The importance of prevention through education and self-monitoring is emphasized. Treatment of mild hypoglycemia involves consuming fast-acting carbohydrates, while glucagon or IV dextrose are recommended for severe hypoglycemia.
DIABETES AWARENESS.pptx
Diabetes is a disease where blood glucose levels are too high due to the body either not producing enough insulin or being unable to use the insulin properly. There are two main types of diabetes - type 1 where the body does not produce insulin and type 2 where the body does not use insulin effectively. Signs of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. Diabetes is diagnosed through blood tests measuring glucose levels and HbA1c. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious complications affecting the eyes, heart, kidneys, and nerves. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet and exercise as well as medical therapy including oral medications or insulin injections.
Diabetic coma clinical_features
This document defines diabetic hypoglycemia and describes its causes, symptoms, and treatment. Hypoglycemia is low blood glucose below 50mg/dl causing symptoms that are relieved by raising blood glucose. It can be caused by excessive insulin, missed meals, exercise, or drugs interacting with insulin. Symptoms range from autonomic reactions to neuroglycopenic effects like confusion. Treatment involves oral glucose for conscious patients or IV glucose/glucagon for unconscious patients. Strict avoidance and glucose monitoring are needed to prevent hypoglycemia in insulin-treated diabetics.
Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia is the specialized term for high blood (glucose). High glucose happens when the body has too little insulin or when the body can't utilize insulin appropriately.
Seminar on Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia is a condition where the measure of flowing glucose (or sugar) in the circulation system is higher than ordinary. At the point when nourishment enters the stomach related framework, it is separated into glucose and enters the circulation system. This triggers a procedure that causes the pancreas to discharge insulin. Insulin is a hormone discharged by the pancreas that helps maneuver glucose into the cells of the body, where it is changed over into fuel and vitality.

Hypoglycemi for dm educators
This document provides information about hypoglycemia for diabetes educators. It defines hypoglycemia as a blood glucose level below 70 mg/dL and describes the physiological response and counter-regulatory hormones involved. Symptoms of hypoglycemia are outlined as either hyperadrenergic or neuroglycopenic depending on blood glucose level. Causes of hypoglycemia include insulin excess, reduced food intake, exercise, and organ dysfunction. Management involves prevention through education, recognition and treatment of low blood sugar with fast-acting carbohydrates, and addressing the underlying cause to prevent future episodes.
Hypoglysemia.pptx
Hypoglycemia is a condition in which your blood sugar (glucose) level is lower than the standard range. Glucose is your body's main energy source. Hypoglycemia is often related to diabetes treatment. But other drugs and a variety of conditions — many rare — can cause low blood sugar in people who don't have diabetes.

Hypoglycemia- Assessment and Treatment
This document discusses hypoglycemia, including its definition, causes, symptoms, management and prevention. It defines hypoglycemia as low blood glucose levels that cause symptoms which resolve with increased glucose levels. Hypoglycemia is common in type 1 diabetes and can be caused by insulin excess, missed meals, exercise or other medical conditions. Symptoms range from autonomic reactions like sweating to neuroglycopenic effects like confusion. Management involves recognizing symptoms, treating with fast-acting carbohydrates, and educating patients to prevent future episodes.
Diabetes mellitus type ii
Diabetes Mellitus Type-II is a lifelong disease where the body does not properly use insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. Over time, high blood sugar can damage organs like the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. Type-2 diabetes is usually caused by a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors like weight and diet. It is diagnosed through blood tests measuring glycated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose levels. Treatment involves medications, lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and possibly surgery, to manage blood sugar and prevent complications.
