Hypoglycemia
Patient was instructed on hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may result from a variety of causes, which include: Spontaneous reactive hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia within 1 to 2 hours after a meal in people who have not had stomach surgery is called spontaneous reactive hypoglycemia. It also is sometimes called functional or idiopathic hypoglycemia. In many cases, it is difficult to verify that the symptoms are caused by low blood sugar.
Patient was instructed on hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may result from a variety of causes that include: Alcohol. In some individuals, drinking alcohol can cause a drop in blood sugar levels. Hypoglycemia has been associated with chronic alcoholism and binge drinking. Hypoglycemia associated with binge drinking can be particularly severe if a person has not eaten within about 6 hours because fasting can impair the liver's ability to make new glucose.
Patient was instructed on hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may result from a variety of causes, which include: Alimentary hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia within 1 to 2 hours after a meal sometimes occurs when stomach contents empty into the intestines too rapidly. This causes the rapid absorption of glucose into the blood and an overproduction of insulin (hyperinsulinism) in response. This problem may develop after surgery for peptic ulcers, obesity, or other stomach problems.
Patient was instructed on how to avoid hypoglycemia. Avoid fasting, eating irregular meals and chronic binge drinking to maintain a more constant blood sugar level. To limit the risk of developing hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, eat a diet that provides a slow and regular release of sugar.
