Hyperglycemia

When the blood glucose level is more than 130 mg/ dL after not eating anything for 8 hours then this condition can be defined as Hyperglycemia.

After eating, if the level of blood sugar in blood is more than 180 mg/ dL

Symptoms: Trouble concentrating,Weight loss, increased thirst, fatigue, et cetera.

Treatment: Insulin, medication and regular exercise.

Hypoglycemia

When the blood glucose level is less than 70mg/dL then this condition is known as hypoglycemia. This condition can be defined less than normal blood glucose level.

Symptoms: Dizziness, hunger, pale skin, fatigue.

Treatment: Food with high sugar content must be eaten( candy, chicken, tofu) to make the level normal and then proper medication should be continued as advised by the doctor.

In relation to diabetes, hyperglycemia refers to chronically high blood glucose levels. Most medical professionals define hyperglycemia by using the blood glucose goals that you and your physician have established and combining those goals with the blood glucose target ranges set by the American Diabetes Association. It’s important to understand that you’ll probably experience high blood glucose levels from time to time, despite your best efforts at control. To treat hyperglycemia, you must:

Exercise: Physical activity can use excess glucose in the blood. However, if a person with severe hyperglycemia finds ketones in their urine, they should avoid exercise, as this breaks down more fats and might speed up ketoacidosis. Moderating the diet: Eating less during mealtimes and snacking less, as well as focusing on low-sugar foods, helps keep the amount of glucose at a level that the body can handle. A dietitian can help a person adapt their diet in gradual and healthful ways. Alter medications: A doctor may recommend changing the timings or types of medication and insulin a person is taking if they are not reducing blood sugar as they should.

Hypoglycemia refers to dangerously low blood glucose levels that drop below 70 mg/dL. Significant hypoglycemia is considered below 54 mg/dL. It is an acute complication of diabetes and occurs in individuals who use insulin or specific kinds of oral diabetes medication. If you use oral diabetes medications, ask your physician or diabetes educator whether hypoglycemia should be a concern. To treat hypoglycemia, you must immediately:

Check your blood glucose level to determine the amount of carbohydrate that is needed to raise your blood glucose to a safe level. Use the 15/15 Rule: Consume 15 grams of carbohydrate (4 ounces of regular juice or soda, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons raisins, 7 Life Savers®, 9 Sweet Tarts®, or 3-4 glucose tablets) and retest your blood glucose in 15 minutes. If it is still below 70 mg/dL, you should consume an additional 15 grams of carbohydrate. Following the 15/15 Rule can help avoid over treatment and resulting hyperglycemia. If you are not planning to have a meal within one to two hours after treating a hypoglycemic reaction, eat a snack containing 15-30 grams of carbohydrate to prevent another episode of hypoglycemia.

Complications from Hypoglycemia

If hypoglycemia is not treated immediately, it can result in:

Severe confusion and disorientation Unconsciousness Seizures Coma Death

Explanation:

There are different levels of low blood sugar: mild, moderate, or severe. If your blood sugar drops low enough that you need help to recover, it is considered to be a low blood sugar emergency, or severe hypoglycemia.

Mild or moderate low blood sugar is common for people with type 1 diabetes, and can occur in people with type 2 diabetes who are using insulin. If not treated, mild or moderate low blood sugar can progress and become severe, requiring the help of someone else to recover. Let those close to you know what the possible signs are so they can be more prepared for an emergency.

As cell after cell rapidly transmits the electrical charge, the entire heart contracts in one coordinated motion, creating a heartbeat. ... The SA node (called the pacemaker of the heart) sends out an electrical impulse. The upper heart chambers (atria) contract. The AV node sends an impulse into the ventricles.
