check your sugar level or conslt a doctor

You could be anemic or other possible ailments. Whether or not you had sugar or not that day is irrelevant if you have diabetes. Go see your doctor for a check-up. Good luck

ok..in english diabetes is the inability of cells to use sugar in the blood due to either a lack of insulin (produced by the pancreas) or the inability for a cell to transport sugar across the cell. because your cells cannot use the sugar it stays in limbo between the cells (high blood sugar)until it is filtered out through the kidneys (this causes alot of pressure and can destroy them). the high blood sugar also puts alot of pressure on the eyes that can cause blindness. another effect if left untreated is pariphial neuropathy..a big word for loss of circulation and feeling in the lower extremities (legs) this can lead to sores that cannot heal (because the cells cannot use the sugar for energy) these are things that do not happen all at once but over time. If you do not keep your sugar under control these things WILL happen...PLEASE take this disease seriously...many times the treatment is diet and exercise depending on how much insulin your pancreas does produce..if this does not work you will need to take medicine every day for the rest of your life (which is much better than the consiquences of not treating it ....amputation, blindness, kidney failure, stroke, heart attack, ect...this list continues to grow.

If the doctors dont know, then there is a problem!\ntry do a reseaech on it on google!\n\nGood luck

A blood test for phosphate measures this electrolyte that is needed for bone growth, energy, fighting infection, and proper muscle function. Most of the body's phosphate (about 85%) is found in bones. The rest of it is stored in tissues throughout the body.\nPhosphate and calcium levels are regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH). The amount of phosphate in the blood affects the level of calcium in the blood. For this reason, phosphate and calcium levels are usually measured at the same time.\n\nThe kidneys help control the amount of phosphate in the blood. If there is too much phosphate, the kidneys excrete the excess in the urine; if there is not enough phosphate, the kidneys reduce the amount excreted in the urine. An abnormally high level of phosphate in the blood is usually caused by a kidney problem that prevents the excess from being excreted into the urine.\n\nPhosphorus, which converts to phosphate in the body, is found in foods such as cereal, dairy products (such as milk and cheese), eggs, and meat. Adequate amounts of vitamin D are needed to help the body absorb phosphate and calcium.\n\nGreater-than-normal values MAY mean.....\nHigh phosphate levels may indicate kidney disease, underactive parathyroid glands (hypoparathyroidism), acromegaly, rhabdomyolysis, healing fractures, untreated diabetic ketoacidosis, or certain bone diseases. \nHigh phosphate levels may indicate excessive levels of vitamin D. \nHigh phosphate levels may occur with a decrease in magnesium levels. \nPhosphate levels increase during the last trimester of pregnancy. \nAbnormally high levels of phosphate in the blood usually do not cause any serious problems unless the condition continues for a long time. Phosphate levels that remain high can cause abnormal deposits of calcium and phosphate in the skin, blood vessels, and other tisssue.\n\nFactors that can interfere with your test and the accuracy of the results include:\n\nDrinking alcohol before the test. \nMedications that can increase phosphate levels. These include androgen hormones (such as fluoxymesterone and methyltestosterone), anabolic steroids (such as Hybolin Decanoate, Deca-Durabolin, Durabolin, Anadrol, Kabolin, Oxandrin, or Winstrol), and enemas that contain phosphate. \nExcessive intake of vitamin D. \nMedications that can decrease phosphate levels. These include some antacids, insulin, acetazolamide, and epinephrine. A large infusion of sugar (glucose) that causes insulin levels to increase can also decrease phosphate levels. \nHaving a rare disease in which the kidneys produce abnormally large amounts of urine (diabetes insipidus).

G6PD deficiency is the most common known human enzyme disease, affecting 10% of the world's population.\n\nTreatment of G6PD deficiency involves discontinuing the offending drug or compound and treating any accompanying infection. Recovery is the rule. Sometimes blood transfusions are needed when the anemia is severe.  http://www.medicinenet.com/g6pd_deficiency/article.htm\n\nUnder normal circumstances, G6PD deficiency usually does not cause problems for most children. However, it can become a problem when children develop an illness or infection; when they take certain medications, such as pain medicines, certain antibiotics, and drugs to treat malaria; or when they are exposed to other specific substances, such as mothballs or fava beans. All of these things increase the amount of oxidative stress on the body's red blood cells.  \nTreating the symptoms associated with G6PD deficiency is usually as simple as removing the trigger - that is, treating your child's illness or infection or discontinuing the use of a certain drug. However, severe anemia may require treatment in the hospital, such as supportive care with oxygen and fluids, and sometimes a transfusion of healthy blood cells. In rare cases, the deficiency can lead to kidney failure or shock, requiring intensive care in the hospital until the child recovers.  With the proper precautions, G6PD deficiency should not keep your child from living a healthy, active life.\nhttp://kidshealth.org/parent/general/aches/g6pd_p2.html

When you have dialysis, the process removes most things from your blood, including all of the sugar.  The result is low blood sugar.  Be sure to eat prior to dialysis & have a light snack after to help prevent this.

if you are diabetic the A1C TEST RESULTS HAVE TO BE LESS THAN 6%. THAT MEANS THEIR SUGAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND ITS USEFULL FOR THOSE WHO NEED THAT TYPE OF BLOOD RIGHT AWAY.

glucose is fuel for the body.  glycolysis makes ATP which is essential for the body to function

Need to take several blood tests for blood sugar. Start with a fasting one (12 hr fasting). Best to consult a doctor if in doubt

No, its a bit simpler than that.  It has to do with loss of ATP production through aerobic resperation.  The brain, though only 3-4 pds, uses 20% of the total calories in the body, because of the massive requirement of neurons to maintain the ionic gradient, primarily through Na+/K+ ATPase, an energy-using enzyme.  This ion pump maintains the hyperpolarization required to keep the neuron from depolarizing until a specific signal, such as binding of neurotransmitter, opens the Na+ channels.  There is very little storage of glycogen or creatine in the brain, and thus there has to be a constant supply of blood glucose to maintain this.  A drop in glucose below a spcific concentration causes a dramatic decrease in production of ATP, thus the Na+/K+ ATPase cannot keep up with the ionic leakage of Na+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell.  The relative intraneuronal negativity is lost, and there is uncontrollable depolarization of neurons, as voltage-gated channels open.  Two things then happen- 1) This uncontrolled firing of the neuron is transmitted, via axons, to other neurons (themselves already partially depolarized because of lack of energy for Na+/K+ ATPase) and 2) the neurons that depolarize cannot hyperpolarize again because there isn't sufficient glucose to produce the ATP needed for the ion pumps.\nThe previous was only for hypoglycemia.  If your blood glucose in normal, i.e. you are not diabetic, then your blood glucose levels should *never* drop below a certain level-resting, or fasting, blood glucose is carefully maintained in a non-diabetic person.  A drop in blood glucose sufficent to effect the K+ channels would be significantly below normal, and indicate diabetes.  We do work on both diabetic neuropathy and stroke, and the interactions between them.  There are people here that do research on epileptic seizures, and I can ask about the theories on increased seizures in the morning, if you are interested.

This brings back dreadful memories! Glucose is the principal sugar in the biological world. Breakdown of glucose happens in two stages. The first stage is glycolosis, which consists of 10 successive steps in which the glucose, a 6-carbon molecule, is converted into two 3-carbon molecules (pyruvate) and two ATP molecules are synthesized from two ADP molecules and two P i. The second stage of glucose breakdown is called celular respiration, converts the pyruvate molecules into CO2 and H2O through 15 steps, some of which are coupled to the synthesis of many molecules of ATP from ADP +Pi. When pure glucose is ignited and burned, it is completely converted to CO2 and H2O with the release of heat. C6 H12 6O2---->6CO2 + 6H20. The breakdown of glucose in a cell leads to the same result. Six O2 molecules are needed to catabolize each molecule of glucose, and 6 molecules of CO2 and 6 molecules of H2O are the end products. For one mole (180 grams) 686 kilocalories are released. In a cell, the breakdown occurs stepwise, with some energy released at each step. By coupling certain of the steps to synthesis of ATP from ADP, energy is captured. Glycolysis carries the breakdown to pyruvate, during which some energy is transferred into a net gain of two ATP molecules. Glycolysis, however, taps very little of the free energy in glucose; about 93% of this energy is still present in the two pyruvate molecules left after glycolysis. This energy is released in stepwise fashion by conversion of pyruvate to CO2 and H2O in cellular respiration, with the generation of 36 ATP molecules. Cellular respiration occurs in two stages. In the first stage, the pyruvate is oxidized in a sequence of reactions to CO2 and H2O, and electrons are transferred to coenzymes. In the second stage, the passage of the electrons along an electron transport chain is coupled to the synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi in a manner similar to the transfer of electrons and generation of ATP that occurs in phase 1 reactions of photosynthesis. Then you go on to the citric acid or Krebs cycle. I hope this helps. I remember drawing it out over and over to memorize it. The main thing is to remember as the process goes on what the byproducts are-ATP, etc.

Could be a whole laundry list of reasons why this might be happening from your blood sugar being too low, not following a balanced diet, to something more serious.  Best bet would be making an appointment with a Health care professional that can properly answer this question for you.
