Blood Glucose Archives



Photosynthesis requires many steps to make glucose. As a result of the synthesis process,
A) more water is released from the leaves than is absorbed through the roots.
B) more atoms are present at the beginning than at the end.
C) all the carbons from the six carbon dioxide atoms are found in glucose.
D) more carbon dioxide is released from the plant than is absorbed.
E) water is synthesized by the plant from H2 and O2.

How do I avoid non-diabetic hypoglycemia?



I get hypoglycemic conditions when I eat any and all sugar. Basically, my pancreas hyper-reacts to sugar, and dumps insulin into my blood stream. Sometimes, though, I think I just have excess insulin, even when I don’t eat anything (fasting). I also get the symptoms after exercise. What are some lifestyle changes I can make, in order to avoid these symptoms, or eliminate them, altogether? Thanks!

Blood Glucose Lab - Questions.?



Regulation of Blood Glucose Laboratory

1. The class should be divided into a water only (control) group and a
dextrose (experimental) group. Students should report to lab having fasted
for about 8 hours or, at least, skipping the meal preceding the lab. If you
must eat, then please do it as far in advance of the lab as possible. Also, limit
fluid intake and exclude caffeine prior to the lab.

2. Determine each student’s normal blood glucose level, using the Freestyle
Blood Glucose Monitoring System (glucometer). Obtain blood for the test
from a finger, using a sterile lancet. Clean the finger with 70% alcohol first.

3. Each subject will then consume one cup of water (~ 296 ml) or one bottle
of dextrose (75g in 296 ml). Use bottled water or obtain water from the
drinking fountain. Consume the water or dextrose as rapidly as comfortable.
Upon completion, designate the time as Time 0. No additional beverages
will be consumed beyond this point and no eating.

4. After ingesting the substances, repeat the glucometer test
every 30 minutes. Testing will continue in this
manner for two hours. A total of five samples will be collected at 0, 30, 60,
90, and 120 minutes.

5. Each student will record the data. Data will be averaged and plotted as a
class. You do not need to plot your individual data. Graph the data, where
possible, and include in a laboratory report.

The results: The beverage consumed also had an effect on the blood glucose levels. The blood glucose level in the water group remained relatively constant. In the dextrose group, the blood glucose level peaked at 30 minutes then declined the remaining 90 minutes.

Questions:

1. How is blood glucose regulated in the fasting state? Why are both groups exhibiting approximately equal blood glucose levels?

2. Why are blood glucose levels in the water group remaining relatively constant?

3. What is causing the increased blood glucose levels in the dextrose group?

4. How can the decreasing levels of blood glucose be explained?

My doctor and I are monitoring blood sugar — it’s just a little bit high, and we’re trying to regulate without medication. I notice that after meals (2-5 hours) my blood sugar is consistently between 90-100. However after fasting (10-14 hours) in the morning, my blood sugar is between 135-145.

Why on earth is this happening?

What can I do to keep my good readings in the morning???

I have a few of the symptoms of hypoglycemia - but the most defined symptom is that I literally come seconds away from passing out before I can get something down. I’ve been tested for diabetes and insulin resistance and the tests come up negative. I’m curious if I should even get tested for hypoglycemia or if having neither diabetes nor IR means I don’t have hypoglycemia either…

Do the 6C monosaccharides- glucose, fructose and mannose all enter glycolysis at the first stage in yeast, or must they be altered into a uniform shape (ie all changed to glucose) before they can enter glycolysis?
Do sorbose and galctose enter the first stage of glycolysis in yeast at all? If not why?

I have hypoglycemia and i cut but i have really bad mood swings of high and lows. Im going to therapy but i was just woundering if hypoglycemia could have helped any of this along

im still trying to talk myself into thinking i dont need help
