Hola, sé que alguien tocó este tema hace unos días y no puedo encontrarlo para leerlo de nuevo. Ayer tuve 2 ataques de hipoglucemia. Me desperté de uno de un sueño profundo esta mañana que me dejó en el suelo. Me hizo temblar con tanta violencia. No soy diabética y he sido examinada recientemente. ¿Qué está pasando con estos ataques? Los estoy teniendo principalmente cuando mi ciclo está terminando. Si alguien puede ayudarme a entender esto y qué puedo hacer al respecto, lo agradecería mucho.
I have hypoglyceamia due to nervous system damage, and it can wake me during the night, if it wakes you and you find you cant sleep, you need to put food by your bed, because if you dont eat, you will find it very difficult to go back off as our body then releases adrenalin to try and bring our sugars up for us, try a small protein snack, like handful of nuts and small amount of dried fruit with it for the carb content, but dont eat carbs on its own, stick with mainly protein, and dont eat refined sugars at all, around peri flare times, as this will cause a sugar crash and make the attack worse later on, its happening because like you have stated, you were at the end of your cycle, and hormones in all of us however subtle, causes sugar fluctuations, your test for diabetes is normal, because like me, it isnt your pancreas thats the problem, its hormones, eat little and often throughout the day during your flares to help keep your sugars balanced , especially immediately before your period, you will be fine when your on as when our hormones settle then, so, so do our sugars, it will then dip again a couple of days after finishing as, hormones leaving our bodies also causes imbalances in our sugars, and thats whats happening with you, so to avoid it being particularly bad during this time, you need to avoid sugar, thats why our bodies are giving us the sugar cravings, its telling us it needs sugar, but, dont eat refined sugars, you will just make that feeling worse not better, because eating refined sugar, causes us to produce insulin and too much insulin in our system causes are sugars to drop, and we want them to stay balanced, refined sugars give you up and downs, and unrefined, and particulary protein give us balance, but we do need unrefined carbs to give us energy but keep it small and always with protein.
Elaine, muchas gracias por esto. Empecé a preocuparme de que algo estuviera terriblemente mal y posiblemente fuera diabética, y simplemente me dieron los resultados equivocados. (le pasó a mi pobre esposo, le dieron los resultados negativos equivocados cuando en realidad era positivo para la diabetes) Me sentí mejor después de tomar un poco de jugo de naranja, pero más tarde, me enfermé del estómago, tal vez el jugo de naranja no fue la mejor elección. Compraré almendras y albaricoques secos y los guardaré en mi mesita de noche. Y ayer, tuve un montón de azúcar. Me desplomé con un ataque de hipoglucemia y tomé una barra de chocolate (qué mala elección)
I was worried for ages, I have this thirst and the only thing that makes it go is fruit cordial. If it has sweetener it just doesn't cut it.
Water seems to make me feel more thirsty.
I have a couple of diabetic friends and if they hear me say that they go on at me to get checked out because that is how theirs was.
I have been checked a few times now for it but all is well.
I'm wondering if like a b12 result you can be close to diabetic.
I was told with b12 that I was on the low side several years before it showed up as a deficiency.
Buena pregunta. Pero es algo aterrador de manejar, el temblor es aterrador.
Mi madre tenía hipoglucemia y terribles ataques de pánico durante sus años peri. A menudo me despierto después de aproximadamente 4 horas de sueño con la hipoglucemia, el pánico o ambos, pero no todas las noches. Estoy reduciendo mucho el azúcar y comiendo más proteínas y espero que ayude. También he estado tomando 3 mg de melatonina cada noche para intentar ayudarme a dormir, pero es impredecible y parece haber dejado de funcionar. Tomé 6 mg anoche y me desperté con hambre después de solo 4 horas y sigo despierta 3 horas después, nunca pude volver a dormir ni siquiera después de haber tenido un buen tentempié con proteína. Mis análisis de sangre y orina recientes también fueron normales, sin problemas de azúcar, solo este horrible desastre peri. ¿Intentas tener un tentempié de proteínas antes de dormir? A veces lo hago, pero no lo hice anoche porque estaba llena de la cena, tuve suficiente proteína en cada comida y pensé que estaba lista. La descripción de Elaine del tentempié, proteína con un poco de un carbohidrato saludable y bajo en azúcar, es cómo hago mis tentempiés con esto también. Voy a probar algunos suplementos vitamínicos adicionales también, acabo de empezar con Vitamina D y planeo agregar complejo B y C. ¡Cuídate y haznos saber cómo te va con esto, espero que algo ayude!
¡Gracias Elizabeth! Bueno, hice un poquito mejor y dormí hasta las 4 am, pero me desperté con el corazón acelerado, náuseas y lo que parecía ansiedad. Tenía mis almendras y fruta al lado de mi cama, así que las tragué (es tan difícil cuando no tienes apetito y estás nauseada). También tomé mi remedio de rescate de Bach y hasta ahora han pasado 15 minutos, pero las cosas se están calmando un poquito. Rezo para que continúe. También tomo vitamina D y complejo B. Este despertar matutino perimenopáusico no es nada divertido. Rezo para que esto pase rápidamente para todas nosotras.
¡Despertarse con ansiedad es lo peor!
¡Sí lo es! La ansiedad es simplemente terrible. La detesto absolutamente. La mayoría de las veces es mi falta de aire lo que la desencadena, pero despertar con ella es realmente horrible. Y algunos días se calma rápidamente y otros tarda horas y horas en calmarse. Es simplemente asqueroso.
Thats happened to me when ive drunk juice made me feel very sick, but felt good initially, think that is the sugar crash effect to be honest, the problem is, refined sugar goes in much too quickly and thats what causes the fall afterwards, you tend to think well if my body craves sugar then i w ill just stick this chocolate bar in, not realising that its just going to cause a another attack not long after, were just creating a viscious circle, you are allowed refined sugar if you feel low, especially if your having hypos but, your supposed to follow it with a small snack to stop the fall later on, but then again, your not really a diabetic so, its not the same thing, see how you get on with the nuts and apricots, apricots are a good choice, but eat more protein with it and see how you go, im not talking eating a small meal during the night, just a very small snack, just stick to your diet whilst in a peri flare, you wont need to be on it all the time, .................that is bad about your husbands test results, but unfortunately nowadays its happening all to much..................good luck snowbell, let us know if you feel better with changing your diet slightly.
Gracias Elaine. Esta mañana me fue mucho mejor con las almendras y las uvas. Gracias por tu ayuda. Definitivamente es un proceso.
I think if you feel you wake with genuine anxiety, the almonds and fruit wont work, hypoglyceamia causes panic attack type symptoms, fast heart, shakiness, breathless, need to wee, hot sweaty clammy, weak muscles, etc , this is because adrenalin comes out thats what gives you your symptoms initially, its to kick start our liver to produce the hormone glucagon, this is what our bodies naturally produce when our sugars go too low, so, when its that low, glucagon will always bring it up for us if we dont, that doesnt mean though, you shouldnt do anything about the attack yourself, but, you need to be sure what your experiencing to be sure of how to treat it, so, is it a panic attack your having due to anxiety with peri, or, a hypoglyceamic attack again due to peri, because treatment would be different for both, also when we become fatigued during peri, and we over exert ourselves we will get pain in our joints and muscles, and if we dont rest but push ourselves instead, knowing were getting tired, and have the aches and pains as our sign, we will then, also produce adrenalin, and all this affects our female hormones, so fatigue due to peri could be another reason why were getting the panic attacks, so, when you wake next time and cant sleep, keep a check on whether it was a day when you were particularly fatigued, and you feel you have pushed yourself that day. To deal with that it would be to rest during the day and pace ourselves, but also try drinking half glass of water upon waking, and see if that makes you go off, you may find you will wake again later if its down to fatigue, but again drink, and see how you get on, dont eat that night, just until you identify, what is exactly causing the attack, low sugar, fatigue, or, worsening of PMS symptoms, all caused by peri, the problem is, were not on HRT, which soughts everything with one pill or, patch, so what we have to do is, work out, what is happening, what am i dealing with tonight, and once idtentifed treat each group of symptoms accordingly, unfortunately its trial and error and sometimes some things work, and sometimes they dont, and i wonder if, we havent identified which particular group of symptoms were in so, can then get the treatment wrong, because there are so many conditions that give off the same symptoms, which makes our job even harder, hope this makes sense, just had this vision of you in midst panic throwing the nuts and apricots down you..................ha
good im glad, it is a process of ellimination, what is happening this day with my symptoms, which particular group of symptoms am i in, so what should i be doing for this today!! ive found grapes work well for me also, grapes are one that is known for bringing sugars up, so i think at the moment snowbell yours may be sugars thats your problem, stick with your diet and see how it goes, ive found that a certain amount of fat in my diet works well also, but we cant have too much of that now can we.
Yes zigangie ive found that water can do that with me, im tempted to say, that is nothing to do with our sugars going to high, i think that may be, we have taken in enough water and its actually starting to dilute our salts, which means we will go even thirstier, and what we should do then is, actually take in salt and drop the water down!! go on your urine colour, in the morning if it seems dark, your dehydrated, as you drink it will go straw like, or, clear, once this happens you have drunk enough water, stay off caffine though and fizzy drinks with caffine, it will affect our sugars, and our nervous system, which in turn will trigger our peri symptoms.
when you get the trembling, does it come with other symptoms, or is it on its own?? severe fatigue comes with trembling but you would have more symptoms if it was that, you would get more with low sugar also.
LOL.... ¡Tu visión era correcta! Me calmó, aunque solo por unas 2 horas, luego la ansiedad volvió a aparecer 
. Quiero agradecerte por esta información. Estoy tan perdido a veces sobre lo que está pasando.
Puede que necesite toda la grasa que pueda conseguir, he perdido tanto peso, es patético. Estoy tan delgado y con mala salud que me entra el pánico cuando pierdo el apetito. No me puedo permitir perder más peso
Junto con el temblor, me pongo nervioso, el corazón me late con fuerza, muy rápido. También a veces me siento mareado, la cabeza como si estuviera bajo el agua y a veces me siento abatido.
i know its extremely diffcult to work out isnt it, it really puts our multi tasking to the test doesnt it, glad the snack helped, that does sound like your sugars, unfortunately it will cause it to happen again later on, try just having the nuts next time, keep off the carbs, see how you go with that instead, your having whats called hypoglyceamic reactions, eating just starts to cause a viscious circle, of more insulin, which then lowers our sugar, so we need more food, but then we produce more insulin, so the circle starts, so if this is you, what i tend to do then is, starve myself for 24 hours then start again with my diet, tends to reboot everything, just resting the system seems to work sometimes, depends on how hungry you get though, if your having major hunger pangs, try if for half day, see how that works ..................ha
that sounds more like anxiety, i have had thousands, of hypo attacks, and reactions, dont get the doom and gloom, but that could be me couldnt it.
