Q. What causes the frequent urination when blood sugar is high? I know it's because high blood sugar dehydrates the body by making the body diurese fluids but why? Please explain it to me the best you can.
A. blood sugar is called glucose
glucose is negatively charged. water molecules always surround something that has a charge in order to neutralize the charge
when you have high glucose in the blood, its so much that it gets into the urine as well. the glucose in the urine draws water into the urine. Then you pee out the water. That is how water is lost from the body when you have high blood sugar

What is a high level of blood sugar during gestational diabetes to have big babies?
Q. I am consistently checking my blood sugar and it is usually 95-105 in the morning. I am usually 115-160 after eating. I am wondering if these levels are too high and will cause me to deliver a large baby? I do not take insulin or diabetic pills, so far I have been diet controlled. What are high levels that WILL cause you to have a large baby.
A. Yes, you're too high. Based on your numbers, I would say that you're not diet controlled. You need to stop the refined carbs, and switch to more wholesome natural foods if you want the healthiest possible baby. You should also include some daily exercise and bring your weight down. Instead of concerning yourself with numbers that might cause a large baby, you should be shooting for normal blood sugar levels and let the baby develop naturally.
What long term effects do unstable blood sugar have on the body?
Q. A coworker of mine is 58 and has Diabetes Type 1. She calls in sick because her blood sugar is too low (30-40). At work, she frequently complains about fatigue and confusion because of low blood sugar. This happens at least once a week, and she might call in sick once a month because of this. I hear her complain about the blood sugar being too low more often than it being to high. She also drinks rather excessively. What is she doing to her body?
A. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can be dangerous. The brain can suffer from irreversible damage. She should follow dietary guidelines. The dose of anti diabetic drugs also needs to be adjusted.
What would happen if you had a low blood sugar level?
Q. Okay. If you had a low blood sugar level and you didn't know you were diabetic, what would happen? How long would you stay in hospital for, and what medication would you have (including that for your diabetes)? Are there any complications that may arise and cause you to stay in hospital for more than the usual time? Thanks heaps!
A. You could have seizures, faint and/or go into a comatose state. When you're blood sugar hits too high, and your diabetic, your pancreas releases too much insulin and causes it to drop. Depending on what kind of reaction you had when your sugar dropped would be about how long you would remain hospitalized. As for medication, you could be put on an insulin regime which will manually control your sugar levels. You will need a glucose monitor to check your blood sugar regularly throughout the day, especially around meals, and your diet will be either slightly or significantly restricted. Complications can arise being as minor as hot flashes during the night to having to have your feet amputated.
Diabetes can be the result of diet, lifestyle, and genetic family history. To see if you're at risk, consult your doctor and see what measures you can take to see if your diabetic, and if you're not, what you can do to prevent from becoming it. Take care of yourself.
