How to control diabetes
You take good diet and lifestyle is also good, still if fasting sugar remains low then it is not good for health. Because low sugar level can be very dangerous. We will tell you why this happens, what are its reasons and how it can be maintained. For this, we have talked to Dr. L.H. Ghotekar at Lady Hardinge Medical College, Delhi. Dr. Ghotekar has explained about the medical reasons for low sugar level.
Dr. Ghotekar says that increasing the sugar level is not only dangerous, but decreasing it is equally dangerous. In some cases, it also makes the patient’s condition quite serious. Some cases are seen where the HbA1c level of a person is normal after eating, but the fasting sugar level remains low (below 70). If this happens, it is a sign of deteriorating health.
Why does fasting sugar level decrease?
Dr. Ghotekar explains that the first common reason for low fasting sugar is that some people skip dinner. Due to this, the body does not get enough carbohydrates and proteins and there is no energy left in the body. Due to this the sugar level remains low in the morning. In some people, falling sugar level can also be a sign of liver disease. This is because the liver stores glucose. If it does not work properly, fasting sugar may decrease. In some cases, any problem in the pancreas can also be the reason.
Dr. Ghotekar says that there are many symptoms of low fasting sugar level which are visible in the body, but in some cases people do not pay attention to them. When this problem becomes serious and the patient’s condition worsens, then the patient comes for treatment. In such a situation, you should definitely pay attention to these symptoms of sugar level going down.
