And in this situation, if it persists for a long time, we can actually see mental changes as well. UCAN is powered by SuperStarch, the fat-burning fuel of choice for metabolically efficient endurance athletes and health enthusiasts. And if it gets way up high, up in the 400s or even 500s, it can be associated with some alteration in mental function. Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by the UCAN, the only sports fuel of its kind and a fuel that helps you thrive via stable blood sugar, metabolic efficiency and more. On the other side, if blood sugar gets up above 180 to 200, then it exceeds the capacity of the kidneys to reabsorb the glucose and we begin to spill glucose into the urine. And of course that is very dangerous and a medical emergency. But if blood sugar drops below 50 and can get down as low as 40 or 30 or even 20, then there is a progressive loss of mental function and eventually unconsciousness and seizures. Now, if the blood sugar drops below about 60 or 65 milligrams per deciliter, people will generally get symptoms, which are some shakiness, feeling of hunger, maybe a little racing of the heart and they will usually be trenchant or if they eat something, it goes away right away. The high blood sugar level often can be controlled by following a diet and/or taking medication, although some patients must take insulin. Now in our diabetic patients we see both low blood sugar levels that we call hypoglycemia, or elevated blood sugars, hyperglycemia. So there is a fairly narrow range of blood sugar throughout the entire day. Now when you eat a meal, blood sugar generally rises and in a normal individual it usually does not get above a 135 to 140 milligrams per deciliter. So it's most commonly done before breakfast in the morning and the normal range there is 70 to 100 milligrams per deciliter. What we call fasting blood sugar or blood glucose levels is usually done six to eight hours after the last meal. — - Question:What is the normal range for blood sugar levels, and what blood sugar level constitutes a true emergency?Īnswer:Now, in a normal individual we measure blood sugar under different circumstances.
