How to treat exercise-induced hypoglycemia

You will find that some people seem to sweat a lot, no matter it is summer or winter, they sweat when walking, doing things, or even eating. Sometimes they sweat a lot when they encounter something stressful. This is the so-called hyperhidrosis. The cause of hyperhidrosis is hypoglycemia. You may experience symptoms of dizziness and nausea after exercise. Maybe you have exercise-induced hypoglycemia. So how should exercise-induced hypoglycemia be treated? Let me tell you about it today.

Many people will experience this condition after exercise. Let’s first see what it is. Exercise-induced hypoglycemia refers to dizziness, nausea, vomiting, cold sweats and other discomforts caused by low blood sugar during or after exercise. In severe cases, shock or death may occur. It is common in long-distance marathon, marathon, long-distance skiing, skating and cycling, and is more common in women. Sports training requires energy metabolism, and sugar plays an important role in energy metabolism and has a great impact on the body's athletic ability. Among the three major energy substances, sugar is the only energy substance that can be metabolized under anaerobic conditions and can also be directly converted into the other two major energy substances. It is easy to replenish, but also easy to lose, causing exercise-induced hypoglycemia, which seriously affects the body's athletic performance and health.

How to treat it? Let’s see:

1. Correct hypoglycemia: During the attack period, patients with mild symptoms can be given sugary food (such as sugar water, candy or sugar porridge, etc.); patients with severe symptoms can be given intravenous injection or drip of glucose solution, and comatose patients can be given intravenous drip of hydrocortisone at the same time.

2. Etiology treatment:

(1) For functional hypoglycemia, various inducing factors should be avoided, mental stimulation should be prevented, and diet should be adjusted reasonably. If necessary, a small amount of placebo or sedative should be used.

(2) For hypoglycemia caused by subtotal gastrectomy, a high-protein, low-sugar, and dry diet can be used.

(3) Organic hypoglycemia should be treated according to different causes. For example, hypoglycemia caused by insulin should be surgically removed. For pancreatic B-cell tumors that cannot be removed, streptozotocin can be tried. For hypoglycemia caused by severe liver disease, the liver disease should be actively treated. For hypoendocrine dysfunction, hormone replacement therapy can be given.

From this we can see that although exercise can make our bodies stronger, and even many men and women will use exercise to make their bodies more perfect, everyone must remember not to exercise excessively, otherwise it will not be worth it if they suffer from exercise-induced hypoglycemia.
