Is it good to raise blood sugar?

(5 posts)
  1. It's unhealthy to have persistently high blood sugar levels, but for the most part that's really only a problem for a diabetic. A high-glycemic diet can cause weight gain and and other problems, but if you're truly a non-diabetic, cake and fruit juice won't make you one. Again, though - not advocating that you eat this way.

    If you're eating cakes and fruit all the time, it's highly doubtful that you're depleting your glycogen stores. Are you sure that you're suffering from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)? Have you actually been tested or do you just feel weak?

    Dr. David Bruce Banner,
    Anything that raises blood glucose levels also has the potential to elevate urine glucose levels. Increased urine glucose levels may be seen with medications, such as estrogens and chloral hydrate, and with some forms of renal disease. Moderately increased blood levels may be seen with pre-diabetes. This condition, if left un-addressed, often leads to type 2 diabetes. Low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia) are also seen with - Adrenal insufficiency. Drinking alcohol. Drugs, such as acetaminophen and anabolic steroids. Extensive liver disease. Hypopituitarism. Hypothyroidism. Insulin overdose. Insulinomas. Starvation. Some of the other diseases and conditions that can result in elevated glucose levels include - Acromegaly. Acute stress (response to trauma, heart attack, and stroke for instance). Chronic renal failure. Cushing syndrome. Drugs, including - corticosteroids, tricyclic antidepressants, diuretics, epinephrine, estrogens (birth control pills and hormone replacement), lithium, phenytoin (Dilantin), salicylates, Excessive food intake. Hyperthyroidism. Pancreatic cancer. Pancreatitis. You would be advised to obtain tests to ascertain the cause of your low blood glucose and adjust your diet accordingly or be advised by a dietician.

    ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. - MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.

    It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms.

    If you have diabetes, you MUST keep your blood sugar low. No, it is NOT healthy to raise blood sugar.

    You seem to be guessing about the cause of your tiredness, basing your answer on things you have heard from people without knowledge.

    GO TO THE DOCTOR and get a checkup, including complete blood work, before you make ANY serious changes.
