Hyperglycemia Adrenaline is a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal. This can occur due to prolonged and frequent use of adrenaline. In this article we will look at the causes, symptoms and consequences of adrenaline hyperglycemia.
Adrenaline hyperglycemia occurs in people who use adrenaline in their daily lives. This effect of adrenaline occurs due to its effect on the body. Adrenaline improves lung and heart function, increases blood pressure, accelerates blood circulation, increases respiratory activity and has a stimulating effect on the nervous system.
However, prolonged and frequent use of epinephrine can lead to elevated blood sugar levels. This happens because adrenaline increases the secretion of insulin in the body. Insulin is a hormone that lowers sugar levels, and its excessive secretion can lead to hyperglycemia.
Symptoms of adrenal hyperglycemic states may include:
Feeling tired Increased heart rate Frequent urination Drowsiness Loss of appetite Decreased muscle mass Mood swings Numbness of the hands and feet Headaches Loss of coordination of movements. Long-term exposure to high glucose levels leads to poor functioning of the body. Sudden changes in blood glucose can lead to various pathological processes, such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, cerebral edema, etc.
How to avoid adrenergic hyperglycemia? If you constantly need to use adrenaline, you can follow the following recommendations: - Drink enough fluid to maintain fluid balance in the body, as hyperglycemic conditions increase fluid loss; - Try to eat foods rich in carbohydrates (but not sugar), as carbohydrates slow down the rise in glucose levels; - Follow a regular schedule of adrenaline intake (for example, taking a pill every day) to avoid stressful situations that accelerate the rise in sugar levels; - Consult your doctor to prescribe additional medications to help control your sugar levels; - Avoid exercising immediately after consuming epinephrine as this may cause your glucose levels to rise faster.
