Glükózeltérések

Glükózeltérések refers to deviations from normal blood glucose levels. These conditions encompass a spectrum, with the most common being hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). Hyperglycemia is most often associated with diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by impaired insulin production or function, leading to elevated blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells, while type 2 diabetes involves insulin resistance and a relative deficiency in insulin secretion. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and typically resolves after childbirth. Other causes of hyperglycemia can include certain medications, pancreatitis, and endocrine disorders.

Hypoglycemia, conversely, signifies dangerously low blood glucose levels. It can be caused by an excess of insulin (either naturally produced or administered), insufficient carbohydrate intake, excessive physical activity, or certain medical conditions like liver disease or adrenal insufficiency. Symptoms of hypoglycemia can range from mild, such as shakiness, sweating, and confusion, to severe, including seizures and loss of consciousness. Monitoring blood glucose levels through self-testing or continuous glucose monitoring is crucial for individuals with diagnosed glükózeltérések to manage their condition effectively and prevent complications. Treatment strategies vary depending on the specific deviation and underlying cause, and may involve dietary changes, medication, or lifestyle adjustments.
