About Adult Medicine: 5 Reasons To Check Your Blood Sugar! 1. You are hungry. If you are hungry, it’s possible your blood sugar is on the low
side or you are in an official state of hypoglycemia. It’s better to know your number before treating versus eating, without testing, based on hunger.

sugar). Again, it’s always better to test than to assume you just need a glass of water. Testing can reveal a high blood sugar that requires your attention. If you are high, drinking plenty of fluids is important to rehydrate.

3. You are tired. One can become tired when levels are high or low, so if you’re feeling especially exhausted, check your blood sugar!

sugar not only endangers you and your passengers, but other people on the roads and sidewalks as well. Consider driving to be a privilege and a great responsibility. If you are too low to drive, it is best to treat your low, check fifteen minutes later to see where you stand.
5. You are going to bed. Some people are incredibly deep sleepers, and a high or a low blood sugar (called hypoglycemia unawareness) will not awake them. Be sure to have a good number before you hit the sack! Remember, you hold most of the power in your diabetes management, and of course a key component of living well with diabetes is testing, testing, and testing more. May you find the conviction and motivation to keep your meter handy!
About Neurology: Might You Benefit From Seeing a Neurologist? What does a neurologist treat? Neurologists treat disorders of the nervous system, brain, spinal cord, nerves, muscles and pain. How are neurological disorders treated? Many disorders can be treated. Treatment or symptomatic relief is different for each condition. To find treatment options, neurologists will perform and interpret tests of the brain or nervous system. Treatment can help patients with neurological disorders maintain the best possible quality of life. Why do patients need a neurological examination? An examination is used when a family doctor seeks a specialized opinion about a patient whose symptoms may involve the brain or nervous system. The examination may also be performed when a patient wants a second opinion from a neurologist. The neurologist’s expertise in disorders of the brain and nervous system can give patients effective diagnosis and treatment for neurological disorders.
