Does High Blood Sugar Cause Trauma?

If you are told that the reason you are in the hospital was that your blood sugar is off the charts. Does High Blood Sugar Cause Trauma? This was my sister, who had gotten an infection that had gotten out of control. They told her, her blood sugar was high due to the pain she was suffering; she did not know she had high blood sugar. They gave her a shot of insulin and told her, she was a diabetic. Luckily, her infection and her pain were under control and now her blood sugar was under control as well. Being in extreme pain is traumatizing enough as it is, but been told you are a diabetic as well, on top of that, just adds to the trauma.

What brings on all these illnesses, besides been Latino? It is already said as Latino, we are 98% Destin to be diabetics. But what brings the inset of illnesses? Trauma. Trauma brings childhood trauma or adult traumas and turns un-resolved or undealt with trauma, bringing on other illnesses, but diabetes is one of the prevalence of them all.

There has been increasing interest in the significance of the raised blood glucose that very often occurs in persons suffering critical illness and trauma. In several studies doctors in research have shown a connection between hyperglycemia and poor outcome;

Knowledge and studies in this area are extended by a recent study of patients and those suffering severe trauma, this appears to be combined, standing from childhood trauma and adult trauma.

Out of a study aimed to test a specific hypothesis that at admission were tested for blood sugar in the blood. 1,675 patients 555 other patients admitted into the emergency room at a Switzerland hospital qualified for this study entry. They were adults and non-diabetic.

103 out of the 555 patients died of high blood sugar. 8% of the 555 died of other circumstances. 103 patients to me are a very high number to die of high blood sugar due to their experience in trauma.

Inclusion of admission of blood sugar was shown to significantly improve the accuracy of currently used models to predict mortality among trauma victims. The authors of the study were able to use the data generated to establish a model for the prediction of death following severe trauma based on admission blood sugar alone

. This is very interesting information and discovery. Those with severe trauma die of a disease if they have suffered severe trauma, be it violent or sexual. If high blood sugar is not managed, which at times it is almost impossible due to all the ingredients a food contains, unless you are fixing your meals yourself.

According to Harvard schools, patients can risk losing limbs, losing eye vision, or go into a coma. Dangerously high levels of blood sugar can lead to a coma which is characterized by loss of consciousness which can lead to death.

Hang on to your seats, there is some good news, you can supposedly manage. You could say by starving practically. Your always hungry, why? Because your body, due to the sugar in your system, is quickly using up your food and using it up quickly, so you are generally always hungry.

I could lie to you and say most people with diabetes can lead happy, full, and normal lives with adjustments to their diabetes and use insulin injections and other measures. When you hear this do not believe it. Do you know one? Yes, they do the best with it. But HAPPY? I don’t think so. But each his own.

If you are just a pre-diabetic, don’t’ take metformin, it will get you into a diabetic 1 faster than you know. Using meditation and getting to know your body, is the first step. Manage the sugar intake is another step, but many foods contain carbohydrates, and it’s the carbohydrates that you have to watch for and try to have a healthy liver. A healthy liver is very important, it takes care of the sugar intake, not the pancreas.

May God gives the long lives and heals us from our traumas and their illnesses. Many blessings to all of us who suffer from diabetics.
