My parents are diabetic but not on insulin, on other meds. If medication is missed, because their metabolism and insulin production is so out of whack, hypoglycemia can result.

OMG

You've given us a whole class on diabetes!!!

But don't worry... anobody whose got a diabetic family member will totally agree with you, plus, wasn't this taught in class 10th????...I'm sure it was!

I too noticed this flaw, his sugar level will drop only if he hasn't had any sugar at all, or if had had an extra dose of insulin... well, they've made a technical mistake there.

But this is not the first time!..just 2-3 episodes back Arnav had said that stars don't have their own light.. and to top it, everybody had agreed with him!!!!

The writers are not scientifically sound! Although they are very good!!!

Anyways... best of luck wid ur exam!

Wait i thought it was:

Arnav has low sugar levels (Hypoglycaemia). Meaning his body can not make the correct amount of glucose resulting in him taking tablets to correct that.

If he has LOW sugar levels, the amount will continue to drop as the body continues to use up the low supplies of glucose, there will be symptoms of shaking, dizzy spells, hunger and also excess sweating, that usually indicates to the patient (our case Arnav) he needs to eat something sugary.

Now coming to your post, you said the levels will go up. Thats impossible, the body has basically used up all the glucose it can to function properly and will continue to do so until hes almost run out - fainting.

Khushi giving him sweet stuff is a BRILLIANT idea, however he needs come carbs there after to keep the balance.

Cant give a complete analysis as we're not sure how bad his diabetes is, however he should know when hes going to have an attack. If you are a hypo patient, always carry sweets in your bag just incase!

Likely : Not knowing that missing one dose of 'metformin' won't kill you or make you go into diabetic shock, Arnav probably decides to take matters into his own hand and doesn't eat anything all day. The lack of food and low blood sugar due to the fact that he hasn't had anything to eat all day are probably contributing to his dizzy spell.

Just a thought w/o going into my college biology days which were back in the late 90s...hahahaa

I though Anjali and one more time it was mentioned he had DIABETES:

dIBAETESand hypoglycemia are conditions caused by abnormal blood sugar levels. In diabetes, blood sugar levels are too high. In hypoglycemia, the levels are too low. Both conditions need to be treated.

If he has LOW sugar levels, the amount will continue to drop as the body continues to use up the low supplies of glucose, there will be symptoms of shaking, dizzy spells, hunger and also excess sweating, that usually indicates to the patient (our case Arnav) he needs to eat something sugary.
