@@sugarhighchannel❤ I was having sugar lows in the 30s and I couldn't even walk I would sort of like pass out they found me in my car outside when I was supposed to be driving to work and that sugar was 34
I passed out in public one day! I woke up a few minutes later,people were standing around me,looking.A lady told me to sit in the chair and she gave me a peppermint, soon the paramedics came.
I went through the five hour test in a Hospital when I was in my late twenties and I got so bad they had to intervene and shoot up my sugar back up. It was a frightening feeling. It went down to 51. I will never forget the number. I really don't pay attention till I hit a crisis mode and I grab sugar fast. it happened to me in front of friends just recently and I was so uncomfortable because I couldn't even respond to them talking to me and asking what was happening. I thought I was having a panic attack but it was my blood sugar. I got sugar and within a few minutes I snapped out of it. Sadly, I forget I have it, which is not good. This has been happening at least once on a daily basis and I am going to try to pay better attention to it. you literally feel like you are shutting down and going to pass out.
This is exactly how I get if I’m walking my legs feel like they’re gonna fall under me & anything going on around me feels weird I panic & my first response is sugar NOW!! Fruit, a bread, a candy. I’ve never been tested but I had the RNY Bypass over 6 years ago. I guess now I know why I need protein for this exact reason.
What's the 5hr test? A fast? If so how do diabetics cope with going to bed? I think people become so used to snacking and a near constant flow of dietary sugar that they can't cope with the transition/wobble/dip you get.
New subbie here. I have experienced false low. This video has made me understand what was going on in my body at that time. Doc told me am pre-diabetic. I immediately went low carb and quit sugar and experienced hypo symptoms! Only later when I finally got a hold of my doc did he tell me I should have reduce carbs & sugar slowly to give time for my body to adjust.
Our MDs do understand the benefits. The reality is... we have to prescribe what insurances will cover (and how much patients are willing to pay). As a nurse, getting diabetes medications approved is very frustrating for our practice. We need a better plan for diabetics in this country!
@MNP208 You know the hardest thing to watch is this video. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I am 28 years old and I was born with Type 1 Diabetes and I never went through the symptom of weight loss but I did have nausea and vomiting 🤮. I know your probably thinking 💭 doesn’t Type 1 Diabetes cause brain damage if you are not given anything? Yes it does and I am so lucky 🍀 that the brain hemorrhage and the stroke have healed.
You know the best thing about your videos is that I can share them with my family who has a hard time understanding diabetes. You are able to explain things much better than I can. Thanks!
One word my friend KETONES. I have be doing Keto for 17 years and intermittent fasting for 6. I have to use insulin for almost all meals.(bacon and eggs is a freebie though, no rise) I regularly do physical labour for hours around the 2.5 (45) perfectly fine and may not be eating for days. If I get down to 1.5 (27) then things start to get a bit strange, ground moves, sweating but this lasts for about 5 mins then the body makes it's own glucose and brings me back up into the mid 2's. EVERY TIME. The body has to be fully keto adapted so the brain is running on ketones.
I just stated following you my sugar actually dropped to 35 yesterday 1st time in 10’years and I’m also pregnant super scary moment thank you for the video can you do a video with type 2 diabetes and pregnancy
I have chronic pancreatitis and now I’m have problems keeping my blood sugar up I can drink a soda still get lower sugar even glucose gummies barely work I’ve passed out falling flat on my face or I can’t stand I fall what can I do get it up ??
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. Really appreciate the efforts made to bring that FREE COURSE at such brilliant order. I really pay attention when watching your videos as if i am studying. Finally thanks for considering your Overseas friends regarding the explanation in multiple units of measurements. for example i am a community pharmacist originally from Egypt but currently working Kuwait and units are different in both.
10:50 - Nobody (inculduing this video) EVER talks about the 15 minute WAIT period - how bad it is, what you should do during THAT 15 minute window. Sit an pray, or squeeze your hands together? It is an awful time to endure hypo without doing anything... Further more, depending on the severity of the hypo, 15g might not cut it enough for you to LAST until the next 15-minute window
My daughter is 29 yrs old, has been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. She is not a diabetic and not on any medications. I am a type 2 diabetic. We are still trying to educate ourselves.
Hope this helps. Sometimes people without diabetes get hypoglycemia. But it can also be an early sign of future diabetes, especially when there's a family history.
@@allenjeanette83 And they are not going to do. There is no medicine for it. The secret is to eat everything in combination. Do not eat or drink sweets at all and if you eat do not do it on your empty stomach. The 15/15 rule maybe work for hypoglycemia in diabetics but not for the no diabetic and it is very dangerous - it is totally different. It is amazing the misinformation about the hypoglycemia on non diabetics. The whole thing is that the problem is every time you eat and if is carb or sugar by itself it goes up very quickly and drop the same way so you have to eat in a way that doesn’t allow it to happens. Eat protein each meal + fat and then maybe you can eat a piece of cake or banana and not have the sugar spike. I can only eat banana in combination with flax seed and I discovered that if I add 3 tbs of coconut oil with the banana and flax for breakfast it keep the sugar from spike during the day - I am not eating dairy or gluten. I had seizures when was 18 was diagnosed hypoglycemic (35) around my 45 and now l’am 69 and it is still very difficult to be well for long time. Always on the alert even though I take very good care of what I eat. If you exercise can interfere with the sugar level as well. Good luck!
@@sugarhighchannel ..am non diabetic having reactive hypoglycemia and having high fasting and postpandrial insulin levels..40 uiuml and >300 uiuml. No family history of diabetes.
My 13 year old granddaughter fainted in bathtub her eyes were twitching so fast Dr said she had low blood sugar together with urine infection etc and together with her potassium low it was such a scary experience er doc said she gonna have to carry candy with her at all times 😭
Is it possible to feel jittery and light headed if sugar levels normal. Could insulin resistance cause this? When there is sudden drop in levels when insulin spikes but not causing abnormally low levels. Almost like a fight or flight response
I have had low blood sugar all my life. I grew up in Germany and can get glucose sugar virtually anywhere. Compared to regular household sugar it goes directly into the blood and I feel better in a very short time. Outside Germany it is more of a problem. Either it is not available at all or only available in pharmacies for exorbitant prices.
For the first time in my life (outside of the ER), a doctor tested my BG, which was part of their routine well check exam. My non-fasting BG was 50. I had eaten a snack in the waiting room approximately 20 mins before the blood test. My A1C came back as 4.8. My PCP had me come back to test 6 months later, with a 67 non-fasting BG. I’m a non-diabetic, no alcohol for over 4 years, and do not take medications that lower blood sugar. I’ve had dizzy spells that resolve with a carb-rich snack since I was a child. I have intense sweating and shakiness in the morning that resolves in about 15 minutes after breakfast. I could go on. Essentially, I have the “Whipple Triad,” but I don’t know what’s causing this & I want to find out. What additional tests should I request to investigate the cause? Everything I can find is talking about diabetes and low blood sugar being “rare” outside of diabetes. Also seeing tons of stuff about reactive hypoglycemia, which is not what I’m experiencing. I don’t have a high carbohydrate diet and eat healthy, exercise regularly, the whole works. What am I dealing with?
I want to add that my PCP prescribed Metformin from the 1st test to the 2nd test, so she was encouraged that my non-fasting BG went up after 6 months on Metformin. It is still clinically low though. I also have far fewer hunger episodes and rarely ever have sugar cravings now. However, I’m still struggling with the hypo symptoms on a daily basis.
So what happens when u drink to bring it up...isn't it bad to bring it up to fast, and then u will have another crash soon...please explain. I've been hearing there are better things besides sugary, like maybe a teaspoon of sugarless peanut butter, or almond butter, organic. Is this good also?

7:20 "...the glucose is the only form of energy that your brain can use..." FALSE!! After going 24-48 hours without any carbs, glycogen levels become depleted and insulin levels decrease (this happens much faster with high-intensity exercise). At this point, the liver steps up its production of water-soluble compounds known as KETONES, created by the breakdown of fatty acids. Ketones can be made from either the fat you eat or your body’s fat stores. The resulting ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier to provide the brain with an additional source of energy.
Mainly watched this because i didn’t eat for a few hours, and i didn’t get any dinner, so i threw up and my mother suggested that it’s low-blood sugar, so i wanted to find out how to make the blood sugar normal again, so then i ate smtg. Now i learned so much more than i had actually planned, but i love it, i sort of like learning facts and information, it makes me feel more clevere 🤓😂. Also this has happened to me before, i didn’t get anything to eat for a very long period of time because i was travelling with my class, and when we arrived it was night so every store was closed, there were venting machines, but not many and i had never used one before so i didn’t trust it so quickly, so i slept through the whole night, and i felt a bit uneasy, then in the morning we were walking for 30 minutes, then finally we arrived at a center, so i felt like i had to throw up really badly, i bought food and took about two bites and threw up on it, but don’t worry, i walked away from the people who made the food before i threw up, i was going towards the exist just in case, but too late.. i threw up in the center, on myself, on my two friends, and on my newly bought food, even worse is that i set the food down outside the center and when i came back it was gone, i really hope nobody ate that 😳. (Also i am not diabetic as far as i know, but my grandpa has diabetes🤔).
That beautiful baby is so adorable, she's so well behaved, prim and proper! ! I've been taking insulin since 2010 so I learned how to manage some mild hypoglycemic attacks over the years, but it's my first time to hear about the 15-15 rule. Thank you for another video packed with very helpful information. I learn more from your videos than my doctors! Is the risk for hypoglycemia the main reason why doctors prescribe oral medication first before insulin or is it the reason insulin is partnered oral medications? I used to wonder why we still need oral medication when insulin alone can do the job. Besides hypoglycemia, what are the other risks of too much insulin in the body? Thank you and more power!
Thank you! The risk of hypoglycemia is one of the main reasons why we don't go to insulin right away. But also are the cardiovascular and kidney benefits that certain other medication offer. Insulin reduces the glucose, but can cause weight gain in addition to hypoglycemia and doesn't offer specific cardiovascular or kidney risk reduction.
@@sugarhighchannel thank you. What certain diabetic medications have some of that effects on kidneys? I am taking Telmisartan for my hypertension and it has helped reduce the albumin/protein in my urine from +4 to +2 now.
If I wait to long to eat, maybe not hungry or fasting then when I do I have a funny feeling in my chest and get sleepy. Plus may make my heart skip beats for a little while. This hypoglycemia
So does this mean I have hypoglycemia after drinking juice my heart calms down I had an episode a few months ago where it was the opposite it was 211 my glucose had to to the emergency room they gave me insulin but now 3 days in a row I can’t sleep cause I have palpitations and fast heart beat irrability, headache and once I drink orange juice it gets better just crazy how you can go from such an extreme high to now a low and both are bad
So on a day when my level of physical exertion is going to be high I 'could' (as an example) have pancakes with syrup for breakfast and perhaps a few Jelly Beans later if/when feeling lightheaded? These are the days when I have these 'bouts' of lightheadedness from greatly raised physical exertion and develop a 100% certain feeling that I'll faint if I don't sit down. This has happened to me about 3 times now and I have a strong feeling after doing a ton of research that I may well be suffering with the onset of Hypoglycemia. I also find that should I talk after sitting down 'post hypo' that the feeling that I could faint are present as well. I virtually have to stop talking and just sit down for a good 30 minutes and relax until I'm feeling better. My balance is also affected. I am slightly overweight but not obese by any means. My sugar intake has greatly reduced to near nil as am dieting and happy to say losing weight. I have had blood tests recently (basic check up type) and no mention of Diabetes was made. Maybe I should get some of these Glucose tablets... and perhaps there are self test kits to measure G' levels? Very informative upload. Thanks for your efforts... have to say, super cute baby in the background too! Apologies if my questions have been answered in your other uploads and for the longish' post. Late here on the other side of the world, must stop researching now! Need to hit the hay! Will keenly await a few answers/suggestions. TIA. :o) PS. Sure hope you'll advocate the occasional/rare pancake with syrup breakfast! Only on 3 or 4 high exertion days/month... no intention of abusing/gaining weight back that's for sure! Regards. Omni'.
Ughs.. I have both was dx with hypoglycemic at 12ish.. but most of my new doctors in the past think I was Misdiagnosed. All I know is I just watch my glucose for every meal
Have you heard of insulinoma? It’s a type of tumor on pancreas which produces insulin non stop. Can you advice me what to eat to put up with the insulin please?
I recently have had a bout of low blood sugars that dipped into the the low 40s. I am going to be tested next week with a 2 hour glucose test. I am also a bariactric patient. I had vsg 4 years ago. What is worse reactive or non reactive hypoglycemia? What do I do? How do I eat? I am used to having a low carb diet. I’m scared to eat carbs and eat several times a day. I don’t want to regain weight.😭
I’m on therapeutic low carb lifestyle and only allow a max of 20 total not net carbs a day. I am type 1 diabetic. I rarely have symptoms of low BGs until in the 30’s. I do not treat with carbs. I treat with protein (chicken drumstick is my fav and I keep some in refrig since I don’t mind cold chicken) but it does take more time to recover from symptoms. Your liver will convert protein to glucose. I have had to treat with carbs only twice in past 14 months but since my body functons on ketones not glucose, when I treat I only consume 6 carbs not 15. And recheck BG 15-30 min later. I don’t like glucose tabs so I keep Sweet Tarts in a old prescription containers (bedside, kitchen & car glovebox). I buy half price after holidays if needed. Only eat 3-4. Has your doc done HgbA1c and c-peptide? You could be Diabetic 1.5 aka LADA that has not been diagnosed. Can’t believe doctors are still doing glucose tolerance tests. Best of luck!!!
I currently got diagnosed as what there calling prediabetes. Here is my question. My a1c is between 5.8-6.0 and I tested positive. My blood sugar has not gone over 200 in the last couple months but keeps going low. There telling me to have 75 grams of carbs per meal and 15-30 for snacks. But here is the thing.... I've stayed away from all fast food, pops ect.. and my sugar spikes to 170s and than 20-30 mins later I'm dropping suddenly. There saying I could be type 1 or 2 but my sugar high is not the problem... It's dropping low not rising.. what could be going on and causing this?? It's very frustrating.
aint gonna lie the 15/15 rule goes out the window when i have a serve drop after taking insuilin and I've seemed to absorb that in the space of 20mins this is called,eat everything insight stage! :)))))))))
Thank you so much for sharing this but , Can you explain to me why ACE , ARBs inhibitors and longer duration of diabetes and older age are risk for hypoglycemia? And Thank you so much again 🙏🏻
Like I mentioned in the video, ANY diabetes medication CAN cause low blood sugar. With Ozempic though, it’s extraordinarily rare. So rare that it’s actually being tested in non-diabetic people to help them lose weight. If people without high blood glucose (in other words people without diabetes) can take it with minimal risk of hypoglycemia, that kinda puts some perspective on the safety of Ozempic (and other medications in that family).
@@sugarhighchannel Thank you! Due to fear, I have been off meds since then and my sugar is high. With your your review I feel much safer trying it. Thank you and thank you for your videos!
Today i had an episode. I ate a sandwich at 2pm by 9 i was having an what felt like an anxiety attack. Im a recovering alcoholic but i have been sober for 8 years. Does this sould like sugar to you?
What if low blood sugar just happens naturally with any diabetic medicine at all. It happened to me after i caught covid and now im a covd long hauler (sad face) 😞
Thank you so much for sharing you experience, in hypoglycemia you can also try Ashwagandha capsules from Planet Ayurveda it helps in normalise the blood sugar.
It does. I botched that line and forgot to mention that ketones are a viable backup source. I was trying to make the point that dietary proteins and fats aren’t directly usable by the brain and I made an embarrassing omission.
Your information is factually and principally incorrect. The brain can and does run on ketones. It doesn’t need glucose. In fact ketones are better utilized. How do I know? Because I am on keto.
Great info..cute baby

Also this has happened to me before, i didn’t get anything to eat for a very long period of time because i was travelling with my class, and when we arrived it was night so every store was closed, there were venting machines, but not many and i had never used one before so i didn’t trust it so quickly, so i slept through the whole night, and i felt a bit uneasy, then in the morning we were walking for 30 minutes, then finally we arrived at a center, so i felt like i had to throw up really badly, i bought food and took about two bites and threw up on it, but don’t worry, i walked away from the people who made the food before i threw up, i was going towards the exist just in case, but too late.. i threw up in the center, on myself, on my two friends, and on my newly bought food, even worse is that i set the food down outside the center and when i came back it was gone, i really hope nobody ate that 😳. (Also i am not diabetic as far as i know, but my grandpa has diabetes🤔).
I have learnt. Awesome. But the question is : can hyperglycemia n hyperinsulinemia exist at the same time? Thanks for the answer.
That beautiful baby is so adorable, she's so well behaved, prim and proper! ! I've been taking insulin since 2010 so I learned how to manage some mild hypoglycemic attacks over the years, but it's my first time to hear about the 15-15 rule. Thank you for another video packed with very helpful information. I learn more from your videos than my doctors! Is the risk for hypoglycemia the main reason why doctors prescribe oral medication first before insulin or is it the reason insulin is partnered oral medications? I used to wonder why we still need oral medication when insulin alone can do the job. Besides hypoglycemia, what are the other risks of too much insulin in the body? Thank you and more power!
Thank you! The risk of hypoglycemia is one of the main reasons why we don't go to insulin right away. But also are the cardiovascular and kidney benefits that certain other medication offer. Insulin reduces the glucose, but can cause weight gain in addition to hypoglycemia and doesn't offer specific cardiovascular or kidney risk reduction.
@@sugarhighchannel I thought that the more you take meds the higher the risk of kidney damage later. Thanks for your reply
@@monetpiedad7611 not necessarily. In fact, certain medications have been proven to have a protective effect on the kidneys.
@@sugarhighchannel thank you. What certain diabetic medications have some of that effects on kidneys? I am taking Telmisartan for my hypertension and it has helped reduce the albumin/protein in my urine from +4 to +2 now.
@@sugarhighchannel Congratulations on your baby, time flies! She is so calm and beautiful.
If I wait to long to eat, maybe not hungry or fasting then when I do I have a funny feeling in my chest and get sleepy. Plus may make my heart skip beats for a little while. This hypoglycemia
That's what am feeling recently
So, what if you normally run 120 to 130, you eat and it does not go up? It stays the same or may even drop to 100, but never below 98?
So does this mean I have hypoglycemia after drinking juice my heart calms down I had an episode a few months ago where it was the opposite it was 211 my glucose had to to the emergency room they gave me insulin but now 3 days in a row I can’t sleep cause I have palpitations and fast heart beat irrability, headache and once I drink orange juice it gets better just crazy how you can go from such an extreme high to now a low and both are bad
So on a day when my level of physical exertion is going to be high I 'could' (as an example) have pancakes with syrup for breakfast and perhaps a few Jelly Beans later if/when feeling lightheaded?
These are the days when I have these 'bouts' of lightheadedness from greatly raised physical exertion and develop a 100% certain feeling that I'll faint if I don't sit down. This has happened to me about 3 times now and I have a strong feeling after doing a ton of research that I may well be suffering with the onset of Hypoglycemia. I also find that should I talk after sitting down 'post hypo' that the feeling that I could faint are present as well. I virtually have to stop talking and just sit down for a good 30 minutes and relax until I'm feeling better. My balance is also affected. I am slightly overweight but not obese by any means. My sugar intake has greatly reduced to near nil as am dieting and happy to say losing weight.
I have had blood tests recently (basic check up type) and no mention of Diabetes was made. Maybe I should get some of these Glucose tablets...
and perhaps there are self test kits to measure G' levels? Very informative upload. Thanks for your efforts... have to say, super cute baby in the background too!
Apologies if my questions have been answered in your other uploads and for the longish' post. Late here on the other side of the world, must stop researching now! Need to hit the hay!
Will keenly await a few answers/suggestions. TIA. :o) PS. Sure hope you'll advocate the occasional/rare pancake with syrup breakfast! Only on 3 or 4 high exertion days/month...
no intention of abusing/gaining weight back that's for sure! Regards. Omni'.
😊😊
Ughs.. I have both was dx with hypoglycemic at 12ish.. but most of my new doctors in the past think I was Misdiagnosed. All I know is I just watch my glucose for every meal
Did he just say your brain can’t run on fat or protein? Ketones have entered the chat.
Have you heard of insulinoma? It’s a type of tumor on pancreas which produces insulin non stop. Can you advice me what to eat to put up with the insulin please?
In Canada I have been prescribed a drug called Xigduo it is a combination of Metformin and dapaglifozon. I would be interested in your thoughts on it.
Check Dr Berg. Metformin depleted B1, intermittent fasting snd keto. Avoid sugar stop worry broke cycle not more sugar
Thank you 🎉
where is your video about hypoglycemia unawareness? cant find it
Thx... Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I recently have had a bout of low blood sugars that dipped into the the low 40s. I am going to be tested next week with a 2 hour glucose test. I am also a bariactric patient. I had vsg 4 years ago. What is worse reactive or non reactive hypoglycemia? What do I do? How do I eat? I am used to having a low carb diet. I’m scared to eat carbs and eat several times a day. I don’t want to regain weight.😭
I’m on therapeutic low carb lifestyle and only allow a max of 20 total not net carbs a day. I am type 1 diabetic. I rarely have symptoms of low BGs until in the 30’s. I do not treat with carbs. I treat with protein (chicken drumstick is my fav and I keep some in refrig since I don’t mind cold chicken) but it does take more time to recover from symptoms. Your liver will convert protein to glucose. I have had to treat with carbs only twice in past 14 months but since my body functons on ketones not glucose, when I treat I only consume 6 carbs not 15. And recheck BG 15-30 min later. I don’t like glucose tabs so I keep Sweet Tarts in a old prescription containers (bedside, kitchen & car glovebox). I buy half price after holidays if needed. Only eat 3-4. Has your doc done HgbA1c and c-peptide? You could be Diabetic 1.5 aka LADA that has not been diagnosed. Can’t believe doctors are still doing glucose tolerance tests. Best of luck!!!
Is it right that Stress (emotional or physical), Panic disorder can lower blood sugar?
I currently got diagnosed as what there calling prediabetes. Here is my question. My a1c is between 5.8-6.0 and I tested positive. My blood sugar has not gone over 200 in the last couple months but keeps going low. There telling me to have 75 grams of carbs per meal and 15-30 for snacks. But here is the thing.... I've stayed away from all fast food, pops ect.. and my sugar spikes to 170s and than 20-30 mins later I'm dropping suddenly. There saying I could be type 1 or 2 but my sugar high is not the problem... It's dropping low not rising.. what could be going on and causing this?? It's very frustrating.
I have a low blood sugar and afraid of eating fats because i have a high blood.it is ok to eat fats?
My fasting insulin is 8 should I be worried?
Thank you when my suger low my heart does want to race of.
Hi SUGAR HIGH
Is it right that Stress (emotional or physical), Panic disorder can lower blood sugar?
Yes I need answers on this too because I feel the same way holy cow!!!! Thank you for making me feel normal again.
aint gonna lie the 15/15 rule goes out the window when i have a serve drop after taking insuilin and I've seemed to absorb that in the space of 20mins this is called,eat everything insight stage! :)))))))))
Great info...cute doctor
What if the sugar level is not low like a 150 and still experiencing the same symptoms?
I am not diabetic, but I do have hypoglycemia. It's called Nondiabetic Hypoglycemia.
Thanks
what if I live alone and do not have Dexcom? my insurance will not cover it......
Your baby girl is so beautiful 💜
why insurance and doctor wont give me glucagon? should I ask my doctor
Beautiful baby!!! Woww
Thank you so much for sharing this but , Can you explain to me why ACE , ARBs inhibitors and longer duration of diabetes and older age are risk for hypoglycemia?
And
Thank you so much again 🙏🏻
Do you have to Be Diabetic the Hypoglycemia Episode
While on Metformin ER I had 2 hypo events. SCARY!!! Dr wants to put me on Ozempic because she says it wont give me low blood sugar. Do you agree?
Like I mentioned in the video, ANY diabetes medication CAN cause low blood sugar. With Ozempic though, it’s extraordinarily rare. So rare that it’s actually being tested in non-diabetic people to help them lose weight. If people without high blood glucose (in other words people without diabetes) can take it with minimal risk of hypoglycemia, that kinda puts some perspective on the safety of Ozempic (and other medications in that family).
@@sugarhighchannel Thank you! Due to fear, I have been off meds since then and my sugar is high. With your your review I feel much safer trying it. Thank you and thank you for your videos!
Can low b.s. effect behavior?
Today i had an episode. I ate a sandwich at 2pm by 9 i was having an what felt like an anxiety attack. Im a recovering alcoholic but i have been sober for 8 years. Does this sould like sugar to you?
what a cute baby.
I have developed hypoglycemia n awareness- so I cant tell if Im high or low...--what do I do? my Doc wont take this seriously
sometimes it not low blood sugar but to high of insulin.
Can stress lower blood sugar?
Yess Stress can reduce blood sugar and lower blood sugar cause Anxiety
@@alokmohanty8248 Thank you
Glucose is crucial for the brain but it's NOT the only "fuel" for it! There's a difference!
I hate low blood sugar 😒
You changed from a Strat to a les Paul on the wall ;)
What if low blood sugar just happens naturally with any diabetic medicine at all. It happened to me after i caught covid and now im a covd long hauler (sad face) 😞
2:51 "Your brain cannot run on fat or proteion" What? ketones question mark question mark
Thank you so much for sharing you experience, in hypoglycemia you can also try Ashwagandha capsules from Planet Ayurveda it helps in normalise the blood sugar.
Awww she's cute!
the brain can run much better on Ketones than on glucose
❤cute baby
So no part of the brain runs on ketones? Every part of the brain uses only glucose?
It does. I botched that line and forgot to mention that ketones are a viable backup source. I was trying to make the point that dietary proteins and fats aren’t directly usable by the brain and I made an embarrassing omission.
That baby on a granite countertop worries me! She could fall over and hit her head. Yikes
I get rapid heart beat at 95----after 10 yrs of t2..... 3 yrs of hypoglycemia un awareness
Ur looking soo cute❤😊
Cute baby
Your information is factually and principally incorrect. The brain can and does run on ketones. It doesn’t need glucose. In fact ketones are better utilized. How do I know? Because I am on keto.
I blackth out driving my van got into a accident very dcary
