I have a friend whose mother suffers from hypoglycemia and she suffers the same ill effects as it how 1 diabetics commonly experience.
I'm guessing reactive hypoglycaemia? That's caused by the body overproducing insulin in response to meals; it's also believed to be a common prologue to T2D since it "trains" the body to be less sensitive to the (over)produced insulin.
No surprise that hypoglycaemia resulting from an excess of insulin is similar to hypoglycaemia resulting from an excess of insulin!
You know, I didn’t find it that surprising either.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to tell me about these edge cases of hypoglycemia. I feel like I did a reasonable job describing how it works for individuals on insulin therapy.
I have not found much in medical literature that says hypoglycemia is anything other than abnormal and dangerous condition that should be treated immediately.
This study starts out with the lines, for example, “Among otherwise healthy adults, there is a subgroup of individuals who develop symptoms of hypoglycemia during episodes of food restriction.”
That’s certainly interesting since I thought the symptoms resulted from a basic lack of energy for cells. What’s the difference? Can you point to where I can learn more about that?
