It’s true for some people, if they haven’t had something to eat, they get grouchy and are easily irritated by others. Is this due to low blood sugar, or is something else causing the outbursts?

Sometimes all of a sudden i will get really nauseous, sweaty, and dizzy, i turn very pale,and I have to sit down right away and have something to eat otherwise i feel like i will black out. I have been told that because diabetes runs in my family that i have low blood sugar or diabetes.Does this sound like low blood sugar? If I have low blood sugar does that mean i also have diabetes?

When do YOU personally start noticing symptoms of low blood sugar?
What number did your doctor tell you to eat something? I want to compare some of what my doctor said to others just to be sure.

If you’re about to tell me that insulin stores glucose in fat and muscle, anything about the Glycemic Index, etc then you’re wasting time. I know that already.

I want an INTENSELY CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY based answer to how specifically lowered blood sugar levels will motivate the body chemically to favor adipose tissue metabolism. Specifically, the question comes from cinnamon – I’d always assumed that since it was an insulin ’substitute’ that it would somehow be recognized by the receptors in the GI tract and tell the pancreas to lay off with insulin production, thus less glucose would be stored on a meal without cinnamon, but thinking of it that’s really just called insulin insensitivity so that was a retarded idea arising from lack of thought on the matter.

So if you still have all the insulin the meal would normally give, and you’ve stored more glucose in muscles and liver and fat, um… how’s that help you lose weight? Shit I’m outta room, read extra below….
Fat weight, of course (not muscle mass!)

Only thing I can figure is that it makes you store stuff, which burns more calories than you ate after it’s broken down again. Like, ok, insulin tells -> store! And the cells are like, ok; and active transports use energy to do the storage and atoms are bound and stuff happens so that while you ate and had in you 100 calories here, you really only end up storing a net of 85 in the end. Then your body says crap, low blood sugar – has to break down with glucogen taking more energy and tadah, you’ve burned more.

But usually since insulin is there it acts antagonistically with burning fat so lean muscle would be catabolized a lot then. SO that sounds bad for anyone who wants to be muscle large – this would only be good for women wanting to be stick thin.

Plus, while we’re at it, we get tired when blood sugar’s low yes? Why SPECIFICALLY? Are there receptors say in our pinkey toes that say to conserve energy, sugar’s low? DETAILS!?

Thanks!

Every morning I feel really nauseous for about an hour, and then I feel extremely hungry. I am not pregnant. Could this be from low blood sugar? Or does it sound like something else?

I have low blood sugar and I was wondering if that could ever, possibly turn into diabetes. 4 or 5 sources said yes, and 1 or 2 said no. Just want to clear things up!

I think, I am adapting to low blood sugar. My blood sugar is at 50 right now, and I don’t fill a thing. In fact I fill like i could run a marathon. Is it possible to adapt to low blood sugar? If so is this unhealthy since I’ve adapted?

Over the past few month iv had some symtoms of low blood sugar so the other day i took my sugar….cuse my moms a diabetic and it was 74…Is that normal

okay. i have been feeling horrible for a while so my doc ordered some blood tests. he got the results back the other day and it showed i have very low blood sugar . so he wants to do another test called hemoglobin a1c. now i looked this up and its a test for diabetes? which i am confused because i have been tested for diabetes before and do not have it. does he suspect i have it now? or is this test also for low blood sugar as well?

and i thought why some diabetics get low blood sugar was because of their medicines .

I’m 15 and I have hypoglycemia, meaning low blood sugar. I checked my blood sugar and it was 60, is that in the normal range?
