Glucose Crashes and Hypoglycemia-WITHOUT DIABETES Explained: Here are the Causes and How to Avoid It 

I am non diabetic and If I don't eat in the morning and or eat low sugar diet results in an episode and its scary the episodes that I have had I needed help.

Whenever I take take my blood, it's in the normal range but yet I know it's my blood sugar because of the symptoms and the fluctuations on how I feel that occur when I eat/don't eat or bad carb intake. It's so frustrating. Anyone else have this going on? I'm constantly exhausted, dizzy, confused, blurry vision depressed mood, unrefreshed sleep. I eat pretty good, so I'm thinking one of the processes that control this sugar thing is out of whack.

I was measuring my mom's blood sugar. Randomly checked mine and found out I am at 25 mg/dl. Been having tingling sensation on the tip of my tongue for several days and today found out that it happens when you have low blood sugar.

what a great explanation of the stress hypo link.... totally got it the way you explained it.. thanks

this was actually really nice, thanks for the info!!

Thank u so much for this video. I finally have an explanation for what I’ve been feeling…. This is life changing thank you so much.

Mine happens when I’m fasting, drinking alcohol or exercising. I just found out I have hypoglycemia. I’ve been w/in range for years. But recently started having symptoms that I thought were “in my head” or related to anxiety. Found out I’ve been dangerously low at times.

Well, I Must say, what a beautiful and calm way of explaining and certainly very beautiful name you have.

Yeah, cutting out sugar and carbs all together with aerobics is just a recipe for disaster. People say sugar is all bad. And exercise more, More, MORE! My body says: NO WAY! I need that 1tsp sugar a day in my morning coffee and I rather go walking for exercise. That way I don't get non diabetic hypoglycemia.

Do you have a video about blood sugar dropping TOO FAST?

I experienced this today I believe. I ate a large chocolate muffin and some beers within the same time frame and a few hours later at a restaurant I felt horrible. Dizzy , shaky, clammy and anxious. I ate and took a nap and feel much better. Definitely a wake up call for me

This was a great video! It hard to find videos about non diabetic hypoglycaemia!!! It’s all very confusing

What are the long term consequences of hypoglycaemia and low blood sugar? I get it from time to time, especially when I skip breakfast. I star to feel nauseous, lightheaded, my hands sweat and I’m often on the verge of passing out. On top of it, I get heart pain from time to time, I wonder if it’s connected to low blood sugar as well.

I was diagnosed in an ER while I had mono. Both almost killed me. My bs was in the 40s. I passed out when they took blood and then a bunch of other tests were run. That was nearly 10 years ago. I was never told to monitor anything, but i had a really crap dr from Kaiser who thought i wss diabetic as well as that my mono was cancer. Almost didd because of the misdiagnosis. So glad i got a second opinion all around and that dr took preventive measures just in case he was right. Saved my life. Regardless, although I've found what does trigger me, sometimes it happens randomly. Cereal is a trigger, and french toast without anything alongside it (no matter the time) will cause my bs to drop in a few hours. I used to carry reeses cups in my purse because peanut butter snaps me right out, but now I carry protien packed fig bars. We don't exactly know what triggered the hypoglycemia to start with, but i chalk it up to being starved for 5 years, because that can really mess up your system. I used to pass on out a daily because i wasnt getting enough food to sustain me. I havent passed out in years, but I've come close. Sometimes the attacks come quickly, sometimes it's slow and i can catch them before they really do a number. As long as i eat meals within a certain time span of the other, i really haven't had too much of an issue. Oh, and alcohol? Yeah, i dont drink a lot at all. Learned early that getting buzzed feels like I'm having an attack, so nope! I also get instant hangovers if i do get to the buzzed stage, so that's just not fun. Where exercise is concerned, i learned to eat before i start and snack after. That change helped a lot in reducing attacks. I also don't overdo it and work out to where my heart is pounding and i can't breathe. Good luck out there for everyone with this. It's not fun, but mske sure you pay attention to what your body is telling you. You could have one version, or a combination of the two, like me. But mostly, get a dr that will run the right tests and help you understand what's going on. I was in my 20s when mine was diagnosed, but probably had it in my teens, so you can get it early. Don't ignore it when you get the shakes, dizziness, sweating, insane hunger, headache, fast heartbeat and tunnel vision. It can be extremely dangerous

I have a background in sports and fitness. Im an acoholic and spent the last 3 days drinking and not eating. I had a huge meal of mashed potato and meatballs earlier and thought I bet im gona crash big time in a little while. I did. all my energy drained from my body, I couldnt move, I felt like my blood wasnt circulating. I quickly munched some chocolate cos thats what I was craving. feeling better now. your video confirmed my suspicions and I think it was spontaneous hypoglycaemia caused by my reckless lifestyle.

Mine has been at 40mg for 2 days now. I did not start feeling it until an hour ago.

I'm an extreme calisthenics athlete who spent the last five years eating as much and whatever I want. Although that fueled me I also got a bit chunky. Now I'm getting rid of the chunk factor. After eating a small amount of fish and broccoli for dinner instead of a huge plate of comfort food and dessert, I certainly feel the symptoms described.

Mine happen at work felt shakey an dizzy almost throw up or passed out

Im not diabetic but my blood glucose level is 90 after 2 hours of fasting. Is it low or normal?

thanks for this i recently went on a 2000 calorie diet with a phone app, all was well and was feeling good until one day i did not have a breakfast, well an hour later i almost passed out, had a glass of orange juice handed to me and was back to normal in like 5 mins, it was very scary, never had anything like that happen to me before, gots to watch your sugar when dieting

I get tremors, palpitations, and brain fog if I go more than around 4 hours without eating. But one time I ate food and it didn’t go away instantly. Maybe it’s not low blood sugar? I don’t eat any sugar at all and I’m very low carb low calorie. Could be low electrolytes or low cortisol raising my insulin? I have had symptoms of low cortisol as well like my area around adrenals hurt when I’m stressed. Vitamin c foods make me feel very light and floaty (in a good sense). Does taking vitamin d affect this?

I don't diagnose myself with anything I woke up with low blood sugar and had to put a few sugars in my tea sat down for ten minutes or so then it was okay

I don't eat carbs at all. My fasting blood sugar is around 100 however as soon as I start eating it will go down to 80 in 10 minutes just like that and it will stay like that for up to 6 hours, then it goes back up. I cannot fast more than 20 hours. I also tried to eat small amount of food but it does not work either. So I am not sure what i need to do. BG level of 80 but it's worrysome.

My first sign was it took up to 2 hours for my pupils to respond to change in light intensity. My average glucose levels was 3.0 mmol/L, but the doctors did not seem to take that seriously, but did put me on a 6 meal a day diet. What happened over the next 8 years, well let's just say I can inform you very well of the details of dementia, the level for instance where if someone placed 3 pills in your hand, there were now too many for you to be able to identify the quantity. And of course other little things like having periods of no short term memory at all, and no longer even knowing how to spell your brothers name, etc. Another 8 years was required to recover and relearn, although I never did relearn how to write, other than write my signature.

When I be down and stand up my head rushes gives me anxiety and I know it because I’m hungry but don’t have the energy to cook anything good ! I need to change my life

The only symptom I seem to get is after having say a big bowl of oatmeal that has brown sugar and dried fruit in it after a couple of hours I’ll experience this dramatic shift in my energy levels and feel extremely tired, weak and want to sleep for hours. I’ll get night sweats and some anxiety but no palpitations. It can take days to recover from too. I have yet to have been diagnosed. What makes matters worse is I also have POTS so my blood pressure is usually not much higher than 98/74 and I’m sure this doesn’t help matters at all.

I often get all these symptoms, my bloodsuger is on the lower side, around 80, and few times it has got lower 75, and once it was 70, never seen it below that, and still I am not sure whether I have anxiety disorder or hypoglycemia? Every doctor tells me that everything is fine, I have GAD, but I am still not convinced... really frustrating.

Being addicted to sugar is difficult - after removing carbs/sugar from your diet you should start to feel better within a week normally. Eating once or twice a day will help - fasting will expedite it further. 🙏

What if the hypoglycemic episode is less than 4.0mmol (such as 3.4) but it is in the context of a low carb high ketone diet. Would there be the same risks associated despite being keto adapted?

hm... I guess my new job is freaking me out far more than I thought. Also I used to be a floaty, my agency would send me all over europe for work and now I have a "forever job" 😱 I was a horse with no name and loved it. Crazy how stability freaks me out.

High amounts of protein can raise insulin too, in fact, mixing high protein and high carb together i think is what skyrockets insulin levels in the first place, which could bring blood sugar levels down too low. Carbs by itself does increase insulin, but not as much when compared to high protein + high carb. The insulin index shows this.

How on earth can a go diagnose HG if it recovers within minutes and the Doc isn’t there. And it might be several weeks before I can get an appointment?

I have post bariatric reactive hypoglycemia……I never knew this though I had symptoms within one year of the gastric bypass…that was 23 years ago. I just got diagnosed after using a continuous glucose monitor to help me lose weight. Thankfully I lost weight by keeping my carbs below 20 grams per day.

What is it called when your dizzy lightheaded and eating fixes it???

I think my friend had a hypoglycemic episode the other day. We were in class and they came in (they were running late) and they sat down and was like "I don't feel well. i feel like i'm about to pass out and i feel tingly". they were completely red in the face and panting really hard. i asked them if they ran to class and if they had anything to eat or drink and they said they ran but didn't eat/drink anything. i got their pulse and their heart was beating really fast, they were shaky and they felt cold and clammy from sweating. we got them some water and a banana and propped their feet up and put a cool compress behind their neck and their symptoms started to stabilize but man it was scary

My mom died from heart disease and diabetes at only 68 years old. Now today my 36 year old brother was admitted to ICU for glucose level of 600. I don’t understand. I’m pretty healthy except I have epilepsy and high blood pressure. 🤷‍♀️ I could use to lose 30 lbs too but wow, I’m worried about my brother. He weighs about 370 lbs. I didn’t know much about diabetes to help my mom at the end. I understand heart disease. Do you have any advice?

If none of these things relate to you maybe look into Idiopathic postprandial syndrome. Doesnt help much but can also be another reason for it so you dont feel crazy

Jeez, she talks so fast I have to slow the speed down, great explanation though. Thank you ❤

I was recently diagnosed with hypocyglmnia and I produce to much insulin I work on a industrial site and passed out on a production floor I took a snack break I ate to fast and chocked in yougert my mom said that you might have low blood sugar so I started tracking my blood sugar a year and a half later my doctor said you have hypocyglmnia you produce to much insulin when eating certain meals

For a long time years in fact i suspected i was diabetic in some form or another but wasnt sure what type (I'm type 2 dietary controlled ..previous post ) so went to the docs after doing an online symptom check printed it out took it to my GP who took blood's to identify for sure what type i was he phoned me saying yes type 2 my self studies were confirmed and I've been able to identify the mild symptoms of a hypo and been able to self treat with carbs exercise and keeping hydrated ..i do drink but socially but when lets say i go to a gig or night out or weekend away i always eat before a drinking session normal guinness or real ales hence avoiding a hypo attack and keeping my insulin levels right

Anyone have a solution for someone having severe hypoglycemia, literally 40 blood glucose levels, even having eaten throughout the day. My mom is struggling horrible. She has Hashimotos. NO DIABETES!!! But almost daily she is falling under 50 blood sugar and it’s getting scary, seems no doctor has an answer.

Very good video. Music is awful though.

My whole family suffers from reactive hypo glosimia we don't have diabetes so I tried the last 20 years so many things but now we will get the result we have tried all over the family member the result is the same we can use. daily 200 milligram of Alpha lapic acid with any multivitamin combination but main thing is that you will take only 200 mg of ala daily and you don't have hypoglossemia

You forgot dehydration

I don’t know what I would have done without your help. Thank you so much for curing my type 2 Diabetes with your herbs Dr Igudia.

I have lived my whole life with this. Not 1 doctor has diagnosed it.. I have just learned how to control it. I am basically Keto. I don't eat hardly any carbs except veggies and berries. It makes me feel very ill and takes hours for me to get back to normal. Alcohol, especially wine will trigger it. I am 71 now and very tired of doctors and how they diagnose and prescribe. Now that I n

Great video but you fucked it putting music over the top.

If the liver will always produce the necessary amount of glucose, im finding it difficult to understand how hypoglycemia can really be a thing. Especially with all the stored sugar we are all carrying

I have reactive hypoglycemia and made a video about it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y-hc1X7OGRo.htmlsi=VYUUn8RXFOc5xzuK I found out that I am sensitive to grains. A low to moderate carb diet has really helped me.

Can this occur tottally alone ? With no explanation??? Lol

You have really pretty and unique teeth. Lol. I do not consider that weird as I notice shapes of teeth and stuff look cooler to me than just straight all perfect lined teeth. Pointy canines are cool lol. [not vampires however] NOT COOL. SUCKING BLOOD NOT COOL.

Don't talk about it until you've had it... You're full of crap until you do... Fiad

Very bad tree pose 😂

Shut up and let me eat breakfast in peace! If I don’t eat on time I will crash and become irritable. I have to eat on time. You want my brain to work properly or not? If my brain dosent work properly because of irregular meal times you’re the one who is going to suffer you know
