Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lamont D" data-source="post: 2535895" data-attributes="member: 85785">Many Many people including children have lower than normal blood glucose levels and are not hypoglycaemic.It may be the odd occasion or because of illness, stress or such. It may be due to an intolerance or meds.It could be a pancreatic condition or a hormonal response, or your metabolism, or even your gut bacterium.So, the actual cause can be elusive. And people have sugar crashes at certain times and again not be hypoglycaemic.There are many forms of types of hypoglycaemia, not just reactive hypoglycaemia and it takes a series of diagnostic tests to get a true diagnosis.I don't suffer hypos because I don't eat what triggers my hypoglycaemia.Insulin is important to your body, because of the interaction with the carbs the majority of people need to get energy.Glucose is important for the likes of brain function and consistent energy levels and in most people, the liver will provide the extra glucose needed it your energy levels drop or your blood sugar levels drop. When there is too much insulin produced, the side effects of a typical hyper will happen and continuous high levels of glucose (hyperglycaemia) or insulin (hyperinsulinimia) will effect the hormonal imbalance after food. The build up of higher levels of insulin and it's lack of effectiveness over time, will result in insulin resistance and high circulating insulin levels. The symptoms exacerbate and the hormonal response imbalance will increase.The first phase insulin response has a huge bearing on spikes, meds and treatment, the variation in how low carb diet works depends on your intolerance to certain carbs and the make up of your meals. Dietary balance tailored to your individual requirements are essential to treatment.The difference between the majority of T2 diabetes and hypoglycaemic conditions is how much insulin is produced to cope with dietary intake.As with most conditions that fall under the endocrine umbrella, it is not black and white or straightforward. Causes are very many, and the treatments are varied and diverse. There is never one answer, just a logical step in getting back control of your health.</blockquote>
