[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2223948, member: 365308"] Last question: Sugar burners have an energy crash because they burn kindling (carbs) mostly rather than logs (fat supplies). Your brain will regulate your activity levels when it perceives a fuel issue. If you are metabolically compromised and tend to store carbs as fuel very easily your brain cannot see your hidden energy supplies so you are hungry and craving sweets and then exhausted when the fuel supply stops. And yes a dip in blood sugar for me as type 1 definitely leads to sleepiness and a relcutance to move/think! Preceded by panic and irritability! [/QUOTE]
