[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2204706, member: 420515"] I think you probably can train your brain so you have some functionality at low blood glucose. I doubt you could train it to full functionality - try doing some calculus with a low bg sometime. My real problem with this is, how do you know that, while you are merrily marching away at lower than recommended levels, that there aren't thousands of brain cells curling up and dying on you. It's not like you hit a certain level and the brain flicks the off switch. For evolutionary survival reasons it's unlikely that the first brain cells to die would be the ones helping you function. Functioning on low bg - possibly useful, but unnecessary. Alive, undamaged brain cells - is this even a choice? Edit: Oops, I assumed the OP was training his brain to run low on purpose. If that's not the case, then I'm really sorry for what I was thinking about you. [/QUOTE]
