While everyone focuses on diabetes, there's another dangerous condition flying under the radar: HYPOGLYCEMIA.
Low blood sugar can be just as detrimental as diabetes, but doctors completely ignore it.
π The 3 Types You Need to Know:
PATHOLOGICAL: Fasting blood sugar below 65 mg/dL (this is the only one doctors care about)
FUNCTIONAL: Fasting morning glucose below 85 mg/dL (where many people live but get zero help)
REACTIVE: Blood work looks "normal" but you crash HARD within 4 hours after eating
π Why You Wake Up at 2am: Your blood sugar drops β Your body pumps out cortisol β This stress response ruins your sleep
π« The Medical Problem:
- You have ALL the symptoms
- Doctors run "normal" blood work
- You get sent home with no answers
- You continue to suffer
β οΈ The Reality Check: If you're getting up in the middle of the night, crash after meals, or feel shaky and brain-fogged between meals - your blood sugar regulation might be broken.
This affects more people than you think, and there ARE solutions.
