Today we’re going to talk about reactive hypoglycemia. What is reactive hypoglycemia, and what can be done about it?

You have blood sugars that are tightly controlled.

• Insulin tries to reduce blood sugar.

• Other hormones release stored sugar, putting it back into the blood to make sure the blood sugars don’t go too low.

You don’t want your blood sugar levels to be too high. But, you also don’t want your blood sugar levels to be too low. Your body is trying to stabilize that sugar.

Symptoms of low blood sugar:

• Fatigue

• Brain fog

• Dizziness

• Craving sweets

• Blurred vision

• Irritability

• Coma

Reactive Hypoglycemia causes:

• An overreaction of high amounts of insulin that’s pushing the blood sugars down with too much force.

0:29.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I had another question from someone that wanted to know about what is reactive
0:48.5	hypoglycemia and what could be done about it. I've done other videos
0:52.2	in hypoglycemia but not necessarily
0:54.2	reactive hypoglycemia. So let me just explain what it is. Postprandial hypoglycemia means after a meal and it could happen immediately to four hours later, okay, where you have
1:07.3	this drop in blood sugars.
1:10.0	After you consumed a high carbohydrate meal, you ended up with low blood sugars. Now to keep this really simple you have
1:18.4	blood sugars that are tightly controlled. So the sugar in the blood after the meal occurs,
1:25.4	and there's two sets of hormones involved.
1:27.0	One hormone, insulin, is trying to reduce the sugar,
1:30.8	okay?
1:32.2	And then there's other hormones that are releasing stored
1:35.3	sugar that are putting the sugar back into the blood to ensure that the blood
1:40.6	sugars don't go too low. Okay, so we don't want sugars that are too high
1:45.0	and we don't want sugar that's too low.
1:47.0	Because some of the symptoms, if there's too low, would be tired, brain fog,
1:52.0	dizzy, cr sweets, blurred vision, irritable, and if it goes even too
1:58.2	low you can actually be in a coma.
2:00.3	So the body is trying to stabilize that sugar.
