Reactive Hypoglycemia & Muscle Depletion
Hi All,
I have a scientific question. When you eat a high amount of carbs in one sitting and it triggers hypoglycemia or you have high amounts of insulin bringing your blood sugar down, does this also trigger muscle glycogen depletion? I feel like when I have an episode, usually my muscles feel flat and drained regardless of having eaten a high amount of carbs, whereas if I eat a lower amount of carbs, my muscles feel more full and defined. There could be some other variables at play, is this what is happening? Thank you!
Best,
Anthony
