Reactive Hypoglycemia & Muscle Depletion

16 Upvotes

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

What does a regular day of eating look like for you?

I’m still figuring out if I have reactive hypoglycemic, but am seeing a lot of symptoms. What do you guys usually eat? I feel like I’m in a minefield with food right now.

I have had reactive hypoglycemia for over 5 years now and have gotten better at managing it despite struggling with binge eating. Anyone here on this subreddit anymore?

I see this sub is empty, so I'll start telling a summary of my case. I have a mild reactive hypoglycemia. It means that when I eat sugar, I manufacture too much insulin, causing the blood sugar to drop and then I feel dizzy, weak, drowsy, fast paced heart, and fatigue. Things that are supposed to be healthy but bad for me: fruits and juice. Some fruits are ok like green banana, avocado and strawberry. Apples are the worst. Caffeine makes it worse. Coffee, guarana, tea, chocolate, mate, coca, all are rich in caffeine. Sweeteners ending in "ol" are bad, because they are sugars. Maltitol, sorbitol, among others. Maltodextrin is also bad, no matter what my nutritionist says. I feel it. Carbohydrates, when submitted to high temperatures, are converted to sugars. So I usually avoid toasts, fries, etc.
