Do You Have Undiagnosed Hypoglycemia? by Cynthia Perkins, M.Ed.

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can berepparttar 115258 culprit of many physical and psychological symptoms. It’s a very common occurrence in our society and often goes undiagnosed. It can mimic most every medical condition and is often misdiagnosed or labeled as hypochondriasis. Hypoglycemia is when your blood glucose levels drop too low and your body and brain can’t function properly. The brain is very sensitive torepparttar 115259 levels of blood sugar and needs glucose to function adequately. It is fuel forrepparttar 115260 brain. The brain doesn’t haverepparttar 115261 ability to store glucose so it needs a continuous supply fromrepparttar 115262 blood. It extracts it fromrepparttar 115263 blood as it does oxygen. Ifrepparttar 115264 brain does not have enough oxygen or glucose it can go into a coma.
