When hypoglycemia occurs, the body will have a feeling of life and death. People are most afraid of Alzheimer's disease. Oh, so it's brain damage. There must be dessert in the meal, right? And it's fragrant rice. Welcome to her health. I'm Dani. The problem of hypoglycemia is often encircled by friends with diabetes. But have you noticed that if you don't have diabetes and you don't take any drugs related to hypoglycemia, and you just finished eating, then suddenly you feel so hungry and want to grab something to eat. Even your hands will shake, and your whole body will be weak, and your emotions will be very low. What should we do at this time? We invited a nutritionist who specializes in functional medicine today. Lucy came to the show to share with us hypoglycemia. Hello, Lucy. Hello, Dani. I saw a lot of articles about hypoglycemia in your blog. And you yourself also have this symptom. Yes. And you've been studying it. Can you share with us what kind of symptom it is? And what kind of discomfort the body will have? The most different thing between hypoglycemia and hunger is that hypoglycemia is unbearable. And it will feel very painful. So it's a feeling that you can't control with reason and willpower. So we can actually bear We can eat later. We can wait. But when hypoglycemia occurs, it's easy to get angry. Because you're so hungry that your body can't take it anymore. So that is... Many foreign studies say it's more like a neurological symptom. It's related to the transmission of our nervous system. Yes, it's obvious that you will have some brain symptoms. So it will be anxious and angry with us. Because when we have hypoglycemia, the body will have a feeling of the edge of life and death. It's very serious. Yes, so there will be a feeling of collapse. It will feel very abnormal. Yes, the general feeling that everyone knows is dizziness, shaking hands, weak limbs, this kind of feeling of fatigue. This is more normal And then it may need to eat a lot of food. It's not the same as the general feeling of hunger. The general feeling of hunger is that we can eat slowly and finish a meal. But hypoglycemia is that you have to eat a bag of potato chips and a bag of chocolate right away. You have to eat like crazy. So as long as it absorbs heat, it doesn't have to be sugar. It usually has to be very sweet to have the feeling of hypoglycemia. Sometimes I just want to eat a little healthier salty food first. For example, rice and vegetables. But hypoglycemia still can't come up. So I have to eat something sweet to make it come up quickly. Otherwise it will be very, very uncomfortable. So there must be dessert in your meal, right? And it's the opposite. We'll talk about it later. OK, so special. Because you want to say that hypoglycemia rises, shouldn't there be some high-sugar foods to support it? So it's not, right? So what we have to do is actually prevent hypoglycemia. So if we have this kind of repetitive hypoglycemia, for example, like you said, you may have to eat something that can pull up the blood sugar. Will this cause the body to maintain a bad frequency? Will it have any bad effects on the body? That's right. This question is very good. Because many people think that hypoglycemia is just eating some candy or fruit candy to pull up the blood sugar. But in fact, before hypoglycemia occurs, we will have a high blood sugar first, and then a low blood sugar. Now many studies have pointed out that such high blood sugar is very harmful to our brain. Higher and lower. Yes, so it's not just diabetes, but people with low blood sugar will experience hypoglycemia. So this is harmful to the body? Very harmful. Especially now we are most afraid of Alzheimer's disease. So it's harmful to the brain. Yes, it's harmful to the brain. It's the lack of body's endocrine to cause hypoglycemia. There is no way to have a stable ups and downs. So high and low like this, our brain will be easily damaged. Because our brain needs to continue the supply of glucose, we can think carefully and control our emotions. Yes, so I specially prepared this today. I was wondering if you need it. So this may not be a need. Yes, sugar is when you have hypoglycemia, we have to quickly make up for it. But in the long run, in order to maintain the health of our brain, we have to prevent hypoglycemia. So what's the reason behind it? Is it a neurological defect? This is also a long story. In fact, I really did a lot of research. There may be more research abroad that will even study endocrine disease. That is to say, some antibodies attack our livers. It's a bit like the concept of red blood cells. Yes, it's a very famous concept. It causes the unstable secretion of our insulin or glycemic index. But there is no clear evidence or we have no way to test it. But what we know so far is that for decades, there has been medical research on this. So it is officially called reactive low-blood sugar in our medical school. Reactive low-blood sugar. Yes, its characteristic is that it must have a high blood sugar to have a low blood sugar. So it's the rapid rise of blood sugar. When the insulin rushes out, the blood sugar drops. But in the process of dropping, healthy people will have a high blood sugar to hold it and let it come back. But people with low blood sugar will fall all the way down. They can't come back and cause brain symptoms. So how did you find you have this symptom? Because since I was a child, from my grandmother and my grandfather to my mother, all have low blood sugar. So does this also have a genetic factor? Yes, yes. I found that it's a bit family-oriented. And it's quite interesting that my grandmother is a diabetes patient, and my grandfather is a low-blood sugar patient. So when I was very young, I heard that my grandmother couldn't eat sugar, but my grandfather had to eat sugar. So when I was in elementary school, my mother would help me bring a small portion of ice cream like this and put it in my schoolbag. Replenish at any time. Yes, sometimes in the afternoon, I would secretly put some biscuits in my mouth in the middle of class. Because I knew I wasn't in a good condition. Then I want to ask, actually I just finished eating that hamburger. But when I finished eating the hamburger, I didn't feel full. Then when I was there, I suddenly found that I seemed to be a little dizzy. Then I told them, I want to eat this. Then I didn't get better immediately after eating it. But I just felt a little better, not so dizzy. So is this also a symptom of low blood sugar? Maybe. Recently, there is a popular one called CGM. 24-hour continuous blood sugar monitoring. It can monitor blood sugar changes for two weeks. Just carry it, right? Yes, now many of our medical staff and nutritionists are doing this test. With this kind of wearable equipment, we may be able to subvert our past perception of blood sugar control. Because last year when I was wearing it and testing it, I found that the reason for my high blood sugar is high-oil food. It can also find out what food you are causing. Yes, not high-starch food. Because our traditional nutritionists all think that high-starch food will cause high blood sugar. But I tested it myself last year and found that it was high-oil food that caused my high blood sugar. So everyone is different. Yes, so now many of our nutritionists are cooperating with patients in an interesting way to help them find out which starch is suitable for them to eat and which starch is not suitable for them to eat. There is a difference. Yes, many diabetes patients may not be able to eat sweet potatoes, but they can eat potatoes. That's great. Yes, so this is where we will have more and more evidence to study low-blood sugar. That's great. If you have a little symptom like me, I think you can also test it to know more about yourself. But I want to ask, like you said, low-responsive blood sugar needs a little food to strengthen its blood sugar. Will this cause it to suddenly eat these things suddenly eat and not eat and cause damage to the whole function? Yes, a friend of this quality asked me before a similar question. He asked me if I would become a diabetes patient in the future. I think it is very possible. If we don't know our own body, and we eat a lot every day, but we are hungry all of a sudden, and it keeps happening repeatedly, maybe eat a fried chicken at noon, drink steamed milk in the afternoon, eat fried rice in the evening, and get hungry at night, keep eating something that is not suitable for the body, it is possible to become a diabetes patient. This is actually quite serious. How to help him solve it? What kind of food should you eat? Or help him plan his diet. The term low-responsive blood sugar is now rarely known by medical staff in hospitals. That's why I want to mention this thing in particular. But this term has been around since 20 years ago. When you were a student? Yes, I learned this thing. This is in our nutrition school. In general, our nutrition school recommends everyone to eat balanced diet. Eat starch, meat, vegetables. But only those who are diabetic and low-blood sugar need to eat high-protein and low-starch diet. Because this type of person's blood sugar is relatively unstable. Protein and fat can make his insulin level rise not so fast, and the decline is not so fast. It is this principle. Just don't let him explode, right? Yes, it's possible that he is naturally diabetic and low-blood sugar. So we rely on the change of diet to make his blood sugar stable and his energy stable. So this is different from our usual concept. If it's like me, I might know that after eating, I feel like I want to eat something sweet to feel happy. Then there might be a similar risk of low-blood sugar. Is there any other characteristics that can remind you to pay attention to it? If we have this characteristic, we can do a test like this. The typical case of low-blood sugar is if you only eat starch at noon. For example, many of us will only eat a sweet potato. Just eat a dry noodle with a little side dish. Just like this. Then it may appear in 90 minutes to two hours. Shivering, dizziness. Even some people don't have any physiological symptoms. They just feel depressed. They can't concentrate. They want to eat something sweet. This is very likely to be a low-blood sugar. I usually suggest everyone to adjust their diet first. Try to eat the amount of protein in your palm for every meal. Try to adjust like this first to see if the overall situation has improved. If it still can't be improved, I still suggest you to seek the help of a nutritionist. It will make your mood, energy, and brain function more healthy. So you will suggest them that if there is a low-blood sugar like this, how to adjust in life? You just said a palm of protein. Is there anything else to pay attention to in life? This is a good question. Because people with low blood sugar are usually easily tired. They usually have low blood pressure. So they often need to pay attention to their daily routines. For example, they need to sleep for a long time. Pay attention to eating in the morning. So that our energy can come up. We need to have a particularly regular three meals. Regular? Yes, because their blood sugar is unstable. If you let them have low blood sugar first, they will eat randomly. They will eat something unhealthy. But it will affect their appetite. Yes. Next, sleep is super important. You must not stay up late. Because maybe everyone will find out that once you stay up late and are particularly tired, the symptoms of low blood sugar the next day will be more obvious. So they will feel particularly dizzy and tired in the morning. They will be particularly hungry all day. And I also want to eat fried chicken, steamed milk, chicken steak. Why are you the same as me? When I stay up late, I really want to eat randomly. That's right. There is research that the less we sleep, the more we will eat some junk food during the day. It feels like eating something will get a little... I don't know, satisfaction in the brain? But it doesn't seem to make any sense. In fact, it gets some energy to cope with some feelings that you are too tired. Yes. I am very happy to chat with Lucy today. Because I think this topic is relatively rare. Then ordinary people may not feel too much. Just think that I may eat a full meal and drink a dessert. It seems that there are two stomachs. Every girl says that the two stomachs are different between eating dessert and eating money. It seems that you don't feel too much. But today, through Lucy, we know that this may also be a small symptom that needs everyone's attention. I also hope that everyone can be healthy internally and externally and enjoy life, taste life. Thank you, Lucy. Thank you. See you next time. Bye bye.
