When there is an insufficient amount of glucose that is needed for the production of energy, there is a sudden drop in the blood sugar. When the diet is high in refined carbohydrates and simple sugar, and low in protein, the pancreas is signaled to produce large amounts of insulin to balance the high sugar level in the bloodstream. When the insulin hits the bloodstream, it neutralized the sugar so quickly that there is a sudden drop in the blood sugar.
Stress also aggravates the symptoms.
In most cases candida is further complicating the condition. See Candida 6. This is another significant factor in hypoglycemia. When you eat food it goes to the stomach for digestions, it is then passed to the intestines where the nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal walls and blood stream, then are delivered to individual cells. Problems occur when the intestinal walls become inflamed, which causes a separating of the cells, which allows partially digested foods and bacteria to enter the blood stream.
