A member asked:
Im dieting and eating less, cutting back on carbs. wakeup at night or morning feeling hungry, sick, weak, hot, sweaty. normal or sign of hypoglicemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypoglycemia is: a POSSIBILITY. Please see your doc who can test your blood sugar an let you know. He/she may order a glucose tolerance test. Congratulations on cleaning up your food plan but its bet to have guidance from your doc. When you go low carb you may need to replace them w/extra protein. Your body is switching from using sugar for fuel to burning fat. Peace and good health.

I feel cold, anxious, sweaty, sleepy, and too weak to stand. I have a bad headache as well. Is it hypoglycemia, if it didn't improve after dinner?
Is this quote accurate? "Sometimes the excessive collection of acid in the stomach will cause people to misinterpret the symptoms as hypoglycemia, excessive stomach acid will make the person shaky, weak, hungry and nauseated, until they eat again."
Serious hypoglycemia symptoms every 3 hrs w/o food. As a child had low sugar crashes if super hungry but it's now much worse. Chronic low energy, reversible but frequent muscle weakness, heavy sluggish + trembling. Any tests? genetic? glucagon? thx!
Glucose tests always normal. Episodes of severe dizziness, hot/cold flushing, feeling weak, feeling hungry. Having sugar relieves symptoms.
If I dont eat enough the night before (dieting), I wake up the next morning feeling sick, nauseas, weak. How come?
