A member asked:
How common is fainting from non-diabetic/reactive hypoglycemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fainting?: not so much. Feeling like fainting is much more common. Happens. The physiology of it is in people who are becoming diabetic, they are not sensitive to insulin and the insulin regulation is off. The first thing is that with less sensitivity to it, the amount of insulin secreted goes sky high. Then, if there isn't enough sugar... reactive hypOglycemia and feeling empty.
