A member asked:

I missed a meal and got really really hungry (low blood sugar). how can i get it back to normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sorry: But you may have been hungry , but your blood sugar wasn't low. You body has mechanisms to prevent that from happening during a fast. Otherwise you would die during sleep. Your body is much more complex and sophisticated than you give it credit for. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
