A member asked:
Can a sudden drop in blood sugar levels cause epinephrine release even if it doesn't drop below 5.ommol/l?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is known as a false hypoglycemic reaction, where a rapid drop of sugar from a high level to a more normal level can cause hypoglycemic symptoms. This typically occurs in diabetics with poor blood sugar control. It can occasionally occur in people who are not diabetic but have reactive hypoglycemia.
