Medical Question

Hello everyone.
I'd like to ask to anyone who knows about these things, how much time does it takes to notice sympthoms or any change in your body without eating any sugar?

 

i usually feel the change in like 3-4 days , i get dizzy and weak and my urge to eat sugar is huge

 

hmm i see, i havent for at least 24 hours now and im starting to feel quite awful, but every day since last saturday ive been eating once a day tops, and not always anything with any kind of sugar, so maybe thats why.

 

well if ur body got used to an amount of sugar on a daily bases than ofc it will start "poking" u if its not receiving it. And i dont know if cutting the sugar supply off that drastically is good , maybe try to lower the amount day by day and try to feed it with natural sugar from fruits or so.

 

thing is i wasnt even trying to lower amounts of sugar or food at all, i simply didnt feel like eating anymore lol and some days i wouldnt eat anything, i didnt feel sick or anything like it until today.

 

i think the best is to visit a doctor thats specialized in this field , he/she can give u advices how to keep ur body up and working and not feeling crappy w/o sugar

 

yeah i should probably do that x.x thanks for the replies though :smile:

 

no problem , sugar XD

jking

 

Everyone needs sugar
So u have to eat it ^.^

Otherwise your body will start feeling awful yeah =\
The same with very high sugar..

 

What is hypoglycemia? Hypoglycemia, also called low blood glucose or low blood sugar, occurs when blood glucose drops below normal levels. Glucose, an important source of energy for the body, comes from food. Carbohydrates are the main dietary source of glucose. Rice, potatoes, bread, tortillas, cereal, milk, fruit, and sweets are all carbohydrate-rich foods.
After a meal, glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to the body's cells. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps the cells use glucose for energy. If a person takes in more glucose than the body needs at the time, the body stores the extra glucose in the liver and muscles in a form called glycogen. The body can use glycogen for energy between meals. Extra glucose can also be changed to fat and stored in fat cells. Fat can also be used for energy.
When blood glucose begins to fall, glucagon-another hormone made by the pancreas-signals the liver to break down glycogen and release glucose into the bloodstream. Blood glucose will then rise toward a normal level. In some people with diabetes, this glucagon response to hypoglycemia is impaired and other hormones such as epinephrine, also called adrenaline, may raise the blood glucose level. But with diabetes treated with insulin or pills that increase insulin production, glucose levels can't easily return to the normal range.
Hypoglycemia can happen suddenly. It is usually mild and can be treated quickly and easily by eating or drinking a small amount of glucose-rich food. If left untreated, hypoglycemia can get worse and cause confusion, clumsiness, or fainting. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, coma, and even death.
In adults and children older than 10 years, hypoglycemia is uncommon except as a side effect of diabetes treatment. Hypoglycemia can also result, however, from other medications or diseases, hormone or enzyme deficiencies, or tumors.

 

What velociraptor said xD
I have diabetes personally , i have to inject myself to burn the sugar when i eat , which means u take sugar from almost all kinds of food (except meat and some other stuff)

 

Yeah its so annoying o.o
Injecting yourself each time, and i mostly forget to do it 99% of the time

 

Some peoples bodies consist primarily of water.



My body primarily consists of sugar.



FEELS GOOD TO BE GOD.

 

wau? ...u mean candy

 

I have to inject myself hourly as well, so I can keep trippin'

 

u inject urself with a doze of me oO

 

I do inject you with my doze, wait wat...
You're right though, you're my drug <3

 

and u are mine :x

 

cutting out refined sugar is one of the best things you can do, get your carbs from veggies and fruit, i bet you'll feel much better.

 

oh thanks for the explanation, this surely explains many things to me about what happened and about what should i do in future situations and about my whole diet as well. thanks a lot :smile:
