What happens when you eat a lot of sugar and still have low blood sugar?

Answer 1

Your blood sugar goes low and you can faint or go into shock.

Sometimes blood sugar levels fall too low. This is called hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can happen when a person eats too little food, takes too much insulin or Diabetes medicine, or is more physically active than usual. Often hypoglycemia happens suddenly and sometimes there is no explanation for why it occurs. When this happens, a person may have some, or all of these symptoms:

• Shaking
• Fast heartbeat
• Sweating
• Dizziness
• Feeling anxious
• Hunger
• Vision problems
• Weakness or feeling very tired
• Headache
• Feeling irritable

Answer 2

There is no benefit other than extra calories to processed sugars. You can live without processed sugars.

However, if you are talking about not enough sugar in general (including fruit sugars and other good ones), then you will go into Hypoglycemia.

Answer 3

Medically, this is known as hypoglycaemia. If not too severe it make people feel slightly shakey, lacking in energy, confused and generally "off colour" as it starves the brain of essential glucose, the brain's source of fuel. More severe hypoglycaemia can lead to coma or even death. As a complication of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, it means that the dose of insulin might need to be reduced. An injection of glucose at your local emergency department will quickly reverse the symptoms. It can happen randomly for no apparant reason and might just be associated with needing something to eat. Beware of simply taking sugar to cure it as this is just a quick fix and, when ths sugar "runs out" the symptoms might return worse than before. A sandwich or other starchy food would be the best fix until a good meal is eaten.

Answer 4

Nothing. That is what insulin does for your body. It processes and handles large amounts of sugar so that there is no effect on your body. Sugar diabetics don't have the insulin regulation that non-diabetics do. That is why they must regulate their sugar intake and get insulin shots.

Answer 5

If the sugar in your body becomes low you can have some or all of the following symptoms: headache, feeling irritable, blurred vision, accelerated heartbeat, hunger, shaking, dizziness and feeling nervous or anxious.
