loss of appetite
Posted: 04-20-08 20:18pm

Hi again,

I've been having some trouble eating whenever i get my 'hypo-like' days. That is, i tend to eat a bit and then completely do not want to eat anymore, whether it is meat or anything. I realize that some hypos get very hungry, but i have not noticed anyone mention this apetite loss when eating. Sure i get hungry because i eat very less from the apetite loss, but i don't think that is really extreme hunger. Is this typical for hypoglycemia? I only get this when i feel sick too, and not when i feel well.

Thanks again!

Yeah, it's typical, I used to have this happen. I forget what the mechanism behind it is though. I guess the body trying to starve itself so the level of food, and thus insulin, in the body drops and sugar normalizes.

I've had these same exact symptoms - in fact I've been having them today. I feel sick today and don't want to eat anything, but I know that I need to.
