My curse, my blessing. Your name is hypoglycemia
What I have is most likely a genetically induced hyper active gland that converts sugar to energy in a faster than normal process. This lead me to the feeling of hunger every 3 hours and induces the symptoms of hypoglycemia if I don't take care of it. Normal cases of these disease exist in most people who have diabetes and are getting treatment. Or those who have an overactive insulin generating mechanism that lowers their blood sugar.
What I have is most probablly “Fasting Hypoglycemia”. The upside of this is I can take a lot of sugar and fat while in the mean time, I have to watch out that I don't have blood sugar level lower than 50mg. It's good to know that I can get rid of the symptom by swallowing 4 tablespoon of cornstarch “yuck” for a quick boost of sugar. A lot of my life make sense now. My inability to get fat with 5 meals a day. The shake and cold sweat that comes if I am too hungry. The craving for a sugary tim hortons coffee after I exercise.
While reading this, I found out that our brain functions purely on sugar. Or if in emergency, another substance called keytones, but our iq would lowever during that emergency period. i.e. apeman. Is this how the witches of the old time used to make zombies? By depriving someone of sugar to induce neuroglycopenia and supplementing ketones ?
