Good evening everyone.
Hope someone can help understand what is happening here.
Ok, so something very strange happened in my last four running sessions.
This week, and before my running session, I get some food rich in sugar, like fructose, or other type of sugar.
What happens next remain very unclear to me.
After 30 minutes ( never before ) of running ( a relaxed jogging ) my legs begin to lose tonicity, my vision become bluried, a lot of fatigue happen too, and I start sweat a lot, and I feel heart increasing BPM and hypoglycemia develop from nowhere.
Hypoglycemia happen ONLY when I eat somekind of simple sugar before training.
For example, if I eat a slice of bread, I don't have any kind of hypoglycemia, and I finish my train without any big issues.
What makes me even confused, is the fact that my blood sugar levels are all good, before and after running.
I don't have diabetes, or any metabolic disease.
Only thing that doctor diagnosed me, was reactive hypoglycemia, a few months ago.
But in this case, I only have hypoglycemia if I run, if I stay at home doing nothing, even if I eat some fruit or food rich in simple sugar I don't have any symptoms of hypoglycemia.
What is happening here ? Those hypoglycemia happens only when my blood have a lot of sugar and when Cortisol is produced to feed the muscles ?
I have a diet rich in carbohydrates, such as bread etc, sugar, so my glycogen storages should have a pretty good amount level to feed my muscles... theorically it's almost impossible to run out of glicose only with a 30 minutes jogging.
Is my body sending too much insulin to compensate something that i don't quite understand what is it, send my Blood sugar to low values ?
I'm coming to the conclusion, that is best to run without any kind of sugar in blood to avoid hypoglycemia...but that in long term will create problems, because my muscle mass will be used instead of my glicose.
Is there anyone with a good explanation, or idea of what is causing this ?
Never in my life I had something similar.
Thank you so much.
Best regards.
