Headaches? Stress headaches? Maybe your blood sugar is off. When Blood Sugar is Too Low One of the suspected causes of low blood sugar-caused headaches has to do with the blood vessels in your brain. Your brain needs a readily available supply of glucose in order to function properly. If the brain senses it does not have enough sugar, blood vessels in the brain can spasm, triggering a headache. In the fasting state, stress hormones are also released which can cause vasoconstriction leading to headache. There is also a type of headache that can be seen in patients with diabetes that experience frequent low blood sugars, which are followed by rebound high blood sugars. This rebound phenomenon is often due to hormones that the body releases in response to a low blood sugar in an attempt to regulate itself. When Blood Sugar is Too High High blood sugars can cause lack of concentration, an overall feeling of sluggishness, and headaches. This is especially true if blood sugars have been high for a long period of time. Several factors are at play in this situation. First, in an attempt to rid the body of excess sugar, your body will increase urine output. The increase in urination can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance that can lead to — you guessed it — a headache! I recommend Slim and nerve health support pinkdrinkbayarea
