Condition
Reactive Hypoglycemia
Reactive hypoglycemia is low blood sugar that shows up two to four hours after a meal, usually a carbohydrate-heavy one, when the body releases too much insulin and blood sugar drops too far, bringing shakiness, sweating, and hunger. Little research on supplements for it has been reviewed here so far, so there are no trial findings to report yet. Fiber and chromium are the ones most often discussed, but their effects on this condition remain untested in the studies covered.
