Blood sugar swings are a commonly overlooked cause of fatigue. Some people have a condition called hypoglycemia where their blood sugar is unstable and drops too low if they don’t eat frequently enough.
This can cause frequent tiredness, dizziness, irritability, moodiness, and/ or other potential symptoms too if it is not recognized and managed properly.
Hypoglycemia can cause swings of mood and energy throughout the day. If you get ‘hangry’ when you’re hungry and miss a meal, then this is a clue your blood sugar is probably unstable.
One quick solution to start fixing this problem is to eat small frequent meals with protein and fat at every meal.
Avoiding high sugar foods and drinks is also important.
Lastly, working with a health professional who can do some lab testing and further assess and help you treat this health condition may be needed. If you need more support with this, feel free to reach out. We're here for you!
