In this video, we’re going to talk about nighttime hypoglycemia.

If you have nigh time hypoglycemia, you may:
• Wake up with a headache in the middle of the night
• Experience sleep problems
• Feel tired because you can’t sleep well
• Experience sweating throughout the night (especially around your neck)
• Feel hungry at night
• Experience shaking

Usually, those with night time hypoglycemia are already diabetics who are on insulin. They are often taking too much insulin; this may actually drive their insulin lower at night.

If your blood sugar drops down too low at night, you need to talk with your doctor about adjusting your medications.

What if you have nighttime hypoglycemia, but you’re not a diabetic? It could be a situation called idiopathic post prandial syndrome. This essentially means that there’s an unknown cause of these symptoms after a meal. It won’t show up on a blood test.

I believe this condition is actually an issue with insulin resistance—where your cells are resisting insulin. In turn, this causes low sugar in your cells. If your cells are starved of sugar, you’re going to crave sweets, which can then make the situation worse.

The best way to fix insulin resistance is to go on a healthy keto diet and intermittent fasting plan. Consuming five meals a day will constantly spike insulin, causing more and more problems. Stick to 1-2 meals a day (intermittent fasting).

Avoid refined carbs and sugar. Instead, consume healthy fats and plenty of vegetables.
