Today we're gonna talk about dysglycemia and Hashimoto's. So dysglycemia refers to blood sugar. Disc means it's screwed up. So basically dysglycemia can be high blood sugar, low blood sugar, but it's usually somebody bouncing back and forth between high and low blood sugar. This is one of my favorite topics. So I'll do my best to try and keep it less than an hour and a half long here. This just be a couple minutes, because this is huge. This is huge, huge, huge, huge, huge. Why is it huge because everybody blows it off. What do I, what do I mean by everybody? I mean, your doctors blow it off. Low blood sugar is in the medical field, not considered a problem until it's below 60, which is almost like having no blood sugar and you're passing out and you can't stay awake.

And you're like, you know, this is like the diabetic who hasn't taken insulin or, you know, and they've run out of, and they've run outta sugar. But that's a pathological entity, low blood sugar is just you don't, you, you, you, you don't eat and you get irritable. You get shaky, you get agitated, you crave sweets, you get tired. Maybe you get trembling. All of these things are, all of these symptoms are relative to you having a blood sugar drop. When you get a blood sugar drop, it affects your it affects your brain. Obviously you get AR irritated, agitated, those types of things, because your blood, your brain needs proper blood sugar everything, your, all your cells need proper blood sugar, but your brain gives you the most notable symptoms. And when you're getting those symptoms, you are creating, there's a huge amount of inflammatory and what's called oxidative stress.

And so both of these chemical entities will then cause your antibodies to your thyroid to be attacked by inflammatory responses. And then, and then ultimately those inflammatory responses will attack your thyroid if you're a Hashimoto's patient. And then there's insulin resistance. So low blood sugar below 60 is, is what your medical doctor would be all excited about. But they're really not excited about low blood sugar. When you're getting ear and shaky and have anxiety and stuff, they just say, you know what? You just have anxiety in your ear will shaky here, take some, you know, take some Xanax or take some Prozac or take some sort of a, you know, anti-anxiety medication. They, and, and they'll look at your labs and, and if your blood labs are normal, but you have all of those symptoms, they're not gonna treat you for low blood sugar.

Here's a problem. Low blood sugar can, your low blood sugar can be present for seven to 10 years before it shows up on your blood test. So you really gotta go by these symptoms. Same thing with high blood sugar will use the terms, insulin resistance, because these are terms of doctors will use with you or prediabetic. Once you get the diabetes, your diabetic, you have high blood sugar, it stays a high until you do something about it.
