"Lyme disease can impair adrenal function, which in turn can cause reactive hypoglycemia (blood sugar swings). This is also a common symptom of babesia. Hypoglycemia was one of the first symptoms I experienced."
"Many Lyme and babesia patients experience hypoglycemia and also find themselves treated by doctors who aren’t familiar with the connections. As a result, hypoglycemics, like myself, also struggle with weight management, and with the frustration and embarrassment of having to interrupt social interactions or work meetings to eat, often at inopportune times."

"In this research update, I’ll discuss the adverse effects of high blood sugar on Lyme disease outcomes and offer evidence-based recommendations for improving blood sugar control so that you can support your body in its recovery from Lyme."
"One of the disconcerting things about reactive hypoglycemia is that you can’t always tell when you are crashing. You feel tired, and naturally you just want to take a few minutes and take a nap, and can’t understand why your loved one is bugging you, asking if you are crashing and need some food."
Note:
Hyperglycemia can cause inflammation through various ways that result in the production of free radicals and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, high glycemic index and glycemic load diets can potentially stimulate inflammation. Glycemic index is the blood glucose-raising potential of the carbohydrates in various foods.
