- VIDEO DESCRIPTION
In this video, I am talking to Dr. Penny Figtree, a primary care physician from Port Macquarie on the East Coast of Australia. Dr. Figtree leads a low-carb clinic to treat obesity, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and other metabolic disorders. She also has a long history of experiencing blood sugar spikes, often followed by reactive hypoglycemia, even though she does not have prediabetes or diabetes. We are discussing who is most at risk of blood sugar spikes and reactive hypoglycemia, the symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia, and how to avoid both the blood sugar spikes and the reactive hypoglycemia.
