Question:
Why do specialist specifically reccommend people with hypoglycemia not fast?
Why is this?
Answers:
People with hypoglycemia have low blood sugar. That is actually what hypoglycemia means. When you fast, your blood sugar drops even lower and that can become a life threatening emergency. One possible way to get around this is to drink pleny of fruit juices sweetened with sugar if that is allowed on your fast, however always consult with your doctor first.
