Sept. 4, 2012 -- Blood sugar levels at the high end of what is considered normal may put the brain at risk, according to a new Australian study. Researchers in Canberra report a link between the shrinkage of two brain regions, the hippocampus and the amygdala, and normal blood sugar levels.
When your blood sugar drops, your body releases stored sugar -- mainly from the liver -- and overcompensates. If your blood sugar level drops in the middle of the night, this overproduction of sugar can cause a high level in the morning. This is called the Somogyi effect. When your blood sugar is low, it's best to eat about 15 grams of carbohydrates, and then wait 15 minutes before repeating the process.
