– Why is insulin induced hypoglycemia a bad thing ?

373 views

It is my understanding that insuline helps the glucose enter the cells.

How is too much insulin a problem, since the glucose goes where it is supposed to go ?

What are the main problems caused by a rush of glucose inside the cells ?

Hypo/hyper glycemia refers to glucose in the bloodstream, not in cells. So if you have too much insulin shuttling glucose into cells, your blood doesn’t have enough aka hypoglycemia
