The Real Reason Lows Turn Into Overeating (Don't Be Mad At Me)

Show NotesMost people think overeating during a low is about hunger. It’s not. It’s about urgency.In this episode, we talk about why low blood sugar creates a sense of panic that feels exactly like hunger, even when your body doesn’t actually need more food. We break down how urgency overrides judgment, why “just a little more” keeps happening, and how one low can quietly derail your blood sugars for hours afterward.This isn’t about self-control. It’s about recognizing what’s really driving the behavior so you can interrupt it before it turns into another frustrating graph spiral.What You Can Do TodayNotice the difference between hunger and urgency the next time you’re low. Pay attention to speed, not appetite, how fast you want to eat. Decide on a single, measured low treatment you trust before urgency shows up.ResourcesHelpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.comSponsor ConnectBlue Circle Health offers free coaching and care that fits real life for adults with type 1 diabetes.
