    GlossaryHypoglycemia

    condition where blood sugar levels drop below normal

    Hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar, occurs when the glucose levels in the blood drop below the normal range, typically less than 70 mg/dL. This condition can cause symptoms such as shakiness, sweating, confusion, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness. It is often associated with diabetes treatment but can also result from other medical conditions, excessive alcohol consumption, or prolonged fasting.

      in Research/Science  26 upvotes 5 months ago
      A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hair growth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.

      community Female, 30, PCOS diagnosis, MPB Norwood 2. Endo refuses to give anything other than Spironolactone. Feel like I’m at my wit’s end here.

      in Female  55 upvotes 1 year ago
      A 30-year-old female with PCOS and male pattern baldness is frustrated with her endocrinologist's recommendation of only Spironolactone and minoxidil, feeling that dutasteride, finasteride, and progesterone would be more effective. Other users suggest various online sources for treatments, warn against self-medicating due to potential risks, and recommend seeking a specialized endocrinologist or considering additional treatments like Inositol, Berberine, and dermaneedling.
