Struggling with Fasting or Blood Sugar Levels? B Vitamins Could Be the Key!

Do you find it challenging to fast or go several hours between meals?

Do you wake up in the middle of the night feeling shaky with low blood sugar?

Or perhaps you simply experience symptoms of hypoglycemia more often than you'd like?

Many people dismiss these symptoms as normal or struggle to find a solution. The truth is, your body is designed to go for long periods without food. So, if you have difficulty going more than a few hours without eating, it could be a crucial sign that something is off and needs attention.

Difficulty Going Several Hours Between Meals?

If you find yourself irritable, anxious, or unable to focus when you haven’t eaten in a while, your body may be signalling a problem with glycogenolysis. This process breaks down stored glycogen (stored carbohydrates) to release glucose into your bloodstream, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels and prevent low blood sugar symptoms.

Why might glycogenolysis be impaired? Vitamin B6 is required for the enzyme that regulates glycogen breakdown. So, if you're feeling off between meals, it could be a sign that you're not getting enough B6.

Waking Up in the Night with Low Blood Sugar?

Blood sugar regulation doesn't stop when you go to sleep! Your body has backup systems to keep glucose levels steady, even while you’re resting. After a few hours without food, gluconeogenesis kicks in to convert non-carbohydrate sources throughout the body into usable glucose, which again prevents symptoms of low blood sugar. 

This process requires the B vitamin biotin. This tells us that if you’re prone to nighttime hypoglycemia, but not so much day time hypoglycemia, you might suspect biotin deficiency.

The Many Benefits of B Vitamins

These are just a few of the ways B vitamins support your health, especially when it comes to blood sugar regulation. Here are some other factors that can increase your need for these nutrients:

• Greater muscle mass

• Starting a new exercise routine (especially if you're new to training)

• Intense physical activity or training

• Undertaking a detox program

• Following a vegan or vegetarian diet
