You know, I didn’t find it that surprising either.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to tell me about these edge cases of hypoglycemia. I feel like I did a reasonable job describing how it works for individuals on insulin therapy.
I have not found much in medical literature that says hypoglycemia is anything other than abnormal and dangerous condition that should be treated immediately.
This study starts out with the lines, for example, “Among otherwise healthy adults, there is a subgroup of individuals who develop symptoms of hypoglycemia during episodes of food restriction.”

It appears these medical researchers do not consider hypoglycemia during periods of fasting normal or healthy.
- cperciva 5y agoKey word there is symptoms of hypoglycemia. Hypoglycaemia can be entirely asymptomatic in food-restricted healthy adults.
