CANDY HEADACHES

CANDY HEADACHES

When too much sugar is consumed at once or if someone don’t eat for an extended period of time, they can cause rapid fluctuations in their blood sugar levels which can trigger a headache. Some people are more prone to these sugar-triggered headaches.

RISK FACTORS

MIGRAINE SUFFERERS

Not all migraine sufferers have the same triggers. However, one common trigger of migraines is sugar. And it’s not just sugar that is a trigger for these intense headaches, but also sweeteners like sucralose. That means your Splenda could be a potential trigger for a migraine attack.

PEOPLE WITH DIABETES

Diabetes is a disease where the body doesn't produce enough insulin or cannot use it correctly. This causes blood sugar levels to rise in the blood. Continuously having high or low blood sugar levels can lead to many life-threatening conditions. It can also lead to headaches.  

Not everyone with diabetes will experience headaches; however, those who have trouble managing their fluctuating blood sugar levels may develop headaches. The more the blood sugar levels fluctuate, the more likely these headaches will occur.

Depending on whether the headache was caused by too much blood sugar (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia), there are different ways to treat the headache. For example, if your blood test confirms too low of blood sugar, eating a small amount of simple carbohydrates (15-20 grams) may help.

PEOPLE WHO CONSUME TOO MUCH SUGAR

Consuming high amounts of sugar on a consistent basis can lead to a sugar addiction. A high intake of sugar over a period of time can cause changes to the brain that are similar to addictive drugs. Therefore, if someone who usually consumes a lot of sugar suddenly stops consuming it, their body and brain can go into withdrawal and cause a headache. When it comes to sugar, you shouldn’t stop “cold turkey.” Rather, you should gradually reduce your sugar intake.
