Feeling Irritable
We’ve all been there before: you are waiting for a late dinner companion, feeling increasingly irritated as hunger begins to set in. According to gastroenterologists, there’s science behind that “hangry” feeling. When your blood sugar level dips, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline surge. This can often trigger the feeling of irritability. However, we should note that hunger doesn’t always mean low blood sugar – it’s also possible to feel a bit cranky with stable glucose levels.
