I always laugh and chuckle when people yip and yap about bonking
and running out of sugar.Â* Ha Ha.Â* Just people making up
nonsense.Â* Unless you are a Type 1 diabetic, or maybe maybe Type
2 also, you cannot get a low blood sugar.Â* The human body does
not allow blood sugars to fall very low.Â* The Islets of
Langerhans inside the pancreas produce the hormone insulin.Â* This
is injected into the blood stream and works with the glucose in
the blood to keep the blood sugar at a fairly constant level.Â* No
matter how much you exercise and no matter how much or little you
eat, the non-diabetic body is excellent at regulating the blood
sugar to keep blood sugar at a very constant normal level.Â* Your
blood sugar does not go up and down in a non-diabetic.Â* Blood
sugar going up and down is similar to a person saying they
stopped their heart from beating for a minute or two.Â* Do you
believe people can manually control whether their heart beats?
If you do then you likely will also believe your blood sugar goes
up and down.

And what causes the symptoms we call bonking and go away when we
eat sugary food. Or does this also not happen?

Its called getting tired.Â* Your muscles get tired from use.Â* And when
you stop you get rest.Â* And maybe, possibly, you drink something and
get rehydrated.Â* But your BLOOPD SUGAR, the amount of glucose in your
blood stream, remains very stable.Â* Your endocrine system,
specifically your pancreas, keeps your blood sugar very stable.Â* It
has to do that to allow your body to work properly.Â* Remember your
heart and lungs are muscles and are always working.Â* They need a
constant source of energy to function correctly.Â* And all the rest of
the cells in your body need a continuous, constant amount of
sugar/energy to operate correctly.Â* Your body, and all animal bodies,
is very good at this task.Â* All animal bodies keep blood sugars
constant.Â* Or else the animal dies.

Animals do not exceed their sustainable efforts for days on end, humans
are able to.Â* On a race from Berlin to Vienna in the 1850's, the human
runner won because the horse died of exhaustion.

That's been an important human talent for millenia:
