If you read no other posts, learn what the [GLUT3](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/biochemistry-glucose-and-your-brain/3813) enzyme is. If you don’t understand the significance of it after reading the post, ask away.

When my Endo talked about Hypoglycemia, I actually asked her “Do you know what the Glut3 enzyme is and what it’s purpose is?” You’d be amazed to see the yes headshaking but little intelligent discussion about it from them. Why? Because, after your visit, most of them will run off and do their research to figure out how it’s VERY relevant to the bodies (brains) ability to get and keep a constant supply of glucose.

I love this post and learning about GLUT3 helped me relax a little when worrying about “lows” in general
