In this article, we will discuss How blood sugar exhibits premenstrual syndrome.



1. Abnormal liver function
For what ever reasons, women with per menstrual syndrome are found to have sluggish liver in carbohydrate metabolism. This causes unbalance of sugar levels in the bloodstream as resulting of liver inability in stimulating the pancreas function of secreting insulin leading to sugar graving between meals.

2. Stress
We face stress in our daily life, women with PMS are more sensitive to stress than women without it, it is caused by over secreting adrenaline hormones. As levels of adrenaline hormone increase, it depresses the levels of progesterone in the body resulting in hormone imbalance and leading to food and sugar graving.

3. Adrenaline hormone
Research found that some women with pre menstrual syndrome have abnormal surge of adrenaline hormone between meals. it is caused either over active nervous system in facing stress or inability of liver in regulating the function of pancreas in insulin production resulting in sugar craving tiredness and fatigue.

4. Excessive alcohol drinking
Moderate drinking helps to improve blood circulation and increase the immune system in fighting against forming of free radicals, bacteria and virus, excessive drinking damages the live organ resulting in lessening the liver in pancreas regulating in insulin secretion that causes unbalance of sugar levels in the bloodstream resulting in more severe PMS.

5. Medication
Using some kind of medication such as beta blocker, Bactrim, Septra and etc. may cause low levels of blood sugar in the bloodstream leading to over production of adrenaline hormone resulting in pre menstrual syndrome. It is wise to talk to your doctor if you have PMS.
