Large amounts of eating litchi caused by hypoglycemia is indeed present, clinically generally referred to as “litchi disease”, mostly seen in children (2-6 years old), patients generally have a large number of consecutive days eating litchi at the same time during the eating litchi, daily meals eaten greatly reduced, or even not eaten at all, the onset of sweating, cold extremities, weakness and other symptoms of hypoglycemia. The symptoms of hypoglycemia such as weakness.
The pathogenesis of lychee disease is not fully understood, and is currently considered to be the result of a variety of factors, one of which is due to the large amount of fructose contained in lychee, lychee contains a large amount of fructose, glucose and sucrose. In the consumption of a large number of litchi, glucose is rapidly absorbed, followed by the formation of a blood glucose peak, and then stimulate the body to produce a large amount of insulin for lowering blood sugar, the body absorbed more lagging fructose into the body, can be partially converted into glucose in the liver, the body to form a high blood sugar “illusion”, again stimulate the body to secrete a large amount of The second secretion of insulin will cause a reactive hypoglycemia.
Another factor is that there is a hypoglycemic substance in the lychee itself, especially in the unripe lychee, if a lot of eating not fully ripe lychee, but also because of the intake of excessive hypoglycemic substances, and cause hypoglycemia.
