Yeah, I'm a type 1 diabetic and nothing about this person's post made sense. It's just not how blood glucose works. There's not a store of glucose in the brain that can just suddenly be depleted because you worked too much. Glucose travels in the blood and its uptake is regulated by insulin. If he was suffering from hypoglycemia he would feel effects in his entire body, and it would be at least temporarily resolved by eating sugar.
