Mayo Clinic, patient guidance on reactive hypoglycaemia: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetes/expert-answers/reactive-hypoglycemia/faq-20057778. Cited for the clinical boundary only
This is clinical patient guidance rather than research, and the citation itself records why it is here: it marks a boundary. An article dealing with hunger and blood sugar needed to distinguish the ordinary dips that everyone experiences after eating from reactive hypoglycaemia, which is a diagnosable condition with symptoms that warrant seeing a doctor. The page is cited for that clinical line only, and this publication's rules require it, since writing about a bodily symptom without indicating when it stops being normal is the failure the health-writing standard exists to prevent. Nothing in it should be used as evidence about the psychology of appetite.
