Does the brain need glucose?

Female  27 years old 2018-06-26
I have recently started to lose weight, but I feel that my brain is always dizzy. My friend said it is because the brain is short of sugar. Does the brain need glucose?

    Don't skip staple foods or carbohydrate foods because of weight loss, because the brain needs glucose. The brain is different from other organs. It depends on glucose to provide energy. In the case of insufficient glucose, other organs can also oxidize fatty acids to provide energy, but the brain cannot.
