Hypoglycemia and fruit
Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia and fruit
hypoglycemia
Eat a healthy breakfast with slow release energy goods like porridge, egg on brown bread toast, wheetabix with soft fruit and milk, shredded wheat with milk and soft fruit, home made porridge made with milk or water with some cinnamon and a few raisins.
Two hours later, have a healthy snack - a piece of fruit, celery with peanut butter, a handful of nuts, a yogurt (read the label for sugar and fat content) - "low" does not necessarily mean healthy.
His fasting blood was 88, his next count after drinking the sugary liquid was 102, his next two were 69 and 61. It seems like he has hypoglycemia. He was told he has pre-diabetes and given a prescription for metformin 500 mg to take once a day for a week and to increase by a pill a day/week until he would be taking 4 pills/day within a month. Everything I have read says that this is given for high blood sugar. He is also very underweight.
I would suggest making sure you have at least six meals a day and purchase healthy filling snacks. Most fruit are like drinking glasses of water so that wont work, however if you are into trail mix or something i would suggest making your own with dried fruit roasted almonds or sunflowerseeds, or peanuts, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Something like that will be more filling and last a while. After mixing it put it in small zip lock bags.
Well, my last test showed by levels were back to normal, yet my fatigue remains, so does the insomnia and depression (for which I take anti-depressants). My weight gain continues and I suffer from reactive hypoglycemia - yet it seems inconsistent. I track my food daily and often eating similar foods on consecutive days - most of the time I'm ok, then I can repeat a meal and have an attack. Don't understand why.
I apologize if I have. Apparently you are not a diabetic and this is hypoglycemia. Ppl with hypoglycemia (which is low blood sugar but not diabetes) can "faint" when their glucose becomes too low. One of my parents and a good friend have hypoglycemia. They just needs to eat frequently. Both can feel when their glucose level drops. They become lightheaded, sometimes nauseated and dizzy. Neither have had any major problems associated with the hypoglycemia.
At the time I was in super shape but had a lot of hypoglycemia crises, and I have had hypoglycemia here and there since then. So I have a hard time understanding how I could pass this test now that I am pregnant and quite sedentary?? My test is going to be repeated in 2 weeks at 28 weeks and we'll see if I pass or fail.
Without proper testing results one assumption is you experienced reactive hypoglycemia. Reactive hypoglycemia [or alimentary hypoglycemia] is low glucose [blood sugar] that occurs after a meal — usually one to three hours after eating.
Try the following:
• Eat several small meals and snacks throughout the day, no more than three hours apart.
• Eat a well-balanced diet including lean and nonmeat sources of protein and high-fiber foods including whole grains, fruit and vegetables.
i have been more and more experiencing shaky spells and feeling faint... then i will eat a ...piece of fruit, or something, and a warm calming sensation comes over my body and i feel find. my family history indicatets thyroid problems, but my last t test came back normal, do people with hypoglycemea get diabetes later in life?
I asked my dr yesterday about getting shaky between meals if it had been a few hours since i had eaten anything and her response was that it sounded like hypoglycemia..she told me to stay away from sugar, sweets, fruit juices, cokes, etc. And to eat something high protein every 2 hours.
Isnt this what they tell you when you are diabetic? And is there anything i can use for sweetener that will be ok?!
I' am not a diabetic; I' am a hypoglycemic and everyday I experience fasting hypoglycemia upon waking. My morning blood glucose is between 25-30mg/dL and I always feel like crap, I only experience reactive adrenergic symptoms like, moderate hypertension, sweating, arrhythmia, headache, lightheadedness, shaking and nausea during the episode.
Last night I had to go to the er because my sugar dropped to 63 and they diagnosed it as hypoglycemia...
Is this considered Hypoglycemia even though BS is 114 and if not why does he recover after an increase is sugar., and what can it be?
With a low carb diet like you're eating, I wouldn't expect your blood glucose levels to go any higher than they are. A meal of red meat and veggies, with only 2 bites of roasted potato won't increase blood glucose levels like bread, fruits and other simple carbs do and since you aren't increasing your blood glucose levels, neither will you be spiking your insulin levels all that much.
Eat only protein, vegetables, and only small amounts of fruit (not on an empty stomach), preferably fruit with fiber, such as apples with the skin, berries, etc. Do not eat white flour, white rice, dried fruit, fruit juice, soda, or anything else with sugar. Don't even have any of it in the house, as it will be too hard to resist it. You will go through sugar withdrawal for a couple of days, but within a week, you will notice how much better you feel.
