Hypoglycemia diet meals
Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia diet meals
hypoglycemia
You may have pre-diabetes, and need to go on a diabetic diet. Meanwhile, make sure you have both protein and carbohydrates with all meals, and with all snacks, which you seem to be doing. You also might need to get a dietary consult and/or see an endocrinologist, for both are specially trained in working with people with blood sugar problems.
If it is hypoglycemia, which I tend to doubt, 2 hours after meals is the least likely time. More likely is first thing in the morning or right before you are due to eat a meal.But if you are taking your blood sugar when you feel the worst and it is not low, then obviously something else is going on. I'm sorry I'm not a doctor and couldn't begin to guess what it all indicates, and not even sure which forum would be useful to ask.
Went for a normal physical with fasting labs. I got a call from my doctor two days later and my glucose was 56. They were concerned about me being possibly hypoglycemic. Been checking it on and off and reading a lot on the subject but no definite answer as to what I need to be watching for in the future. It ranges from being in the 60s to 120s. The highest I've ever saw it go is 122 but that was two hours after eating.
If your fasting blood sugar is okay you probably just get on the low side and start to feel gittery and irritable. I am like that too. So, yes protein and the complex carbs both work. Just eat either one more often and have smaller meals or have a snack with you so when you feel like that you can boost yourself up. I personally feel better now that I'm on a vegan diet. I eat a whole plant based diet with complex carbs and veggies and vanilla soy milk. I don't get as gittery.
My hypoglycemia strikes with no warning many times throughout the day, even as soon as an hour after my meals. I have to carry glucose tablets and orange juice with me at all times. When it falls low I cannot function. The last really bad episode of this I could hardly breathe, complete mental confusion, weak all over, headache, heart palpitations, very scary to say the least. Can anyone help me understand why I cannot control this, and is this a sign of Diabetes in the future? Than you.
s after meals. I had been sticking to the low carb diet and mixed meals as prescribed, and I would still experience these problems. After eating a portion of red meat and vegetables with 2 bites of roasted potato my sugar would drop to 64.
I was hospitalized for a 72 hour fast with a suspected insulinoma. After the hourly sugar checks and every 6 hour insulin, proinsulin and c peptide tests, insulinoma was ruled out.
Is anyone else having hypoglycemia (which is low blood sugar abt an hr or 2 after meals)? I'm 26wks and been having it for around a week now.How do u usually deal with it when it strikes?
The pediatrician gave us the result of ketonic hypoglycemia. Is there a special diet i need to put him on? How often would he have episodes? And could he have had a one time only episode?
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.
The nutritonist gave me a glucose meter so I could check my bs after meals and fasting. After two months of excercise and diet change I have lost 15lbs. My blood sugar is no longer high in the mornings ( usually between 87-93) but now I've noticed it goes down to about 71-75 two hours after eating. I started checking it at one hour after eating and one time it was 139 then at the two hour mark it was 71.

The general rule of thumb to help prevent low blood sugar mornings is to avoid low carbohydrate diets, try eating a snack before bed, though high fibre snacks, because foods high in fibre slows down glucose absorption and change your diet to eat small, frequent meals throughout the day rather than three larger meals a day.
Female, 22, I'll be the first to admit I probably don't eat the healthiest diet. Being a grad student, it's hard to stay on schedule and eat regular meals, but I'm definitely eating. Anyway, this morning, I woke up at the normal 5:45 seemingly okay. I immediately got in the shower, and still seemed okay. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I got the worst hunger pains I've ever felt in my life. Within about 30 seconds, the hunger was accompanied by nausea and dry heaves.
A change in diet is often recommended; eating frequent meals with lots of protein and complex carbs, since they take a little longer to metabolize. There are now medications that you can take that will help also. I would highly recommend that you see an endocrinologist and get some treatment. The low blood pressure in combination with hypoglycemia can be very scary and dangerous. The treatment is really easy and very successful.
I have heard that people with reactive hypoglycemia should eat frequent small meals and cut sugars, but my main question is why am I having reactive hypoglycemia. There must be a cause why I am having this problem (if I have it) because I don't think that its normal in people without diabetes.
I do not know if it is possinble to grow out of hypoglycemia, but with the proper diet, this may become much less of a problem. I wish I had some answers. If there is anyone out there who knows more about hypoglycemia, please respond.
