hypoglycemia diet advice

To help treat hypoglycemia is to minimize the length of time between meals (5-6 small meals a day). It is recommended not to eat too much carbohydrate per meal and actually eat more protein to help the blood sugar not to decrease rapidly, plus eat a variety of health foods. Suggest consuming 1800 calories per day spread between the 5-6 small meals. That will help you lose weight, control hypoglycemia, and feel better. Hoped this helped you.

org/diseases-conditions/hypoglycemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20373685 There is something called reactive hypoglycemia. In people without diabetes, hypoglycemia can result from the body producing too much insulin after a meal, causing blood sugar levels to drop. This is called reactive hypoglycemia. Reactive hypoglycemia can be an early sign of diabetes. https://www.diabetes.

good eating habbits are key in treating BOTH anxiety and hypoglycemia separately...that's no different if you have them both together. while there are many routes in treating anxiety...all of those routes are aided by good diet. i've yet to hear of one thats aided by a poor diet, but i suppose all is possible...though certainly not probable. obviously the frontline treatment of hypoglycemia is good diet. with this in mind, it's reasonable to assume good diet can only benefit you.

m being told there is NO WAY POSSIBLE that hypoglycemia can cause a seizure. I need real advice from someone. They want to lable him as epiletic. Can someone give me advice!

(I think he was embarassed to call and say I was having leg cramps). I told him this was something more than just leg cramps. The hypoglycemia episode followed by SEVERE leg cramps and then nausea concerns me. I have hypoglycemia episodes once or twice a week but do try and control the with diet and excercise. Sometimes I really do not know why they come, yesterday was one of those instances. I have NEVER had any sort of cramps or nausea following an episode. Is this normal? Common?

You would need to add some carbohydrates and fruits in adequate proportions. Diet lacking in carbohydrates is likely to be responsible for the low blood sugar. The high fasting levels could result from either increased or decreased calorie intake. I would suggest taking a healthy balanced diet and taking a few readings for the fasting and post-prandial levels. If these continue to remain high, it is best advised to consult an endocrinologist. Hope this is helpful. Take care!

I have been diagnosed with type II diabetes, and my physician at the time immediately put me on actoplusmet (no discussion of diet and excersise control first). I told him that I previously had gestational diabetes that once on diet alone caused my blood sugar levels to drop so low that the meter read in the 40's and sometimes just LOW. The nutritionsts then changed my diet so that it was double portion sizes and everything read perfectly.

I have always suspected that I had hypoglycemia (by which I mean the chronic kind, whatever that may be called). I have all the classic symptoms, as my mother says. I need to eat every 2-4 hours, otherwise I become very lethargic, even rude. That's on the outside - inside I feel hungry, nauseous, have a headache, etc. I once passed out in high school because I hadn't eaten enough one day. I recently had a "physical" for a life insurance policy.

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.

Okay, first some history about myself, I suffered a panic attack in Nov. 06 and ever since then have suffered from a lot of anxiety. I'm not very active and don't really eat the best diet. For a few years now, in between meals I would feel kinda shaky and feel that I needed to eat. I asked a friend who happens to be a nutrisionist and she said it might be hypoglycemia. Now to my question or I guess concern.

The best test for reactive hypoglycemia (when the body reacts to either the person not eating enough carbs OR when the person eats something that triggers the pancreas to produce insulin by overproducing insulin, therefore causing the hypoglycemia) is the glucose tolerance test. The lab will draw a fasting blood sugar and then have you drink a very sweet solution, allow you time to digest it, and then draw more blood to see whether this syrup caused your glucose levels to change dramatically.

could this be a symtpom of hypoglycemia? I have done some reading, and it sounds like it might be. Could sugar and white flour or alcohol be causing this? The rapid heart rate and anxiety last about 15 minutes....usually I take an ativan, but have in the passed had raisans and that seems to help? I think? I am so concerned and confused. I also have a nervous/tremor feeling and do feel hungry a lot and crave carbs....

hi i am hoping that someone can help me i have pretty much been dealing with low blood sugar for as long as i can remmber but all the diets that i find for it is tring to advoid the spikes so you dont go low well i dont have the spikes so the diet isnt working for me. i am usually in the 70s & 80s mostly 80s 2 hours or less after i eat . can someone tell me what your suppost to do if you dont get the spikes but the lows. thank you.

Ever since I was 10 I've hd these spells and have been diagnosed for hypoglycemia but they are always befor or ater I eat. It come on so quickly and stong and they have been getting worse.

I don’t want to go on any anti depressants as I was on them for a few years in 2013 till 2017. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi - I'm new here. I have pre-diabetes (about 2 years now) and have autoimmune degenerative neuropathy (CIDP for 26 years) unrelated to diabetes. I am not overweight, and am 32 years of age. My question is: does inflammation in the nervous system cause alterations in glucose metabolism? I'm currently having multiple daily bouts of hypoglycemia - my doctors can't/won't answer my question. I'm taking IVIG, Imuran and Ultram - no steroids or antidiabetics.

I would see your doctor about this very soon, as folks with hypoglycemia may develop diabetes later on. 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 this IS hypoglycemia, you can do a lot to help yourself by making some changes in diet. Folks who live with hypoglycemia often avoid all forms of caffiene, which can speed up the body's functions and therefore increase the pancreas' dump of insulin. Also, many hypoglycemic people avoid all simple sugars and many find some relief in staying on a fairly low carb diet so as not to stimulate the over-active pancreas.

Some doctors give lots of direction and hook you up with a Diabetic Educator and some just give you a prescription and wish you luck. I encourage you to learn about diet and exercise and about what works to control your blood sugar. Everyone is different. When you say you "have the hypoglycemia symptom" what readings are you getting? If you are truly low (some say under 70, some under 60) you need to treat it, but you are probably overtreating it by eating lots of yummy sweats.

Recently I started passing out and my doctor ordered a 5 hour fasting. About hour 3 I crashed to a blood sugar level of about 37. I have met with a nutritionist and I am trying to adhere to this diet. However, it isn't making me feel any better. My head is very cloudy and I have difficulty concentrating. My head hurts constently and I can't sleep well at night. My eyes burn and sometimes I just feel like I am zoned out.

My diet is made up of regular meals every 3 hours of protein, fats and carbs to keep hypoglycemia at bay. My question is will there or could there be bad issues having both low blood sugar and high blood pressure at the same time? or are these both two different issues that when combined wont add or increase symptoms?

I am wondering if my 15yo son's symptoms which began recently could be diabetes. Initially I thought of epilepsy but now not so sure. He had an inital seizure a few weeks ago after a night with no sleep. He said he felt weird, his eyes rolled back and he began to convulse. Not sure how long that lasted. Since then he has been fine till yesterday and today he has said he felt dizzy and thought he may be going to have a seizure again.
