Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia diet book
hypoglycemia
Hi,
I also have Hypoglycemia, and I have focused on controlling it through diet. Have you ever heard of food's glycemic index?
It's how fast foods/sugar gets absorbed into your system.
Speaking for myself only, I prefer not to take medicine if there is a natural way "out".
I have been using the South Beach diet, and what a world of difference! I tossed all of the anti depressants, and control it all through diet alone.
Please check this book out.
First off, if you get symptoms of hypoglycaemia, you should book an appointment to see your doctor so that he can refer you to get checked out for glucose intolerance and diabetes.
You may be sent for a blood fasting blood check or given a glucose drink to find out.
All the sugary sweets and candy and simple carb foods (like cakes, biscuits, donuts) are spiking up your blood sugars very quickly, but then the sugar levels in the blood stream will plummet down very quickly too.
Hypoglycemia causes wet cold clammy skin. You would get dizzy too. Keep a log book of your symptoms and show your doctor.
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.
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.
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.
I too lack concentration, like I am unable to function as a whole. I have been able to manage it. I got the book Hypoglycemia for Dummies. Hopefully this is what you have. Its quite managable really once you know what it is,
Much luck to you!
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.
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.
I have hypotension, as well, and have similar episodes. I also have an issue with blood glucose levels that drop (hypoglycemia) and recover quickly. Both of these issues can produce, what's similar to a hot flash with a "buzz", but it usually only lasts a short time, unless I go into a full hypoglycemic attack, which is totally different.
I doubt you'd be going from hypo to hyper that quickly, but I'm the last person to say anything is impossible.
Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. As a fasting blood glucose result, 80 is on the low end of the ok range, but it is in the ok range.
If your daughter will develop diabetes, or just hypoglycemia, there is nothing known that you can do to prevent it. You can keep your family, daughter included, more healthy through exercise and a better diet with more fruits and grains, for example, but that won't stop hypoglycemia in your daughter.
Some people (for instance, the folks who put out the Atkins diet) believe that the high-carbohydrate diet that is typical of the American way of life is perhaps to blame for so many people having hypoglycemia.
The not eating part is not so bad because you just book an early appointment and fast overnight. ***** not having breakfast though. Don't be too worried about it. The first test is easy to fail because all it takes it the timing to be slightly wrong or you ate too much sugar that day etc. This gives them a clear picture. If it comes back positive they will help you work out an eating plan to manage your sugar.
