Hypoglycemia

My husband has suffered from hypoglycemia for many years and was told be his GP after extensive tests he did not know what to do and suggested he go to the library and read a book!!!!!

We were horrified, speechless — if you know the symptoms you will understand, so I decided to go surfing—some kind soul had an article of their experiences with hypo and made the suggestion the best thing they had ever read on the subject was one chapter in Dr Atkin New Revolution Diet.

I am please to say his health has improved so much it is amazing and that is with a substantial reduction in eating carbohydrates. It is the unstable rather than low blood sugar levels we have addressed.


Yes we recommend Low Carb Eating for Hypoglycemia

Symptoms of Hypoglycemia: sweating, tiredness, anxiety, palpitations, drowsiness seizures, trembling, headaches , blurred or double vision, irritability, hunger, confusion.  Some people may have some or all these symptoms. Hypoglycemia at night time is common but is easily missed, Nightmares, sweating, restlessness and waking with a headache may be symptoms of nocturnal hypos. from Extra Care News

There are three categories of hypoglycemia: (1) iatrogenic/ such as conditions surgically induced following procedures involving the gastrointestinal tract; (2) spontaneous, such as conditions caused by tumors of the pancreas/ and (3) reactive hypoglycemia, which we have discussed and is by far the most common form. Insulin and oral hypo-glycemic agents are the most common medica­tions responsible for hypoglycemia. Persons with significant symptoms of hypoglycemia should certainly consult their physicians for competent professional advice. However/ in the majority of cases/ hypoglycemia is purely a result of eating a meal rich in high-glycemic carbohydrates. You frequently can avoid the symptoms associated with low blood sugar level by following the SUGAR BUSTERS! lifestyle.

There is much written of the web about hypo — for us - low carb makes a big difference!
