What can you when you are Hypoglycemic?


Question:
I recently found out I am Hypoglcemic and need to what to eat. I keep finding info that where one thing tells me that I can eat carbs and then another source will tell me not to. Can someone please clarify.

Answers:
The problem with hypoglycemia is that when you eat sugar, the pancreas produces too much insulin and that brings down your glucose level. Many people respond to that by eating sugar. If u have hypoglycemia that's the worst thing you can do. You have to stabilize your glucose level and you can do that by following a diet. If you don't do this, you will end up with diabetes.

It's best that u remove all sugars and refined carbs. U can still eat the good carbs, which are whole wheat products like whole wheat bread and pasta but nothing made from white flour!
Secondly it's good to eat a lot of vegetables and fruit but also proteins like meat, fish, eggs, cheese, yoghurt etc. Healthy fats are also important, found in vegetable oils, fish and nuts.
As for drinks, nothing with sugar (no alcohol, no soda's etc.) and drink a lot of water and herbal tea.

I know it sounds difficult, but you will get used to it and it pays off! I have hypoglycemia myself and I can see the results. I've talked to some people online and a lot of their symptons are gone. It really works!
You are low on blood glucose. Always carry a hard candy with you so that if you feel faint from those low sugar levels you can pop it into your mouth and feel better soon. You can eat carbs as part of regular meals.
