Hopefully you do not have a deeper problem-but check it out-it has een very helpful for me. Blessings Michelle |
| Comments: I just found out yesterday that I have a mild case of hypoglycemia. I have to go for blood tests and see a nutritionist. I have little information on this topic and am looking for more. How could this happen all of a sudden and i am only in my early twe ties!!!? i would appreciate any help, thank you! |
| Comments: I have been searching the web and stores like crazy trying to learn alittle more about hypoglycimia. on Aug 3rd my 6 year old son was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycimia, he is so little and so sacred . Its horribles that things like this have to affect oeple so young. Im glad to hear that you are just border line and you dont have to take shots the Dr. says my son is one step away from taking the shots... but first we are going to try and control it with his diet .. I am praying for him to never have t be on insulin and although I do not know your name I will say a prayer for you too I hope that everything turns out well for you ... and may your life be filled with love and happiness your friend Betty Boop! |

| Comments: I went to the doctor about 1 year ago because I was experiencing the symptoms of dizziness, being tired all the time, and angry, and all of that stuff. I thought that I was going through depression. I never would have thought that i was like you are: bo derline hypoglocemic/diabetic. Diabetes runs really high in my family. I am 20 years old, and dealing with this. My doctor didn't really tell me a diet. She just said to eat this and stay away from that. Do you have a copy of your diet? If you do, c uld you please send it to me at my e-mail address? I would really appreciate it. Your page was very informative, and I am glad to see that I am not the only one going through this. :) |
| Comments: Thanks so much! Your page was the best! |

| Comments: I have been told by two endocrinologist that my syptoms are strees related, because my blood sugar levels are not belwo 50. Well, I have very little to no stress. I am seeking assistance, understanding and support. What is the Atkins diet? |
| Comments: Hello, My name is Kevin and I am 16. I just finished reading your site and I felt like I was reading my own story. I was told I was hypoglycimic when I was 14. This was the worse news I could think of until the doctor told me that if I didn't back off n the sweets that I would be diabetic. Me and Sweets go hand in hand. My family are big sweet eaters. At first, I didn't believe the doctor until I almost passed out. Then I figured I would slowly lay of the sweets, and it has worked, but it still is ard at Thanksgiving looking at the tasty fudge. But I will get through this and hopefully never become diabetic. Thanks. Kevin |
| Comments: I'm a severe hypoglycemic, I used to be on the diet religiously. Unfortuneately, I let someone talk me into regular food and am having a hard time getting back on the diet. I lost an immense amount of weight(which was needed) It takes about six to eight weeks to see the benefits of the diet, but don't give up, it will make you feel better in the long run. Keep your fingers crossed that I can get back on the wagon. |

| Comments: it can be a very scary thing when its not monitored by nutrition ,exercise and sleep.Ive learned to cut out th sweets and all the carbs, with the exception of a sandwich.And when i mess up like I did last night{I had pasta} my body lets me know it.I faint !!so if youve never been faithful in the past this is one thing to be faithful to!!! |
| Comments: I was diagnosed as a true hypoglycimic when I was 24. But now I am 40 and I am a mess. I have not followed my diet for years, and the symtoms are coming back so strong. I haven't seen a dr for this for 16 years either, with no insurance I am looking fo new info on the net! |
| Comments: I am also 19 and have been diagnosed with the "borderline" condition. I am glad to know I am not craxy that someone else knows what I am talking about sence the Dr's do not belive me. |
| Comments: Hi, Im not sure if I already sent you this but there are chocolate treats made for diabetics and hypoglycemics tat are delicious if not a little pricey. Try Shoppers Drugmart or your local health food store. |
| Comments: Hi, I just read through your site and I wanted to share my experience with you. My name is Sarah, I am 20 years old and I was dignosed with hypoglycemia at age 15. In one year I dropped 15 lbs and my condition still had not improved. In fact, because of m extreme fatigue, I lost a year of school. I went back to Sick Kids Hospital and had them run some more tests. As it turned out, I did not have hypoglycemia but Panic Disorder which is (apparently) a common misdiagnosis. I thought that you might like to p st this info on your site, as hypoglycemia shares common symptoms with a lot of other disorders. In the end, I lost 2 years because of the misdiagnosis. Dont let that happen to you. I hope things go really well for you, dont worry, it gets easier with tim . Sarah |
| Comments: It kinda surprised when you said that you had to stay off the sugar. I find that when the low blood sugar symptoms come on I feel better if I eat something with sugar. E-mail me and fill me in on the difference of not having sugar and having sugar when th symptoms come on. I find that as long as I eat something in the morning I usually feel great the rest of the day, providing I eat at noon and sometime after five. But that can vary and I may have to eat something around three. But if I don't eat in the m rning it usually means trouble around ten in the morning and I start getting weak and faint and shakey and irritable and all that noise. Now thats when the candy comes into play and in a few minutes I feel fine. And a word of advice: Don't mistake the sym toms of low blood sugar with the weakness of just being hungry. Thanks for the info dude!! |
| Comments: They did not know what was wrong with me for a long time. I just knew that people did not get this dizzy this many times in one day and lasting for weeks. After many doctors one finally suggesting a blood sugar level test and bingo. A real answer. |
| Comments: i do and and i am trying to "deal" with it. the first day was yesterday with no sodas and no candy and..... NOTHING.. I felt like an adict trying to quit. I was sick all day.. emotional and wanted to cry. All over a soda and candy. I have had about -4 sodas a day for about 15 years and now nothing. Its killing me. Thanks for sharing your story. |

| Comments: I am almost positive that I have Hypoglycemia, but I have been tested once and it came out fine. I am getting tested again tomorrow morning. My grandfather tested my sugar with the Glucometer and it showed that my sugar was only 37. For some reason the te ts that the las take don't show that I am low. I know I have Hypoglycemia-I have all of the symptoms. Thanks for the info, it was of great help. |
| Comments: THANK YOU SO MUCH |
| Comments: i was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and my doctor put me on the atkins diet....lost 60 pounds and got my life back.. you do have to watch your sugar and carbs carefully..luckily for me i learned to get creative with nutrasweet! |
| Comments: I am going for a gtt test on monday. The doctor thinks I have HG. Even with the "diet" so far I haven't felt much better. At least, I'm a little more reassured, Thanks. |
| Comments: Two recommendations: 1. Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology (www.VedicVibration.com) and 2. "Enter the Zone" by Barry Sears (www.enterthezone.com) All the best! |
| Comments: So many people suffering from this insidious health problem. I was diagnosed when I was 35, but the suspicion was there that I had been hypoglycemic for at least 2-3 years before then...This is sad really, when you are crying out for help exhibiting vario s symptoms and you are accused of being; moody, forever hungry, having a nature that is highly exitable one minute and morose the next, dizzy, head aches, confusion, agitation, thirst occasionally & could kill to get to the fridge! (or cupboard for someth ng which would 'make IT better'), God, lets face it, anyone reading this stuff would assume that we had manic depression, bulimia, diabetes etc. It is insidious, because we can't always say what is wrong with us. It takes that diagnosis, and then you sti l sometimes can't find a doctor that can give you 'proper assistance'. Dietitions can be few and far between with indepth knowledge on this subject. WHAT DO WE DO? well thank god for web sites like this! for one, because it allows us to share our information with each other and helps us to realise we are 'not alone' and we a e not freaks'. We have a 'condition' that we have to moniter with care, we have to care about our selves enough to try to do right by our selves, and we have to support each other. I still struggle with my condition, I hate every day of it. I am very obese, struggle getting my self to a course of studies every day at a Uni' as a mature age student where I need optimum concentration. Each day that I get through is fantastic, I still can't find a doctor where I live in Victoria, Australia to t ll me what 'type' of hypoglycemic I am (as this would greatly assist), but I am hanging on in there... and getting a great deal of information assiting me to become more knowlegable about this 'condition' with fellow sufferers. Thank you for your time and allowing you to share. Dawn |
| Comments: Right now, I am wrting to you with a blood fasting level of 48. Am I shaky? Of course I am. Do I have to watch watch what I eat? Every second of the day. For as long as I can remember I have had all the classic symptoms. My best advice is (in no particula order)to take a stress B complex vitamin (not timed released) with breakfast and lunch. Avoid caffeine (it makes the symptoms worse.) Make sure you never let more than an hour or two go by without eating something. Snack before you shower, snack before y u go to bed. Eat your largest meal between noon and 4pm. Don't eat more than 400 to 600 calories at any one sitting. Learn what high glycemic foods are and avoid them like the plague. (you can search the net for that or maybe try a site like "The Zone Die ".) I keep emergency food everywhere, like the car, work, my pocketbook, pockets in my coats. Try raw almonds, low glycemic protien bars (NOT 40-30-30 Bars, they are waaaaay tooooo sweet, and will set you into a tailspin.) There are ATKINS bars at some su ermarkets and also supplement stores that cater to bodybuilders will have a variety of low glycemic bars and powders that you can mix with milk or water. I urge you to read as much as you can to learn how to keep your hormone levels at an even keel. Again the ZONE site may provide something useful or go to the bookstore and look at the books that address this issue in the nutrition section. Engage in cardiovascular exercise at least every other day. This will help to stabilize your hormone levels. I have een running for 30 years. Whenever I get lazy, my symptoms flare up. I go out for about 30 minutes. Nothing fancy. You want to be in the fat burning zone. A real general rule of thumb for when that is is to run at the rate at which you would be able to ho d a conversation (60 or 70% of your age predicted max heart rate) Question: Were you given alot of antibiotics as a child? There are links to Hypoglycemia and heavy antibiotic use. I could go on and on but I have to get going. Feel free to contact me. I' extremely busy, but I promise to contact anyone who is suffering and would like my advice. Good Luck! |

| Comments: i just found out i have it, im looking for all the info i can find. thanks, Lisa |
| Comments: I'm 18 and I was told by my doctor I was Hypoglycemic and was told nothing else. Not told what to eat or what not to or even yet what type I am. Until reading this page I didn't even know there was different types. |
| Comments: Hi there!! I enjoyed hearing about your hypoglycemia concerns. My symptoms started out as dizziness and I eventually started losing consciousness. My physician diagnosed "induced" hypoglycemia. She thinks that my low protein diet (i'm vegetarian) may ave induced it! It's hard trying to maintain the strict diet. I occasionally slip, but I definitely pay for it when I do. Thanks for the informative page, it's nice to share concerns with someone else (a lot of people think I'm making it up). |

| Comments: My Granny has hypoglycemia. I also had to do an English paper in college on Hypoglycemia. You are right, it is hard to find stuff about it. I wish you luck on living with it, it is a terrible thing to have to watch your diet so strictly and not have an sugar! Sincerely, Amber |
| Comments: Thanks for putting this page on the net as i work for a company making insulins so i know the importance of this information

| Comments: Thanks for you page. My wife has just started her diet yesterday and I was exspecting results quickly, I can better understand what she is going through and I realilze it will take some time to get everything under control.I wish everyone well in there fi ht to get the highs and the low under control. |
| Comments: Is there a specific test that is done to determine whether a person has hypoglycemia? If yes, what sort of test? |
| Comments: I was recently diagnosed as reactive hypoglycemic. My doctor recommended balanced carbs/proteins as well as eating every two hours and NO sugar at all. I am glad to see I am not the only person to realize my whole life has changed because of this condit on. Thank you for the insite. |
| Comments: Hi. My name is Al, i am 47 and for most of my life, I have had these episodes of "low blood sugar" as i have always called them. I get real shakey, vision gets "funny", mood swings a bit, I get kinda forgetful and if I let it go, which I have never done, fear i would pass out. It usually happens towards lunchtime and usually only if I have eaten breakfast...which for me is a bowel of cereal (talk about a sugar load). I also drink 60 oz. or more of coffee a day. I need that to get going in the AM. Anyway, I have for some time suspected that I am Hypoglycemic and am going to try the diet regimine and see if it helps. Good luck with your own situation. Know that there are a ton of us unsuspecting souls out here. |
| Comments: I wish I could find a diet that would help me,If I eat or drink sweets within 1/2,I'm so sleepy,after my 3rd cup of coffee I'm feeling drogy.If I don't eat I have lots of energy,this is weird to me.My sister has this problem,she said to drink lots of wate ,which I do and to try a powerbar when I want something sweet. What kind of test do I get.I went to the dr. once they seem to think nothing is wrong,Well I know my body,and when something isn't right.Guess I need a Dr. that knows about this. |
| Comments: I have recently been told by my doctor that she thinks I may have hypoglycemia. It frightens me that there is so much contradictory information on this subject out there. One place tells me to eat bread another one says to avoid it. Same with sugars. am so confused and I don't want this to develop into diabetes. Also in the future I plan to have children and I worry what will happen. If you could send me any information at all on this that you know to be proven as a fact please send it to me. I see you listed yourself as "functional hypoglycemic." What are the differences? What are the differences? How do I know which one I am? Which diet to take? Please help. Thank you for creating a homepage that really makes a difference in people's lives. ecky |
| Comments: I'm 54. Both my sisters developed diabetes in their 40's. I am always right on target when my sister tests by blood sugar. Usually around 70-80. I have all the symptoms. I get frequent headaches, depression, insomnia (sometimes I am up til 3 or 4 a.m I am lethargic, moody, etc. I have had occurances in the last year that have sort of frightened me, but I never put two and two together. All of a sudden, I will get shaky, sweaty, and can't hardly think straight. I just feel like if I don't eat some hing RIGHT NOW, I'm gonna pass out. But the problem is, I don't really know what I should be eating or not be eating. I am planning to call my doctor on Monday. I also have have some problem with my memory, and was afraid I was getting alzheimers. Doe any of this sound familiar? I will let you know what happens. It's really a "crap shoot" trying to find a doctor who knows what he's talking about. Thank God for the internet, huh? |
| Comments: Hi , I am diagnosed with hypoglycemia this summer. I am having dizziness, light headedness and fatigue all the time. I do not get may head aches. I feel faintness frequently. My doctor first put me on Atkins diet. It was bad but I followed the orders!! Now I kind of developed my own diet according to what I like to eat and what I have to eat. I measure everyhting. I do not eat and refined sugar. I eat one citrus fruit a day. I eat vegetables and meat ang eggs and cheese. I also eat half a cup od dry beans. I at 3 meals + 2 or 3 snacka in between. This diet helps most of the time but there are days that I feel awfull. I also take vitamin supplements. Multi-vitamin + extra B and C and Chromium. Pantotenoic Acid is very good, it helps to convert what you eat in o energy. Could you be more specific about your diet, what you eat. There are some sources tell you not to eat any beans, nuts or even fruits and on the other hand there are others tell you that is what you should be eating. I get confuse sometimes. My do tor told me as long as I balance, I can eat complex carbs and fruit. I will really appreciate if you get back to me on that and tell me what kind of a diet you do. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care. |
| Comments: i went to the doc. and they told me i have hypoglycemia, dysautonomia, and mitrovalve prolapse. My body produces 2.5 times too much insulin. I do not eat any sugar and get head aches all the time. (i know how you feel) They told me to eat 6 meals a day as well but i have no appetite unless my sugar levels throw me for a loop which is not unusual. It is not fun!! I am 19 also. It is neat to know someone else can sort of identify with me. Lots of people look at me like I am crazy when I tell them what is wrong with me. They just don't understand how I feel. One minute I feel fine and the next I am sick and then i f el like I am going to up-chuck if I look at a bite of food. I would like you to let me know how you are doing and if you find any new info because I don't know much about this either. It is all new to me. |

| Comments: Cute site. I like the personal notes, you are not weird. |
| Comments: I was diagnosed as hypoglcemic over 10 years ago, when I was a pre-teen. It was hard for me to change my eating habits because I'm very picky and I didn't want to be fat. I survived. Now, I am having trouble with miscarriages. If you know of any way t at I may be able to access studies about the combination of hypoglcemia and pregnancy, please email me. I feel that my problem with pregnancy may be connected to low blood sugar. Thank you. Cynthia |

| Comments: Just looking to find out what it is, in the process of being tested for it. |
| Comments: I am 22 and just found out that I'm hypoglycemic. Throughout High School I was very active in Cross Country and Track. After I graduated my schedule went out the door with college courses. I was still running, and doing several other physical activitie . I started getting dizzy and feeling like I was going to pass out, especilly during exercizing. It's taken the stupid doctors around my area 2 1/2 years to figure out that I'm hypoglycemic. After a 3hr GTT my blood sugar dropped to 49 when 70-115 is n rmal. I was on the verge of passing out. I'm trying to set up a diet myself, because I've had absoutly no help from my doctor. I was just told high protein, low carb. and eat every 3 hrs. In the meanwhile I've gained 30 lbs. and want to scream at my d ctor who says my weight is fine. I'm glad to hear that your doctors are being so much help with your diet. Good Luck. |
| Comments: This is no offense to you or your web page. Actually, I find it good therapy for me to voice myself on this subject (finally). My ex-wife stated in a letter to the court that hypoglycemia is not a disease, but a condition. After much reading about the "co dition" I stumbled onto an unusual definition of the word "disease". It is actually derived from a Greek word (one which I've since forgotten) that sort of splits up the word for better perspective. The word is dis - ease, meaning being ill at ease with o eself for no particular reason. It simply means feeling pretty rotten at that point in time. Now, I don't know how you feel when your blood sugar drops, but I feel very ill at ease with the whole world. It's interesting how, in so many areas, we've attune ourselves to the rampant "double-speak" that sneaks in our language over time and technological advances. Again, please don't take this personally or offensively. Just take it as a quick "get-back-to-the-basics" moment. Thank you for taking the time to c eate this web page. You've done something I only ponder about, and have done it quite well. |
| Comments: I wanted to stop and say hi and I hope you are better now. I have a 7 yr old daughter who is undergoing testing for hypoglycemia. She has had stomach aches for 6 months and during the blood testing her fasting blood sugar registered 29. (I believe this is probably a lab error because she was acting fine.) The next day she was tested again (after eating breakfast) and it registered 87. (I think it should have been higher after a meal.) She is scheduled for a GTT this week to find out for sure. I had g stational diabetes while pregnant with her and was again diagnosed 5 years ago with diabetes. Fortunatley, I do not have to take medicine any longer as it is controlled by diet. The medicine actually made me feel worse. I tried 3 or 4 different kinds. I hope her tests turn out negative and it was an error, but am ready to face the lifestyle changes for her that you say you had to face. Good luck to you and drop me an email to let me know how you are. Thanks for your page. |

| Comments: I have been living with hypoglycemia for 12 years now and am still getting used to it. It's difficult to stay on the high protein diet but I know that if I don't, I will develop Diabetes. Staying on the diet also helps you feel better, gives you more en rgy, and less headaches. Good luck!! |

| Comments: there are many many web pages on hypoglycemia now... I have been hypoglycemic for 40 years, its a life change when you cannot eat things like others... once you get use to it, and recognize all the symptoms..you can live with it. mine is moderate to seve e at times..including mini-comas. the GTT is not always the right choice, but more and more drs are realizing hypoglycemia is a real condition. I will pass your site along to others I know. LM |
| Comments: Take heart. I'm not sure when you posted this. There is a lot of diabetes and hypoglycemia in my family. Drink lots of water!!!! Watch the soda, diet that is. There's an acid in it that can make your condition worse. Mail me for info. Good Luck |
| Comments: The diet that your doctor put you on, is that a "standard hypoglycemic diet"? I can't seem to find one, and my doctor is no help at all. If you have it, can you email it to me? Thanks, best of luck Jill |
| Comments: I have been having problems for 9 weeks, Stomach Dizzy, Vaginal infection or ? fatigue, concentration,depression,forgetfulness alot,tremors. But I also have a bad pain in the back in the flank.in the left side mostly. Can hypoglycemia cause also pain like this. I appreciate if you could answer me becau e i have had lots and lots of tests all come out okay, but don't know if they checked for this. Thank you |
| Comments: Since one of my friends has this disorder I decided to do it for one of my speeches and your page was very helpful to me Thanks for all the information about Hypoglycemia. |
| Comments: COULD YOU SEND ME SOME INFO ON HYOGLYCEMIA |
| Comments: I was told I was hypoglycemic a few years ago but nothing was done. Now it's getting worse and I feel ill all the time. I'm going to the doc tonight so I hope she can sort me out. I hope you are coping with it and thanks for the information in your web page. Take care |
| Comments: I'm 32. I am often dizzy and fit all the symptoms of hypoglycemic. Diabetes is in my family history. A week ago today, I was over a friends house and started getting real dizzy and went in the house and passed right out. I couldn't get up, open my eye , and I felt like I was slipping off somewhere. My blood pressure dropped to 80/50. It was very scary...I had no control over what was happening to me. Is this similar to what happens to you when you have passed out. I'm a medical asst., so I think in one way I should know what is happening to me. My glucose was normal. I'm going to have a GTT next week...I guess I'll know more. Thanks for your info...e-mail me if you get a chance.........c...... |
| Comments: I know how you feel, I've been dealing with it for 15 years now. I'm 39 years old and I have headaches, I get dizzy and all that stuff. Yes, it's very rough to deal with, but I also get seizures with this too. I've been told by 3 doctors that epolipsy is or can be a problem with this. I also carry glucos tablets with me at all times, and my friends and family know of my problem. Now, that I have some what of a handle on it things have been going pretty good. I've seen a diet specialist, to learn work with the little foods that you are able to eat. It did help! I'm really glad that you started this page on low blood sugar, alot of people are very blind to this medical issue. Keep up the great work...and thanks! |
| Comments: I am 15 years old and I am a dancer. I know that I don't each as much as I should, but everything is so competitive in the dance world and you have to "look perfect" I'm not anorexic or buliemic, but i have noticed a lot lately that I have been getting r ally dizzy, throwing up after dance, passing out, getting cold sweats, and sometimes I get really bad headaches. I think I have hypoglycemia because the only thing that helps when I ever I get these symtoms is to have something with sugar in it. If any ne could help me, please email me. |
| Comments: I have had this terrible disorder for 1 1/2 years. Nothing seems to work. |
| Comments: I have not been feeling well lately. This morning my sister was taking her glucose level; I asked her to take mine since I was not feeling well. My reading was 64. I am afraid that I have hypoglycemia. Good luck on your diet! |
| Comments: I enjoyed reading your story... it was similar to mine. I was diagnosed a few years ago while in college. It will take discipline to stick to the diet and regular exercise, but in the long run you will see improvements in how you look and feel. Good lu k and God bless! Fletcher |
| Comments: NIce homepage..tapi tak der gambar...heheh |

| Comments: I am only thirteen. No one understands. People don't believe you. They act like it's only possible in adults. It's not! I tried to ask my gym teacher if I could go to the nurse, because I needed some sugar and she refused, she acted like having hypo was n big deal, that it didn't do much and that I would be fine.

| Comments: I'm 15 years old and do not know if I have hypoglycemia, but I do show a lot of the symptoms and I'm a bit worried. Today for example I had not eaten anything for hours(havn't been hungry lately) and all of a sudden became very hungry, and started shakin all over. I felt dizzy and very, very tired. I complained to my parents who said it was the heat and so they got me a coke. After drinking the coke I felt much better within a few minutes. I think it was the sugar. Please email me if you can help. |
| Comments: I became hypoglycemic through excercising on Beta-blockers (blood pressure medication). Not satisfied with the "conventional" approach to treating hypoglycemia, I kept searching until I found an approach that seemed more promising. Though I have only be n on the program for a few weeks, I am beginning to feel better. Check out the book, "Diabetes and the Hypoglycemic Syndrome" by Drs. Thrash. I am interested to hear if anyone else out there has had success on this program. The program is difficult but it makes a lot of sense and seems to be the only approach that suggests a "cure." Anyone who has had success on the Thrash program, please let me know, I need all the support I can get. Thank you! |
| Comments: We were in complete agreement with everything you had to say. Roy has been through it all. Our son has the same condition, although he was diagnosed hypolgycemic and Roy was diagnosed borderline hypoglcemic. My understanding is that it is an hereditary condition, add we were told also that if unattended, it could go into diabetes. Roy and our son have known about it for almost 30 years. They both cope very well, but as you said, it was a shock to start the diet. I have seen Roy come close to passing out a few times, but he never has. I have a remedy that works for him, but I o not prescribe to other people. I give him about 1/4 of a cup of orange juice, or a little more, depending on circumstances, and he pulls himself out of it. I guess it works on the insulin that he has too much of at that time. He is 78 years old, and as decided that he will have the diet the rest of his life. I could go on for pages, but I will close this down. Don't get discouraged. There are far worse things to live with. One very positive outcome is that Roy lost 25 pounds when he went on the d et, and has perfect weight now and has no danger of becoming over weight.

| Comments: Hey! you're off to a good start with your page. my dad has had hypoglycemia for about the last 30 something years and i was diagnosed with it myself altho i'm probably borderline. 30 years ago, a hypoglycemic diagnosis was controversial. some physicians actually refused to believe that it even existed! this is one of the reasons why i think that hypoglycemia hasn't got the research attention that it deserves. one hears of various " rogrammes" for diabetics even on the radio (at least late night talk radio). i've yet to year anything like "give, so more can stand up without falling over..." i would suggest that you be very careful with so-called sugar substitutes. one of them, the active ingredient in Nutra Sweet (tm) can cause some of the symptoms of hypoglycemia or, as in my case, worse. i used to drink a lot of diet cola and was getting p nic attacks and even going agoraphobic. all of that went away after i got off of the diet cola. coincidence? i'm not sure, but my $220 an hour psychiatrist did confirm my suspiscions ("i've seen that in the research papers," quoth he) and told me to bag t e cola. whatever you do, don't give up.

| Comments: WoW, this is wonderful, not many people have even *heard* of hypoglycemia, and a lot of people i know don't take it seriously. Thanks for the site! ~gWitherspoon |
| Comments: My brothe has hypoglycemia, and had dealt with it his entire life. He does very well now, but when he was younger it was difficult. I remember him eating a popsicle, and we had to take him to the hospitol. Thanks for the page, I have sent it to him. |
| Comments: I to have low blood sugar since 1987. I was led to believe I should eat protein all day long in small amounts. Then I found out later that I should just count my carbs. It is confusing and does anyone really have the answers for us. I would like to have a good diet to follow that is a natural diet, also some receipes for desserts that are all natural. I have wasted so much food experimenting cooking with fruit juices, whole wheat flour only to take two bites and throw the rest away. I have found exerci e really helps me alot for controlling the way I feel. I am 54 years old but still young at heart. Any good natural recipes or diet please send. I never have really found out what the best diet for us is. |
| Comments: I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia when I was 5 years old. I have lived with it for 35 years, it isn't easy. Hang in there, you'll be okay if you watch your diet. :) |
| Comments: I also have hypoglycemia, but I am fortunate as the diet I am on is completely controlling my symptoms. My energy level tripled after being on the diet strictly for 10 days. |
| Comments: Thank you for making a site so informative about hypoglycemia. i never even heard about it until i saw your banner on a geoguide. |
