Low blood sugar

I was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia and was feeling just awful until this was discovered..... I changed how I eat (again) to having a protein, vegie and fruit diet with an avoidance of major carbohydrates.....plus I eat every two to three hours, which has helped me feel better, too.... Since doing this, I am less tired and feel more energetic....I am less hungry and started to lose weight again after being stalled for the past few months.... I am sticking to protein bars and fruit for breakfast and lunch with raw vegies for snacks in between.....then for supper I will have chicken breast, salad and cooked vegies.....bedtime snack is usually carb control yogurt with Fiber One....it is working for me and I hope this helps others, too.

Glad to hear that your "yukkiness" was diaganosed and you are on the road to recovery! I, too, sometimes suffer from low-blood surger drops during the day and know that it is simply from poor food choices. Thanks for your food suggestions.... I am collecting all the advice I can so that I can get back on track with the final few pounds!! Have a great day! Hugs! Kristi

Hi Tanja - I take in about 150+ grams of protein a day, but I have MANY mini-meals, and this is not only good for absorption, but it is so easy to tolerate in the pouch. For example: I woke up and had an Edge Cafe Caramel Protein Shake in the can...I like these, and it gives 15 grams of protein. Upon arrival to work, I had a sugar-free cinnamon Swirl instant oatmeal. Tasted great and went down nice and warm (it's raining here LOL)... In about an hour or so I will have a Snickers Marathon Low Carb Protein Bar - 15 grams of protein. Later, I will have another shake. And so on - you get the idea...I also eat very nice, balanced dinners which are always some type of meat, chicken, or fish, grilled or baked (not fried or breaded or anything like that), with some fresh veggies, and I usually stay away from high glycemic carbs like pasta, rice, potatoes and breads, although they are OK in small quantities... I find that by eating (NOT grazing, but planned eating) every couple of hours throughout the day, until I go to bed, my blood sugar stays great, I feel energized, I never get hungry, and my weight is constant and on track. Also, when I was in losing mode early on, and I was following this plan, I hardly ever had a plateau, and the weight came off steady and quickly, although I was also being quite active. Have a great day!! Mike
