HYPOGLYCEMIA....I need some help

Hello. I have had this hypoglycemia going on for about 2 y3ears now. My liver labs are normal but I literally have to eat all the time. I keep protein in me but the carbs seem to help. This is out of control. I carry a back pack of food with me at all times! What else can be causing this??? what do you think?

You might be interested in reading about cinnamon.  It balances the body's sugar levels.  Takes it down if too high and brings it up, if too low.  I think it's safe for people with diabetes, but they may have to adjust their medications.  Check with doctors, of course.

I don't understand your saying that glucose is not sugar.  I thought it was a very simple form of sugar.

Blessings on your and all our journeys through this disease.

My wife is having the same problem with hypoglycemia. Our llmd said that the antibiotics can cause hypoglycemia in people who are susceptible to it. She told my wife to eat small snacks like cheese and crackers or nuts throughout the day to keep it under control.

Green supplements and/or fresh organic fruit (berries for their antioxidants) are good to blend ahead and carry. Shake and drink. Keeping protein in every 2-3 hours can help.

There are two products you can discuss w/your LLMDs or physicians that may be of help in between meals. I am sure there are a few others of quality and value as well; but Thorne Medi-Clear and Sustain pack a powerful punch.

Identifying additional deficiencies such as anemia (whether folic acid or B12), hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, pre-diabetic or diabetes as well as a host of others - and bringing these into balance can make all the difference in your body' ability to maintain.

Parasites, candida, metals are huge issues to consider.

Detoxing to ensure the toxic load is down thus utilizing less of your resources is important; but only if you are replenishing the good.

There's so much more. It takes time to identify and address each issue in a pecking order; but diet and nutrition are huge contributors.

Blessings,

Chromium supplementation can help with blood sugar management, too.

thank you all. I am going to quit complaining and just eat more! wow. I never thought that eating would become such a job.

You might give the herb (or tea) jiaogulan a try as it stablilizes the blood sugar. It is also a very powerful antioxidant, helps reduce inflammation and regulates energy and blood pressure. Google it for more information. It is used to treat insulin resistance and diabetes.
I found out about because a nationally recognized equine nutritionist uses this herb to treat horses with insulin resistance which can cause a painful condition called laminitis which is when toxins building up in the blood, restricts circulation in the feet causing the tissue (laminae) to literally die. Jiaogulan has been used very successfully to stop the inflammation and many horses have been restored to health by it. The cause of the laminitis is usually diet related from too much sugar in the hay/grain. So if you have anything out of balance with sugar in the blood, jiaogulan will help to balance it. Cinammon is another thing that she uses as it acts like insulin.

I was having similar issues...having to eat every 1-3 hours. It was so exhausting eating so often, I was even eating twice in the night. I recently switched to a Keto Diet and have had success! I'm now only need to eat every 5-6 hours! But im a bit nervous so I'm still eating every 3-5 hours and once in the night. Stay away from sugar and carbs. Glucose tabs are made of dextrose with is the simplest form of sugar, so only use those if you are having a hypoglycemic episode.

I have heard that as you treat the Lyme Bacteria, things get better. So chin up, there is hope!
