I also have hypoglycemia, have for years. The symptoms would be dizziness, cold sweats, feeling sick and queasy, lightheadedness, etc when your blood sugar is low. If these symptoms go away soon after you eat something with carbs or sugar this is probably what it is. Just remember that in order for your blood sugar to be stable you must have protein along with whatever you are eating to keep your blood sugar up. Protein is what stabilizes your blood sugar. Try to snack on things like Chicken, meats, nuts, dairy products, etc. Also try to eat carbs/sugars that break down slower in your body such as whole wheats and whole grains. Natural sugars are better than added sugars, so it's better to snack on fresh fruit, etc than other sugary snacks. And basically, depending on the severity of your hypoglycemia, you should generally avoid too much sugar and follow a diet similar to a diabetic. Post edited by: peetred, at: 02/21/2008 20:06 |
"As someone with Bipolar II, it is not easy finding people who understand. Here at MD Junction, EVERYONE understands. What an incredible feeling it is knowing that I don't have to deal with this disorder alone. MD Junction is the best resource I have found on the internet as support for just about any mental or physical condition." (Colleenj)
wrong tootpaste or something) but anyway, friends outside of this site that have fibro, also have hypolycemia. It is not uncommon at all to have both. I'm not a dr, but I would recommend you have your TSH for your thyroid done. I've had hypoglycemia for years. And it looked like it would stay that way, but after they nuked and destroyed my thyroid and 8 tumors off of it 4 years ago I began to have more trouble with low blood sugar (easier to spell
) Sadly, just a few weeks ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. We are hoping that it was medicine induced (Repuip). Am coming off of the Requip, so sure hope the high blood sugar goes away and the low comes back. But, in all this mumble jumble, yes I and a lot of fibro friends have low blood sugar.
