Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar drops too low. How to determine if you have hypoglycemia?
How do you feel if a meal is delayed?
If you answered shaky, dizzy, weak, trembling, you get a headache, have a hard time concentrating, feel irritated, and if you are generally often tired, you could have hypoglycemia.
I had some
hypoglycemia for many years, when I was vegetarian, and not getting enough protein for
my body type. I didn't have any physical symptoms, but
I would get very, very irritable if a meal was delayed. I felt almost frantic,
"I Need To Eat Right
Now!!!" ( Or I am going to bite your head off!!) By eating right for my body type, my energy increased and my hypoglycemia became a thing of the past.
Many people are unaware that they have hypoglycemia as they are constantly spiking their blood sugar up. They start with a coffee in the morning, spiking themselves up and then a little later they’ll have some cereal or bread with jam. Spiking themselves back up. Then before going down
too far... at work, a 2nd coffee or perhaps a muffin or Danish as they’re still hungry. Lunch might be some refined carbs, bread or pasta, more coffee or sweets in the afternoon....and the cycle continues all day.
The dangerous thing is that hypoglycemia can be the precursor to diabetes.
If you have hypoglycemia, eating right for your body type will help enormously!
