Hypoglycemia

I would experience low sugar spells before the following control habits. I have been on a dietitian planned diet (6-7 small balanced meals) and exercise daily. Immediately after I eat, I feel extremely heavy in my head and very sluggish. It takes 30-45 minutes for the feeling to subside before I feel fine again....

Thanks for the groovy webpage, but I'm looking for a diet for "reactive hypoglycemia". I couldn't find anything on your site using my "find" feature. Do you know where one goes for that information? Thanks Click on the nutrition topic hypoglycemia which is listed in a column on the left side of Ask the Dietitian's...

I was tested for hypoglycemia (fasting and then a blood test) and I was found to be negative. But after eating high sugar foods, such as pastries, donuts, etc. my stomach feels funny and I feel tired. What's causing the tiredness? I do not have diabetes either, by the way.

Frequent meals (6 times a day) improved my health substantially. My internist prescribed me a low carbohydrate - high protein diet and...

I was surfing the net trying to find all the info I could find on hypoglycemia. I am a recovering bulimic. Both my parents are alcoholics. My father is a "rageaholic". I think this stems from a sugar disorder. I am also in recovery for money issues. I am debt free, but I still use...

I notice there is nothing in your topics about the failure of the adrenal glands because of Addison disease. I was assumed to have anorexia because of an inability to eat and it took ten years of suffering before I was finally diagnosed correctly and my life literally saved. Why isn't this disease looked...
