Hypoglycemia

she can try taking two tablespoons of flax seed oil before bed and having

instead of eating sugar during a hypo attack (setting herself up for an

I feel the need to reply to the conversation on hypoglycemia, I was very

bad for a few years with it. Constantly having my blood sugar go very high

after a meal, then dropping very fast and having a hypo attack. I have

found through a food elimination diet that I was going very high from the

foods I was allergic/intolerant to. Since I put myself on an elimination

diet, I don't go high and I don't fall as low as often. I still try to eat

smaller meals more often and eat protein at eat meal, but I am a new person

since discovering this.

Get a hair analysis done to see what minerals you might be lacking. I

did, and found that I was extremely lacking in manganese. When I

started taking manganese supplements, my blood sugar problems

vanished. Try reading " The Zone " and see if it fits you. You may

have " Syndrome X " , insulin resistence. If so, a new dietary lifestyle

will be in order. This has helped me a lot.

Check out the site: http://hypoglycemia.freeyellow.com/ Hypoglycemia FAQ

and Overview.

A good supplement to try is Chromium. It should stabalise your bloodsugar

(somewhat) and alleviate the cravings for suger. I haven't tried it yet,

but I've heard it mentioned in many different sources.

As for the nuts - nuts usually contain mold. I'd say be very careful about

it.

good luck!

Cravings of any food usually mean that the food is feeding the candida

and/or you have an allergy to it.

Symptoms of hypoglycemia are ravenous hunger, shakiness, feeling

faint, etc. Just having a craving for sugar just means the candida is

begging to be fed.

Hi Lainie,

I also have hypoglycemia, I don't have babesia. From what I understand the bacteria prevents glucose from entering the cell, therefore we have insulin resistance. If the cell will not let glucose in the body signals that there is no glucose.

I am on actos for insulin resistance, I am not diabetic or have high blood sugar. But apparently this is suppose to help with insulin resistance.

[ ] hypoglycemia

My daughter was recently diagnosed with hypoglycemia.. Does anyone have info on what/or if the relationship between lyme/babesia and hypoglycemia might be? Do we know if it is a direct result of damage to particular glands or organs (i.e. pancreas)?

Thanks.

BOB WROTE:

THERE IS A DEFINITE LINK BETWEEN DIABETES AND LYME DISEASE. AT

THE PRESENT TIME IT IS THOUGHT THAT THE LYME SPIROCHETE EITHER GETS INTO

THE PANCREAS AND AFFECTS THE PRODUCTION OF INSULIN AND/OR IT GETS INTO

THE CELLS OF THE BODY AND PREVENTS THE CELLS FROM USING THE INSULIN

CORRECTLY. YOU WILL FIND THAT PRESENT DAY ENDOCRONOLOGISTS DO NOT HAVE A

CLUE CONCERNING LYME AND ITS EFFECT ON BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS.

THERE IS PRESENTLY AN EPIDEMIC OF DIABETES IN THIS COUNTRY.

FOR PROOF OF THAT JUST TRY TO GET AN APPOINTMENT QUICKLY AT YOUR LOCAL

ENDOCRONOLOGIST'S OFFICE. WHILE OTHERS FEEL THAT OBESITY AND LACK OF

EXERCISE IN THE AMERICAN LIFESTYLE ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS EPIDEMIC

IT IS MY OPINION THAT INFECTIONS SUCH AS LYME ARE UNKNOWINGLY CAUSING A

LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THESE CASES.

The ONLY thing that worked, and worked relatively quickly (within

days, after 7 years of MDs and myself trying things) was Dr. Hulda

's zapper.

You can make one quickly by connecting the output of a pulse generator

to two 6 " copper pipes (about 1 " diameter). Set the pulse generator

to a repetition rate of about 2,000 Hz, 50% duty cycle and try for the

best square wave with a peak at about 9-10 volts (12 volts is better).

Hold a copper pipe in each hand (with the pulse generator on) and rest

the back of your hand against your face. It helps to dampen your

hands first (better conductivity with the pipe and your face). I

rested the back of my fingers against my cheekbones when I used it.

The protocol is to hold the pipes for 7 minutes, take a 20 minute

break, repeat hold for 7 minutes, another 20 minute break, and a final

7 minutes hold period. This is called a " session. "

Initially, you'll probably want 2 or 3 sessions per day. After 2

days, one session per day is okay (you'll be feeling a whole lot

better after 2 days). After 2 weeks, you can do it every other day.

After that, once a week should be sufficient. But remember to do one

session per week for at least a year.

That's because you probably have a fungus infection that's gotten into

the bones of your face by now (that's what happened to me, to the best

of my knowledge). The pulses of low-current electricity kills the

fungus when it can reach it.

In case you're interested, the same pulses will apparently also kill

any bacteria, viruses and flukes it can get to (the pulses, having a

relatively high frequency component, will tend to circle around

enclosed body spaces due to RF skin effect) ...

You can make a pulse generator using a simple 555 timer IC, with a

12-volt power supply (batteries or wall-wart). Any frequency between

about 1500 Hz and 10 kHz will work fine (but 2 kHz seems to be best

for me).

Hi All,

I have not tried the above device, but I'm passing this

on to those who may be interested.

Becky,

Find a better doctor. Your blood sugar at low should be in the 70's. right

now you should be eating 6 mini meals a day to keep you sugar from dropping

too low. I went to nursing school but dropped out due to PA. Eat at each

meal a complex carb with some protein. You should also find a doctor who

will sent you for a glucose tolerance test.

That's what I thought. I was discussing this with a friend who is diabetic

I think I tracked some of it down to meds, but I do need to call my Dr. I

hate getting the PA, I've actually had her misdiagnose some serious stuff

(She told me the pain from an ovarian cyst was a strained groin tendon!!

Geez!!). :-( My Dr knows when I say something is wrong with me, something

is wrong with me. Down side to have in Dr who's head of the intern program

at the hospital is that they all come through his general practice and you

get stuck with them sometimes.

I'm in the US here.

Thanks very much for all the info everyone!!! Going to call my dr.

Smile,

Becky

[Guest guest]

An average of around 100 mg/dl is " normal " , however, this can and

will vary through the day. Anything from 80 –160 one to two hours

after a meal and 80-120 three or more hours after a meal are in

the " normal " range.

Generally you are considered to have hypoglycemia whenever your blood

glucose reading is 67 or below. I do not wish to scare you, but you

need to know that his is a serious problem that can result in

fainting and even death. If you have readings as low as 60 mg/dl,

you need to INSIST that this be paid attention to or get another

doctor.

One important note, there are different standards for testing outside

the US. Generally in the US we use mg/dl of blood plasma. Some

places use mmo/l instead of mg/dl. Separately, some use whole blood

reading instead of blood plasma. These will effect the reading. So

if you're outside the US, you will need other reading standards. If

you need these, let me know. I may be able to get them for you.

Good luck.

I have had disrupted blood suger causing my to faint and have dizzy spells

fot 6 years. Blood tests have not indicated any problems.

My research suggests that these symptoms are part of PA.

Regards

[Guest guest]

You know, this has happened to me several times but only since my weight loss

surgery. I didn't know if it was low blood sugar or what caused it, but

sometimes I get so shaky that is involves my whole body and I have to sit and

let it pass for a while. The reason I'm not sure its low blood sugar is because

it will happen even after drinking coffee all morning with flavoring in it that

has sugar. In fact it happened the other day around noon during my physical

therapy, now I had not eaten all morning, but I did have several cups of coffee

and I had a few mints during my therapy. Now they say for diabetic people if

they are having a low blood sugar attack give them a piece of hard candy or some

sugared drink, well I had both of them and I still had this shaky attack. My

therapist was afraid to let me go because this attack was so bad, worst one I

have had in my recollection. This shakiness lasted for more than an hour, I

took some klonopin hoping it would help, but it didn't. I sure wish I knew why

these shaky attacks happen.

[ ] Hypoglycemia

Is there anyone else having hypoglycemia issues? I've been having problems

with my blood sugar taking swan dives mid-morning and mid-afternoon. I've

tested it a couple times when I feel the shakes, headache, fatigue, and brain

fog at it worst and my blood sugar is between 60 - 85.

What's a normal blood sugar reading?

I've tried to talk to the dr about that, but they don't seem the least bit

interested unless your blood sugar is going too high.

Hello All, I have had history of migraines for 25 years or so.... very severe

and usually ending up in the ER.... well, after the PA began 12 years ago and

one daughter beginning college my internist thought maybe I was having panic

attacks because of all the 'situational changes' in my life... well, they were

indeed panic attacks and very severe... but eventually they were so scary and I

had terrible thoughts that my internist suggested I do a Fasting Glucose

Tolerance Test.... they realized I was extremely reactive hypoglycemic... so,

SUGAR was the cause of all my migraines (well, in combination with stress and so

on...)... so I began to eat 6 or 7 small meals a day and only limit chocolates

and sweets to very small amounts throughout the day... not all at once. I carry

a glucose monitor with me at all times, frankly I can't tell if my sugar levels

are high or low, I feel very skakey and 'fuzzy brained' when it is low... but

still feel strange whether it is up or down... sometimes I go as low as 44 and a

maximum of 120.... but usually I range between 60 and 85 ALL the time... so, I

have also wondered if there is some connection with this and having P and PA....

just thought I would contribute to this recent list of postings concerning

hypoglycemia that I have been surfing through. Also, doctors tend to blow-off

the connection. #2

[Guest guest]

I have had problems with hypoglycemia for years and tried many things. The

best for me is to eat small amounts of food four to six times a day and to

make sure that there is always protein in it. For me it is better when I

have protein in the morning and not just cereal or toast (carbs). I have to

start with the protein fix and make sure I get some throughout the day.

Normal blood sugar levels are between 80-120. Both my parents are insulin

dependent diabetics so I have dealt with blood sugar problems in one way or

another for quite some time.

Saw my Dr this morning, I'm officially hypoglycemic and supposed to just what

you said.

[Guest guest]

My son has hypoglycemia. He reacts badly to chromium, so we can't use that.

Sometimes I use vanadium, which I think also works. But mainly, I make sure he

has lots of protein, and that at least one snack a day is only protein, and I

keep his glycemic index low, only letting him eat foods with higher glycemic

indexes when he has protein in his belly first.These aren't cures, just ways

around the problem.

Good luck,

Debbie

Her diet is not the greatest, other than at home a typical teen diet. I try

at home and use enzymes but she is recovering and able to and does buy what

she wants when out with friends. I never buy soft drinks but lately she does.

She has no amalgams but is on spectrum and I have been chelating her for the

past year. Just wish she would heal so much faster. In addition to all the

supps, anti-everythings, etc she does take chromium 200 mcg each day.

I do try this at home, but unfortunately she doesn't always listen to me when

out. Healing and recovering a teen can be difficult. Thanks for the

suggestions. Maybe I will buy her a bag of nuts to carry around or something.

Any

Thanks. My daughter unfortunately hates eggs and yogurt. She actually had

steak & cheese and a bagel this morning. Then went on a trip with a friend and

5 hours later was in deep trouble with the hypoglycemia. I just find it odd

that sitting in school all day doesn't bother her but she did a ton of walking

in those preceeding 5 hours. Thanks.

I think next time she goes for a day trip like this one I will send snacks.

This time I sent money and the admission to the event was more than she

realized and therefore had no money left to eat with. Her hypoglycemia attack

actually caused her trip to be cut short and her friend brought her home

realizing

something was wrong with her. Maybe this experience will help me get her to

realize she has to carry something.

I sure hope she is soon able to take some " ownership " and learn to read her
