Re: Does anyone else struggle with hypoglycemia?

[Guest guest]

Marcia, I was diagnosed with borderline Type 2 Diabetes a little over a year ago

and am controlling it with diet and exercise. I thought I knew how to eat

healthy. I went to a diabetes class and was astonished at how little I knew

about how to eat to keep my blood sugar stable. Going to a class might be an

option. My diabetes educator told me yesterday that my insurance allows for me

to meet with her 4 times a year free. So checking your insurance to see what

they allow might be an option.

Another support group that really helped me during my initial diagnosis was

http://www.dailystrength.org and then signing up for the Diabetes group. I do

know that if I allow myself to get too hungry and have my blood sugar drop; all

control is gone for me. Being sure to add a fat or protein to any carb I am

eating really helps and I was stunned to find out that carbs aren't just starchy

bread type items. It's been a learning experience for me and when I get it

" right " ; I feel better, weight is released and I have much more energy. I've

released between 5 and 10% since my diagnosis and am staying status quo while I

" play " with my food right now. I know that now I need to get to the core issues

because I've gone into self-sabotage mode right now. It's the reason I picked

up the book and am just beginning week 2.

Subject: Does anyone else struggle with hypoglycemia?

I know it is not an excuse for being overweight, but being hypoglycemic does

make it harder to control eating. If my blood sugar gets too low, I dive

face-first into my food, and I usually don't even think about portions and

mindfulness and all the other stuff I try to be aware of until I have eaten more

that I should.

I was medically diagnosed with hg, but my MD at the time just said to eat often

to keep the bs stable. She referred me to a nutritionist who said about the same

thing.

The brain fog is the worst! I've actually gone speechless in front of my class a

couple times. Freaky.

Any ideas or suggestion?

Thanks for all those suggestions. I do carry little containers of nuts and a

tiny bit of dried fruit with me at all times. I know that, if I'm out and get

fuzzy-headed, I need to stay away from the candy and cookies that I really want

and grab the snack bag of peanuts instead. One MD said that there was no

correcting this condition and that it always leads to Type 2 diabetes,but a

nutritionist said that sometimes it evens out. I think that I've had this even

when I was slimmer, but it is much worse now that I have an extra 50 lbs. to

carry around.

OK, I'm heading to the Daily Strength site to get all the info before I join the

SOPA protest strike at midnight.

Thanks again. You've been such a help to me!

Marcia

Sounds like you need a better plan than eat often. It's more like you need to

plan for yourself five our six small portion meals every day. Plan them out in

advance so that your not just grabbing whatever is near and suits your fancy all

day long. Maybe eat something small, but nutritious every 3 hours. Im thinking

like a small amount of fruit with a half cup of cottage cheese sprinkled with

wheat germ. or, a small portion of meat with a healthy portion of vegetables.

If I know that I can have some more in another 3 hours it's actually easier to

put down the fork. I love your snack bar, but maybe thats your go to for one or

two of these meals rather than just a constant feeding station. I have a similar

almond jar. I eat about 6c of them per week. As I read/write this I am being

reminded to limit this intake so that I get more variety and take in more foods

that are nutritionally dense also.

You were diagnosed hypoglycemic? That's odd.. I thought hypoglycemia was

a symptom and not a diagnosis? I should maybe pick up a book and read

(now that wikipedia has " gone dark " ).

[Guest guest]

Corinna, as it was explained to me, my body puts out too much insulin, which

causes my blood sugar to be used up more quickly, and it will dip very low. I

took the glucose tolerance test just like diabetics do, but in my case the level

of blood sugar fell too low. Another aspect of this condition is that my liver

doesn't kick in and release it's reserve of glucose as soon as it should.

I take no responsibility for any of the terms and descriptions above. This is

just what I was told by the MD I was using at the time and her nutritionist.

Marcia I have also been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. You explained it exactly

right and this can often be a precursor to diabetes. The diet we should be

following is lots of protein, veggies, nuts and some fruits. I've found that

when I eat clean I feel great and no ups and downs or cravings. Now if I can

just get rid of the emotional eating!!

I feel really great whenever I stay away from sugar and simple carbs. My doctor

suggested a diet similar to that of diabetes but as I wrote I try to eat clean

proteins, nuts, veggies, fruits and some dairy and fats. Have you ever listened

to cutthefatpodcast? It is incredible, packed full of great information and Fun

to listen to too. A lot of the podcasts focus on how to balance our insulin

levels again and why such a majority of people are having similar problems. I

think they have a number 1 spot right now!!

Thanks, . I keep plain almonds and banana chips with me at all times. The

chips are not the best choice, but it gets a tiny bit of sugar to my  brain to

keep me from zoning out. My former MD said that I would end up diabetic for

sure, but her nutritionist wasn't so negative. We'll see!

Thanks for the podcast lead. I will check it out ASAP! My husband is diabetic,

so we are SUPPOSED to be eating the same things. He's satisfied to let big

pharma control his, and he eats like he always does.

My husband was just diagnosed with diabetes. The doctor is sending both of

us to a nutritionist so we can learn some good meal and snack options for

him. I'm actually looking forward to this. I don't have diabetes, but I'm

sure I can still learn a thing or two!

Marcia,

I was nerding out on you.. sorry about that. Have you seen the movie

Fatheads? They explain in a really amusing way exactly what you are

describing and why. I'm sorry it's a struggle for you, though. :c/

[Guest guest]

Corinna

I hand't of the movie, but I will be sure to watch it soon. It's more of an

inconvenience than anything else.Thanks for the movie info.

[Guest guest]

Marcia,

I think that if we can eat right, there is a good chance we can avoid diabetes.

I also think that drugs will only control things up to a certain point and then

the body starts to fall apart. I've seen it happen again and again to my older

friends.

The almonds are a great idea, the banana chips could probably make you feel

worse. Try yogurt (the plain Greek types are fantastic) with your almonds and a

drizzle of honey or hard boiled eggs are always satisfying and protein shakes

that you can make and take with you. How about a sandwich on whole wheat bread

with lots of turkey and a bit of cheese and loaded with lettuce and tomato? Or

string cheese and an apple that you've cut into bite sizes so it's easy to eat?

Try for more protein and less sugary things and within a week you'll notice a

big difference!! I know that I feel terrible after I eat rice or spaghetti so I

usually avoid these things as well as pizza. I'm ok with some wheat bread but I

try to eat it for breakfast.

My worst time is late at night. I CRAVEEEEEE sweets (tonight my brain is

thinking about the sugary cereal my kids love and the 1/2 candy bar my daughter

left on the kitchen counter) and I know that I'm just tired and need to go to

bed. :-)

Good luck.

Thanks for the podcast lead. I will check it out ASAP! My husband is diabetic,

so we are SUPPOSED to be eating the same things. He's satisfied to let big

pharma control his, and he eats like he always does.

I feel really great whenever I stay away from sugar and simple carbs. My doctor

suggested a diet similar to that of diabetes but as I wrote I try to eat clean

proteins, nuts, veggies, fruits and some dairy and fats. Have you ever listened

to cutthefatpodcast? It is incredible, packed full of great information and Fun

to listen to too. A lot of the podcasts focus on how to balance our insulin

levels again and why such a majority of people are having similar problems. I

think they have a number 1 spot right now!!

correcting this condition and that it always leads to Type 2 diabetes,but a

nutritionist said that sometimes it evens out. I think that I've had this even

when I was slimmer, but it is much worse now that I have an extra 50 lbs. to

carry around.

If you both start eating a diabetic-friendly food plan, you will probably avoid

getting thsi disease. When my husband was first diagnosed, he did very well with

his food and exercise.That didn't last very long. As long as his Md tells him

that his numbers are good due to his meds, he thinks that he can eat whatever he

wants. Sigh.

My husband was just diagnosed with diabetes. The doctor is sending both of

us to a nutritionist so we can learn some good meal and snack options for

him. I'm actually looking forward to this. I don't have diabetes, but I'm

sure I can still learn a thing or two!

That's what I'm hoping. Despite my weight, my numbers have always been

pretty good. My cholesterol is high, but my blood sugar, A1c and blood

pressure are just fine. I know they won't stay that way forever, though.

Had a big argument on facebook with a friend of a friend over a Deen's

big " reveal " yesterday. My position is that her behavior was

irresponsible, and trying to garner sympathy while signing a deal with a

major drug manufacturer is really cheesy. Unfortunately, there's not a lot

of money to be made by supporting diet and exercise. My mom has diabetes

and has done a great job keeping it under control.

I feel the same way about PD. I saw her on the Today Show, and they were trying

to get her to say that she learned her lesson and would change her way of

cooking. Her answer was that she didn't eat like she cooks on TV everyday and

didn't recommend anyone do that, so there was no need to change. In other words,

if she shows us all how to eat better, we won't need the drugs she is

shilling. Sigh, again.

I heard the same thing, I think it was from Dr. Oz. He said that the meds get

diabetics through the day, but they do not prevent the periferal neuropathy, eye

problems or wound-healing problems.

I only eat two banana chips and six almonds for my snacks,so it doesn't really

affect me. Your snacks sound delicious, but in my situation I need to eat

quickly between classes--no time for a delicious sandwich!

Thanks again for your insight and support

Marcia

Subject: Re: Does anyone else struggle with hypoglycemia?

 

Marcia,

I think that if we can eat right, there is a good chance we can avoid diabetes.

I also think that drugs will only control things up to a certain point and then

the body starts to fall apart. I've seen it happen again and again to my older

friends.

The almonds are a great idea, the banana chips could probably make you feel

worse. Try yogurt (the plain Greek types are fantastic) with your almonds and a

drizzle of honey or hard boiled eggs are always satisfying and protein shakes

that you can make and take with you. How about a sandwich on whole wheat bread

with lots of turkey and a bit of cheese and loaded with lettuce and tomato? Or

string cheese and an apple that you've cut into bite sizes so it's easy to eat?

Try for more protein and less sugary things and within a week you'll notice a

big difference!! I know that I feel terrible after I eat rice or spaghetti so I

usually avoid these things as well as pizza. I'm ok with some wheat bread but I

try to eat it for breakfast.

My worst time is late at night. I CRAVEEEEEE sweets (tonight my brain is

thinking about the sugary cereal my kids love and the 1/2 candy bar my daughter

left on the kitchen counter) and I know that I'm just tired and need to go to

bed. :-)

Good luck.

hugs..evelyn

Thanks for the podcast lead. I will check it out ASAP! My husband is diabetic,

so we are SUPPOSED to be eating the same things. He's satisfied to let big

pharma control his, and he eats like he always does.

I feel really great whenever I stay away from sugar and simple carbs. My doctor

suggested a diet similar to that of diabetes but as I wrote I try to eat clean

proteins, nuts, veggies, fruits and some dairy and fats. Have you ever listened

to cutthefatpodcast? It is incredible, packed full of great information and Fun

to listen to too. A lot of the podcasts focus on how to balance our insulin

levels again and why such a majority of people are having similar problems. I

think they have a number 1 spot right now!!

> Thanks for all those suggestions. I do carry little containers of nuts and a

tiny bit of dried fruit with me at all times. I know that, if I'm out and get

fuzzy-headed, I need to stay away from the candy and cookies that I really want

and grab the snack bag of peanuts instead. One MD said that there was no

correcting this condition and that it always leads to Type 2 diabetes,but a

nutritionist said that sometimes it evens out. I think that I've had this even

when I was slimmer, but it is much worse now that I have an extra 50 lbs. to

carry around.

the SOPA protest strike at midnight.

> Marcia, I was diagnosed with borderline Type 2 Diabetes a little over a year

ago and am controlling it with diet and exercise. I thought I knew how to eat

healthy. I went to a diabetes class and was astonished at how little I knew

about how to eat to keep my blood sugar stable. Going to a class might be an

option. My diabetes educator told me yesterday that my insurance allows for me

to meet with her 4 times a year free. So checking your insurance to see what

they allow might be an option.

> Another support group that really helped me during my initial diagnosis was

http://www.dailystrength.org and then signing up for the Diabetes group. I do

know that if I allow myself to get too hungry and have my blood sugar drop; all

control is gone for me. Being sure to add a fat or protein to any carb I am

eating really helps and I was stunned to find out that carbs aren't just starchy

bread type items. It's been a learning experience for me and when I get it

" right " ; I feel better, weight is released and I have much more energy. I've

released between 5 and 10% since my diagnosis and am staying status quo while I

" play " with my food right now. I know that now I need to get to the core issues

because I've gone into self-sabotage mode right now. It's the reason I picked up

the book and am just beginning week 2.

> I know it is not an excuse for being overweight, but being hypoglycemic does

make it harder to control eating. If my blood sugar gets too low, I dive

face-first into my food, and I usually don't even think about portions and

mindfulness and all the other stuff I try to be aware of until I have eaten more

that I should.

Marcia - isn't it frustrating! My husband is the same way.. Will turn to

a pill first. My FIL is on an organ transplant list for his kidneys due

to type II diabetes.. do you think he'd give up his white bread and

Pepsi? Heck, no. *sigh* You can want all you want for other people..

doesn't make them want it for themselves.

Do you *have* to give up those things if you're diabetic?

Corrina, you are so right! Between pills and Splenda, DH thinks that he is

taking care of himself, even though our health ins. co. sends him stuff all the

time about food plans and exercise. When we discuss it he says that if he dies

early, it's his loss, but I tell him that if he goes blind or loses a limb, I'm

going to have to take care of him, and I will not be happy about it.Arrrggghhh!
