Re: What are you taking for hypoglycemia?

[Guest guest]

I a thinking the glycerine will add to your candida woes if it has sugar in

it?

You are eating regular protein and still your blood sugar is not steady?

Have I got that right?

My next stop would be glutamine which steadies the blood sugar and aids the

brain.

Well hypothyroidism does nto cause hypoglycemia, but it does caues

insulin resistance. I have never heard of using glycerine to tr3eat it

so ???? I would think avoiding SWEETS and carbs would be paramount to

helping this. SO the drinking it in fuit juice is VERY bad advice, so

possibly the whiel thing is not goos either. I would investigate the GI

load of glycerine before I would try it.

Try 5 mg Biotin

I have been taking it since I got my results from Diagnos Tech. They

said I needed Glycemic Control and they recommended Biotin " for

positive modulation of cellular glucokinase. " I don't really know

what that means but I do know that my hypoglycemic symptoms have

improved greatly since I started taking it 2 1/2 months ago.

My nutritionist told me that although vegetable glycerin could be safe

to use for occasional baking for my daughter (Type1, Hashi's, Celiac),

that it can affect blood sugar, despite the claims that it does not.

It's a sugar alcohol and refined.

At any rate, it sounds to me more like you'd be covering up the

hypoglycemia symptom rather than finding out what was causing it

anyway going this route. What does your diet consist of? What type

of supplements do you take?

Cheryl, you would benefit by going on a diabetes type diet, which is

medium protein, veggies for carbs, and high in fat like nuts and

olive oil. No sugar, or anything that converts into it, like white

flour carbs, pasta, rice, potatoes, corn, any grains, fruit or

juices, etc. The principles behind the diets are fascinating,

because they are counter to everything you've been taught.

Two excellent books that would help you are The Rosedale Diet by Ron

My husband and I were both hypoglycemic and eating every two hours

for awhile but got better after following these diet suggestions,

which seem radical (what, eat FAT!?), but actually work. We are no

longer hypoglycemic and don't have to bring a pail of food with us if

we leave the house for more than two hours! Also, if you have a

weight problem, you will lose weight.

There is also a correlation of hypoglycemia to being hypothyroid, so

once you get your thyroid levels optimized, your hypoglycemia should

decrease.

Good luck!

When I was hypoglycemic, chromium picolinate caused me to go lower.

Re: What are you taking for hypoglycemia?

I take chromium for that from time to time. It helps.

I read that gtf form is best for that purpose but I have tried other forms,too

and found them helpful.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I noticed when I'm on a

candida diet I feel better but it's very hard to stick to that diet

for a long time. It consists of no sugar, white flour foods etc so

it's easier on your blood sugar. I would think the GI diet would be

great too.

Glycerine doesn't encourage candida and is used in alot of candida

recipes in place of sugar.

" Vegetable Glycerine is a clear, colorless, thick liquid with a

natural, moderately sweet taste. 100% food grade vegetable glycerine

is comprised of 99.7% fatty esters, made from either coconut or palm

oil. The remaining 0.3% of vegetable glycerine is water.

Fatty esters do not have an effect on blood sugar, they do not

create a glycemic response, and are tolerated well by people with

Candida and Hypoglycemia.

Glycerine is an alcohol (glycerol) and is used as a preservative in

the food industry, as well as a sweetener: it is very sweet, yet it

contains no sugar. This makes it an ideal sweetener for patients who

cannot take sugar, such as the increasing number of Candida

sufferers. Vegetable glycerine is said to be the " only acceptable

sweetener " for Candida patients. "
