Re: Re: Hypoglycemia?/need feedback please

[Guest guest]

I too have hypoglycemia and it is getting worse. As far as I know I don't have mito but my son has it. When I was pregnant with him is when it started. Now I continue to have it. Is there a connection to mito and hypoglycemia?

Thanks

Re: Hypoglycemia?/need feedback please

Dawn, Hypoglycemia with Mito is not a myth. It is very real. My older son was born with low blood sugar. The mito cells are used up so fast that you can get low blood sugar.... Make sure that you always have a protein and a carb together. Eat smaller meals every three hours.Hang in there.Marie> > I have been battling what I can only assume is hypoglycemia issues > off and on for a yr. I had a 3hr.
