Default Re: hypoglycemia

Hello!!! I am not hypoglycemic (sorry), but I am a type 1 diabetic, so I know a little about hypoglycemia, well no I don't. I know everything about it if you’re a diabetic and taking insulin, but if your body just does it on its own then I have no clue.

For me to keep from going low I just cut my insulin injections in half, and run a little higher then normal, but if you aren't on any meds to keep you from going high then I have no clue. I am very interested though in hearing what to do. There are so many things that you will need to take into account in order for you to keep from going low…how many carbs did I eat? When do I plan on exercising? What is my BS before/after exercising…excising sucks for me and my BS!

In my person opinion I would think that Atkins would be difficult for a hypoglycemic to do due to the low number of carbs in your body. In order to keep from going low you need carbs. I also feel that whatever meds the Doc puts you on will most likely have kind of glucose in it, so...yea...I really can't be of any help here either! I am so sorry, but somebody will know!!!
