Home Remedies
Low Blood Sugar can cause a host of complaints ranging from headaches and dizziness to mood swings and inability to concentrate. Any such difficulties that tend to recur in the late morning and lat afternoon should be suspect of low blood sugar. If you get prompt relief from such a complaint when you eat a soft mint or drink a glass of orange juice, you'll probably find it worthwhile to follow a full hypoglycemia diet for two weeks. Hypoglycemia Diet The main stay of this diet is protein; meat, fish, eggs, and cheese. Proteins help in two ways, they don't trigger the pendulum reaction of raising the blood sugar right away that causes a release of insulin that soon lowers the blood sugar level; and proteins are absorbed slowly and converted slowly into usable sugar. Eat six smaller meals each day spread out equally.
| These should be predominantly: | |
 |
protein (50%) |
|
fat (20%) |
|
carbohydrates (30%) and include only complex carbohydrates. |
AVOID Refined carbohydrates: cake, cookies, candy, pie, ice cream, baked items, etc. Partially hydrogenated fat Processed meats, hot dogs, MSG
