They’re not bad, but significant for me. If I don’t eat, or eat a lot of certain things, like breads or something, I’ll eventually start to shake a bit in my arms and my upper body. It’s, honestly, light shaking, and I have a bit of an empty-stomachy feeling. When I have bad spells it can distract my train of thought, but it’s rare that it happens. All I usually have to do is eat something, and within minutes I’m fine.
As far as frequency it’s only about once a week, or every other week. Sometimes it won’t happen for over a month, sometimes twice in a few days. Just depends on what I consume.
When you make me quick diet plan/guide, consider that I’m trying to also have a diet high in protein to build muscle in the gym. By the way, I don’t tend to have any hypoglycemic symptoms after working out or anything else, only when I don’t eat, or eat too much of something. That, on top of the symptoms not seeming severe, makes me think that it’s only mild hypoglycemia. Do you agree with my diagnosis too?
I’m trying to avoid developing type 2 diabetes primarily, so I can join the Air Force.
What Is A Basic Diet Plan I Can Follow To Correct My Hypoglycemic Symptoms?

So-called ‘hypoglycemia’ is NOT a precursor of diabetes so that is one thing that you will not have to worry about. The confusion with the term began in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was noted that some non-diabetic individuals had the same symptoms as a diabetic who took too much insulin and developed true hypoglycemia. Research quickly demonstrated that the non-diabetic’s hypoglycemia symptoms were not related to glucose levels. It was then thought to be due to a delay in insulin release and was renamed reactive hypoglycemia. Alas this was disproven as well. Insulin levels were looked at but they were also found not to be the factor. Finally by 1980 someone asked what did the diabetic with true hypoglycemia and the non-diabetic with hypoglycemic symptoms have in common. The symptoms in both cases are triggered by the autonomic nervous system. It was quickly demonstrated (I will reluctantly admit that I was involved in this research) that non-diabetics with the symptoms of hypoglycemia had a flaw in the adrenergic component of the autonomic nervous system. Although a diet consisting of small frequent meals and avoiding refined carbohydrates may work it is tedious. Since 1980 beta blockers such as atenolol and metoprolol tartrate have been utilized as these blunt adrenergic ‘tone’. As the Federal Aviation Admistration allows commercial pilots to take beta blockers I assume that the Air Force will not object. If I may be of further assistance please let me know. I wish you the very best of health and in all things may God bless.
eat evry tree hours don eat simple carbs until post workout they spike you blood sugar well i suggest you get ur self checked out by a docter it might be something else
Low CARB food plans such as South Beach Living phase 2 or Atkins phase 3 or 4 is best for controlling the spike and crash of Hypoglycemia.
But the thought that Hypo turns into Hyper is half myth. It doesn’t always happen. My sis is Hypo and has been for more than 50 years. Our brother and I are Hyper or diabetic.
Avoid anything high on the Glycemic Index, root veggies, soft sweet fruits, most milk products, grains and cereals, and of course desserts. But do not think you can never have any of those again. You need to have something once in a while to maintain the food plan or you get the cravings for them.http://www.mendosa.com for the GI listing of foods. Or you can get one of Atkins Carb Counter booklets and choose lower carb gram foods.
SBL and ATKINS both emphasize a heavier protein/fat plan than most others.
SBL books, found in most libraries and bookstores, have menus and recipes in them that are terrific balanced plans.
Happy Healthy EATING!
