hello bin suffering now wiv reactive hypoglycemia for bout 2 years now, was diagnosed by the 5 hour glucose test but was then just sent on me way and told to eat low carb, higher protein diet and thats it! no more help!
anyway im 21 years old always bin healthy, didnt ever eat junk food much at all or fizzy pop, am a gym instructor so have always looked after myself and have always been active and exrecising, but the problem now still gradualy keeps getting worse. at the mo i eat 6 a day, eat plenty of veg and fruit (realise now tho i shud cut down on the fruit) it has really bin bothering me lately as i hav not just had the physical symptons but mental ones like anxiety and nervousness and am finding myself am not the way i used to be.
anyway just a few things if any1 can help:
1) when looking at labels o food should i be eating foods with not much sugar e.g. low sugar on the scale or no sugar at all?
2) what should i eat when im feeling shaky and dizzy? ive heard a bit of cheese is good.
3) i regulariy hav protein shakes as i work out a lot in the gym is this doing any harm and i drink alcohol at the wknds im guessing i should stop this?
4) plus any other help?
thanks any help wud be greatly appreciated
