Hello. I’m new here, I’ve had problems with hypoglycemia for a couple of years now. Lately it has been getting worse. I get so low I pass out and have had seizures. I had a GTT done and hated it. My results were:
Fasting - 27
1 hour - 53
2 hour - 32
3 hour – 14 (stopped)
The GTT had to be at around the 3 hour mark as I had a seizure, lucky it was done in a hospital.
Anyway, my question for a while I'd eat lots to keep my blood sugar up to a more normal level. I’ve been referred to an endocrinologist. But I’ve been thinking and wanted to ask, is the goal not to eat to keep blood sugar levels up but to try and make your body adapt and feel normal with low levels? Say, my fasting is usually 25-32 so I’d try to feel well with those levels and make sure I eat foods that wont make it go up? I hate it at low levels, I seem to be so tired all the time and sleep a lot.
If you're meant to make your body learn to cope with low levels is protein okay? And not eat things like fruit, some (or all) vegetables, grains like rice and bread? Basically ANYTHING that contains carbohydrates, is that correct? Can anyone give me a list of foods that are okay to eat? I only know of eggs, nuts and meat, but I don't like read meat only chicken.
