Q: Hypoglycemia And Children
asked by: Blueshekli on April 26th, 2006

I was wondering if anyone has a child with hypoglycemia? I have it pretty severely and so does my 9 yr old son. He can be very irritable and depressed. I see most of his behavior issues as symptoms as they generally clear up after he eats. I have trouble finding support from relatives. It's hard to make someone understand what a serious problem this can be when they haven't experienced the symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Has anyone done a low-carb diet with a child? What were your experiences. He is terrible when he comes home from school and I know it's mostly from the sugar-laden school lunches and lack of snack. I have trouble finding the time to make his lunch in the morning and i'm not sure what would be a good snack that can be stored in the nurses office that doesn't require refrigeration.

I want to thank everyone for their experiences on this forum, especially stan. You have helped me to make positive changes toward healing my body.

You need to do whatever you can to keep his diet regular for a long time. Going to take at least 6 months to keep him regular, at most. With summer coming up you'll have much more time, but do whatever you can to keep him regular now. Have you explained to him as much as possible what he needs to do and why? If your relatives have trouble understanding, tell them to screw off, explain that what happens to your child and yourself is exactly what happens to a diabetic when they inject too much insulin. If they've ever seen anyone like this, they'll have more sympathy, trust me.
