What Do You When You Have An Attack
Posted: 11-28-06 14:46pm

Stan,

i think it's a good time to talk about hypoglycemic attacks and how to handle them. Can you offer any suggestions; especially for the more severe attacks?

Unfortunately, at the outset of the treatment, the best you can do is have some nuts and wait for it to go away, which usually takes about 15 minutes or so. Generally, most people can tell before they come on that they're coming, and it's good to eat nuts at this point. I myself have never had a severe attack since being on my diet, only minor ones, which I simply had to do my best to ignore or eat nuts if I found them worse than usual. It wasn't easy, but I really can't offer more than that. If you can handle grain you can try something like that, or maybe a small amount of fruit. That should not be a habit though, nuts are the best. For a very severe attack, if it ever happens, it may be necessary to have some diluted juice.
