Have you read the book (The Paleo Diet)
written by the guy being interviewed in
that article? Have you tried the diet? How
has it worked for you? Even though the
book has nothing to do with hypoglycemia,
it does make a lot of references to
regulating blood sugar.
I stumbled on it it through the cycling
coach that co-wrote the athlete's version
and it happened to coincidentally be right
around the time I found out I have
hypoglycemia. I found the book to be very
convincing and figured that I am 90% there
by following a hypoglycemia diet anyway.
All I really have to do is drop the dairy.
I haven't been on the diet long enough to
make any opinions on it, but I am
definitely excited about the
possibilities, particularly if it allows
me to push the limits of how active I can
be without overtraining or triggering
hypoglycemia symptoms.

I've found that a diet that pretty much is
close to what is mentioned there has
increased my stamina and ability to work
out, as well as reducing my sugar drops to
nothing. I rarely have any anymore, maybe
once a month now, if that.

That's good! That is one of the big
selling points in the athlete's version of
the book ... more stamina and more
capacity to train without overtraining.
Is there a relationship that you know of
between overtraining and hypoglycemia?
Based on my experiences, I would think
there is, but I would like to understand
it better.

Well, from my experiences, once your
stable no. However, when you still
haven't got things more under control, you
can have problems. Why? Simple, you're
already experiencing lower sugar levels,
and working out, especially a lot, draings
that reserve even more. You may actually
feel better after working out (helps
balance sugar levels), but also bad a bit
after this, perhaps a day even. That's
why.
