Makes high protein/high fat look a lot better, doesn't it?

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.
