First off , sry if the english is not perfect english is my second language , im french canadian .
Hello
My name is Etienne , I am 22 and ive been suffering from hypoglycémia since I am 17 (all started after a mononucleose). I recently change my alimentation, in the last 6 months i havent drink alchool except on 2 occasion. I try to eat at regular hours, generaly 6 times a day. I dont eat sugar or rafined flour, Only complex carbs (integral bred). But even after all that im still struggling with general fatigue, sudden drop in energy level, sensation of being out of it and many more including anxiety.
The change in my regime helped alot and I would say its keeping me alive but even after all those change i still feel really sensible and its really blocking me in my everyday life. Sometimes i can go to bed feeling perfectly good (no symptomes, feeling like a king my mind and body are working fine) and then wake up in the morning and feel like its the worst morning of my life.
I am also waking up early and doing regular exercises, but all those changes did not have the impact i wish they had when i start doing them ( like i said, they sure did help alot, but not enough). I am 22 , i use to be a really confident good looking guy but because of all the problems hypoglycemia is causing i lost great deal of confidence , im starting to go bald, i look skinnier , my skin doesnt look as healty as it use to, and all of that sucks and it feel as if I CANT do nothing to change it and thats the hardest part.
I look at the stan diet and i was wondering if anyone had good result with it and if i should try it.
P.s My hypoglycemia is diagnoste , my blood test show a huge drop in sugar level 2 hours after i eat and a generally low level of blood sugar for the rest of the time , like if my body couldnt raise it back after the drop.
(my dad also been strugulling with hypoglycemia problem troughout his life).
Heres a few thinbgs i might be doing wrong
- Tendencies to over eat at dinner time and supper ( i generally eat average to big meal there)
- I eat dairy product including milk , cheese always lower then 20 percent milk fat. (Dairy product are the easiest way to get your protein amd i was surprised to see stan didnt use it in his regime)
- I eat integral bread and usually i try to balance my snack with 1-2 portion of protein (nuts, cheese....) and 1 of carb (piece of bread brown rice ...)
- I often take a nap at the end of the afternoon were my wenergie is at the lowest. Any tought on that ?!
THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO CONTROL
- Waking up and feeling good in the morning for once
- Not having to worry all the time abouth how i will feel in an hour
- Stabilising everything , knowing i can depend on my body during a date a dinner, when i exercise or anything else.
Is there any hope ? any of you know anyone who cleared up there hypoglycemia and can now have a normal life with the occasionnal drink with friends from time to time?
Im willing to be patient and take the time but i want to feel like a real man again , i mean if i had a strong healt in the past theres no reason why i couldnt get back to it.
Thanks in advance for all the answer
Etienne
