Low Blood Sugar

Have a couple of pieces of fruit if anything and make it breakfast x

Which type of hypoglycemia do you have? Reactive or Fasting? I'm a little of both really....worse on fasting. Reactive to selective simple carbs & sugars.

I use to have the same problem but I'd faint first thing in the morning from my blood sugar being so low. I'd pop glucose pills just to get me into the kitchen for something quick.

I try to space out my meals best I can. I usually have a late dinner (9:30ish) and am in bed around midnight or so. I'm totally fine in the mornings now. I can even go a good hour without shaking. Sometimes I'll do Trop50 to hold me over an etra 30 mins (no longer than that b/c then you're going on a rollercoaster ride).

Try to figure out what food are the culprits. It's easy to say, skip the simple carbs. Go for complex. Eat protein. Some foods hit people different. My friend can have fruit on an empty stomach and be okay 9she is also hypoglycemic). I eat some grapes and an hour later I'm shaking like a leaf. I learned to have it with cottage cheese or a greek yogurt. You might want to try what I do, Dinner as your biggest meal. Protein rich, plenty of veggies and some carbs. Dinner is usually my highest calorie meal. I'm so sue to it that I'm SHOT the next day if I skim out, cut back or etc. No energy for the gym, blood sugar rollercoaster rides....

Figure out what works for YOU. There are plenty of good options and suggestions. Everyone's body is different.

What medications are you currently taking. Some anti-diabetic medication will cause Blood Glucose crashes more significantly than others. Medications such as Metformin generally do not see these types of fluctuations. If you are on these medications, what time of day are you taking them or are you taking them twice a day. This may also influence your crash in blood glucose levels. It may also be significant if you are pre-diabetic or have been diagnosed with diabetes. Diet and exercise can help decrease or eliminate the need for oral anti-diabetic medications or prolong the use for them in the pre-diabetic. It is also important to have your Hgb A1C checked regularly. If you can keep your A1C below 7 with diet and exercise, you may not need the medications. While dieting, it is also important to remember that when you are taking these medications you must eat! Eating 4-6 small meals a day can help with this. There are also weight loss supplements that are targeted for the diabetic that you might consider in the evening to help prevent this drop in blood glucose. You also may need to test more frequently to know what is happening to your body when you consume certain foods.
