Hypoglycemia – the Symptoms
Sudden cravings for refined food, mood swings and insomnia are all symptoms associated with low blood sugar levels or hypoglycemia.
By a little research and understanding you can help yourself overcome these problems!
Hypoglycemia is caused by allowing your body, amongst other things, to become dependent on sweets and other junk food. High starch and carbohydrate diets create a dependency on refined foods to keep up sugar levels. When these drop, you suffer the symptoms of low blood sugar levels.
Hypoglycemia may be seen as a symptom of the onset of diabetes. If you are suffering from any of the following symptoms below, you could be hypoglycemic.
* Sudden hunger and shakiness
* Sweating, dizziness or light-headedness
* Sleepiness
* Confusion or difficulty talking
* Weakness and fatigue
* Anxiety
Many of these symptoms will occur during the day, but if you wake up tired and irritable, to find your sheets are damp from sweating, you are probably experiencing hypoglycemic symptoms during the night.
While medical advice is imperative, there are things you can do.
Form a dieting plan. It is important to eat food at regular intervals to avoid hypoglycemic symptoms. By training your body in healthy food choices, you can stave off low blood sugar levels.
Reduce alcohol. When overused this can contribute to hypoglycemia. If you must drink, don’t overdo it. Insulin production is increased with the intake of spirits, beers and wine? Eat a snack or meal with your drink. However, if your symptoms are clear- cut you should not drink alcohol at all.
If you are experiencing hypoglycemia and low blood sugar levels as a result of diabetes medications, make sure you are checking your blood sugar levels regularly and take your insulin or other medication consistently at the same time each day. Also consult your medical advisor to work out the appropriate dosages. While not all people who experience hypoglycemia become diabetic, it increases your chances exponentially.
Although you may be working with your doctor to treat your hypoglycemia, you may still be struggling to overcome the symptoms. There is hope! There are fantastic resources available that will give you pointers, and give you hope that your life can be normal again.
Get your sleeping patterns back, lose your anxiety, quit grabbing the first foods that you can get your fists around and experience happiness again.

Exercise your Anxiety Away
Physical exercise does more than keep us physically fit. It can be a key element in reducing anxiety. Did you know that exercise has proven anxiety-reducing benefits?
Here’s a brief list of some of the benefits of exercise specifically for anxiety sufferers. Exercise:
– Releases “feel-good” endorphins and neurotransmitters that improve your mood.
– “Burns off” stress by metabolizing neurotransmitters created during the stress response.
– Balances blood sugar levels for up to thirty-six hours after exercising. This minimizes symptoms triggered by low blood sugar.
– Likely makes the stress reaction system more efficient.
– Could help you be significantly less affected by stress over the long-term by changing your body’s automatic stress response. Exercise reduces the amount of adrenaline and other neurotransmitters released during stress that create symptoms.
– Coordinates the movement between the arms and legs to help regulate brain waves.
– Relaxes you by releasing muscle tension.
– Improves blood flow to your brain, bringing additional sugars and oxygen, which may be needed when you are thinking intensely.
– It’s likely that a chemical that is released in the brain during aerobic exercise helps the body mend itself from some of the harmful effects of stress.
– Exercise, when done regularly, increases your sense of self-control over your health and well-being, which in turn decreases anxiety.
I know it’s tough to even think about exercising when anxiety symptoms drag you down. I used to feel the same way. Boy, was I surprised to discover that exercise made a dramatic difference for me. (The key is starting gradually if your symptoms are intense — even one or two minutes of walking in your house a few times a day is a great start!)
Most anxiety sufferers mistakenly believe that their anxiety symptoms prevent them from exercising because they feel physically overwhelmed and fatigued. The truth is that exercise is one of the best tools you have to turn the tables on your anxiety symptoms. If you’re fatigued, exercise will energize you!
Start slowly and gradually build the length of time that you exercise. Walking is one of the simplest exercises because it’s easy, does not require lots of equipment, and you can do it just about anywhere.
When you’re getting started, decide on a length of time that feels very do-able to you — whether it’s one minute, ten minutes, or more. Gradually build on that foundation. Increase the length of time and the pace of the exercise over several weeks. To maximize the anxiety-reducing benefits, make it a long-term goal to do thirty minutes of aerobic exercise three or four times a week.
