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.
