Diabetes Low Blood Sugar or hypoglycemia is an induced condition by diabetics when they take more or other drugs to reduce the blood sugar than needed relative to the levels of glucose in their bloodstream or if after taking the drugs and do not eat as usual or by doing strenuous exercise , I found a *diabetes reversal report* that I think it is simply excellent.
Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia in people who do not have diabetes is less common than once believed.
Alcoholics always become hypoglycemics , prolonged fasting or long and arduous exercise can induce low blood sugar too.
Hypoglycemia can also be a consequence of other medical conditions such as tumors in the pancreas or liver illnesses just to mention some.
Reactive hypoglycemia is the result of the delayed insulin release after a meal has been absorbed and occurs 4-6 hours after eating.When reactive hypoglycemia is unrelated to other medical condition or problem, it is advised to follow a *healthy eating plan*. Avoid foods high in carbohydrates, eat small portions but more frequent meals throughout the day and eat a variety of foods, including whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.
Low blood sugar very often occurs when adrenal fatigue is presented due to a combination of high insulin levels during stress of any kind and low cortisol . Low cortisol leads to slowing blood sugar production.
The decreased availability of blood sugar and the increased demand creates an hypoglycemia condition and as a result the body cells do not get the blood sugar they require to function well. There is a very close relationship between blood sugar levels and adrenals function.
It is well documented that people who suffer from low blood sugar frequently suffer from adrenal fatigue. With lowered levels of cortisol, the liver has a difficult time converting stored blood sugar into active blood sugar, necessary for energy production.
If we suffer adrenal fatigue, we are in a real bind because when we are under stress, even a mild stress such as a math exam or an argument at home, the demand for blood sugar increases, but tour fatigued adrenals cannot produce enough cortisol to generate higher active sugar levels from reserves.
In the presence of increased insulin and decreased cortisol, blood sugar drops rapidly. If this happens at the same time as an increasing demand for glucose, the stage is set for tragedy.
Without the available energy, every energy requiring function of the cell slows dramatically. This lack of energy produces a crisis .
In a physical survival situation this hypoglycemic condition can lead to death because response times slow down, thinking easily becomes confused, muscular strength is weakened, and other problems occur which render the individual too helpless to effectively defend themselves or escape.
Typically in our society in which physical survival is not usually a daily source of stress, we handle our low adrenal related low blood sugar symptoms with a double edged sword; we eat something sweet with a coffee or cola. This is a short acting emergency remedy that temporarily increases blood sugar with nearly immediate impact.
We can almost feel it hit the back of the brain as our blood sugar moves out of the basement and shoots for the stars, relieving our low blood sugar symptoms for about 45-90 minutes.
However, this is inevitably followed by a precipitous plunge back to even lower blood sugar levels than they started with.
Many of us do this, day in and day out, not realizing that low blood sugar itself is a significant stress on the entire body, and especially on the adrenals. With each plunge our adrenal fatigue increases and our low blood sugar condition worsens.
Therefore, by the end of the day, we feel nearly exhausted without having done anything. It might take an entire evening or weekend to recover from this roller coaster ride. It has sometimes been characterized as driving with both the brakes and the accelerator pushed to the floor at the same time.
It is not by accident that work breaks are scheduled at about these times or that people typically have something sweet and/or caffeine during these breaks. We have a nation of hypoglycemics. Sixty percent of people suffering from hypoglycemia go on to become diabetics. So is it any wonder that we also have a nation suffering from diabetes in epidemic proportions?
Low blood sugar, without proper snack and meal placement, also encourages overeating when food is available. This overeating causes rapid weight gain because the increased levels of insulin circulating in the blood usher that excess energy (active blood sugar) from the extra food into the fat cells where it is stored as fat.
After coming out of a situation of low blood sugar into a situation of excess calories, fat and sugary junk food , our body urges us to overeat. Our bodies to stores that energy while it is available. In this way low blood sugar creates a tendency to put on weight.
To avoid gaining weight, those low blood sugar dips that increase hunger and also create a tendency to store energy as fat must be avoided. This means regular exercise and eating the kinds of meals and foods that control low blood sugar.
It also means eating regular meals and not eating those sugary foods and caffeine that send blood sugar levels on a roller coaster ride and worsen adrenal fatigue and low blood sugar levels.
