    I am 63 yrs. old. I’ve been hypoglycemic since age 23(first severe attack). Others in my family, mother sister and brother as well as maternal grandmother were diabetic. I’ve had such severe sudden drops where I find it difficult to breath, I break out in a full body sweat, I shake and my vision begins to close down. Essentially my body goes into shock. I don’t take any meds but do keep glucose tabs or juice of some kind with me at all times. I’ve found staying away from dense carbs, refined sugars and starches along with keeping my natural sugars down keeps me from having severe drops. My blood sugar runs around 55 when tested over the years though did test at 70 in one year. Hypoglycemia can be serious and I’m happy to see this addressed here.

    One of the major symptoms of low blood sugar is getting the 'shakes'. A kind of trembling that's quite unpleasant but goes when you eat something. Following this Doc's plan of eating more veggies and cutting out sugar is helping me tremendously.

    I've known I am hypoglycemic since I was 7 years old. I fainted during a soccer game after eating pancakes for breakfast, and my mom recognized my symptoms immediately (she herself is hypoglycemic). She took me to the doctor to get blood tested as soon as she could, and we confirmed I was hypoglycemic. I rarely ate sugar growing up (the pancakes were for a special occasion) and was raised on a low carb, high protein diet. I was under the impression I was born this way. My worst episodes of hypoglycemia always occurred if I went too long without eating (I've fainted from this at least 4 times in my life). Eating high amounts of sugar definitely makes me feel awful, but going long periods of time without eating has always been more concerning to me. I guess my reason for writing is 1. Are you sure people develop chronic hypoglycemia from diet alone? and 2. If I'm already low carb and high protein, what else can I do to feel better/not feel faint just because I haven't eaten in a few hours?

"Why does my blood sugar tank out of the blue" I ate TONS of sugar as a kid, teen and young adult. I'm now doing better at keeping my sugar intake down and doing things to ward off insulin resistance and have seen an improvement! 😊 I'm still not where I need to be, but I'm getting there! I'm on the right path and healing my body!

    After eating 7-10 cups of vegetables a day for 2 weeks, the pain from my fibromyalgia and leaky gut was horrible to the point where I was bedridden. After some investigation, I found that oxalates were the cause. I was eating large amounts of spinach and some kale and was very pleased that my sugar cravings went away. However, I have been trying to figure out a low oxalate diet without compromising the progress I made with the sugar cravings. Can you please share your expertise regarding this phenomenon and diet. Thank you for taking the time to provide these well informed videos.

      eat 600 gms of organic cucumber raw with skin and drink lemon juice daily before bed probably one hour prior to sleep.
      Spinach and kale is just bullshit. You really dont need it. Infact you dont need any of the vegetables. Make it simple, just increase cucumber intake, you will get almost "ALL THE MINERALS"
      Glycemic index is very low for cucumber and it has intestine friendly fibres to built up healthy bacteria. Liver loves cucumber too
      Cucumber has very little sugar which is acceptable in a keto diet

    I've always had low blood sugar but this week I had 4 very intense panic attacks where I completely lost function and couldn't speak or move. Luckily, my wife was near me when it happened and gave me some OJ. I was literally peeing every 10-20 minutes, had the shakes, chills, couldn't breathe.
    I had a baby 2 weeks ago and lack of sleep plus barely eating anything triggered something. My wife had to take of everything yesterday with feediny/changing baby plus the dog and cats. I had to eat frequent small meals and a ton of oj/water. I slept 12 hours straight and feel much better now. Still think I need to get myself checked out so have an appt 2days from now.

    A small point I wish to mention - at round 2:22 ". . . turning your protein into sugar . . This phrase is confusing, not clear enough. It's that the body breaks down protein (muscles) in the body which releases a small amount of sugar. I've heard this phrase used by others - protein does not become sugar. Love your videos, I'm a great fan of yours. You speak such truths, so refreshing and reassuring. Thank you so much for sharing this information with us.

    The healthy diet helps me but it does nothing for an attack, which I often get as I'm waking up. A small amount of sugar is the only thing that snaps me out of the shakes, rapid heartbeat, pins and needles, and vomiting and spinning head. (I suck on a dumdum candy for a few minutes after I get up though I never get cravings for sweets at all) I've always stayed away from sugar and have always eaten healthy, high protein and healthy carbs. No idea what is at play behind my hypoglycemia beside the fact that it runs in our family. It is not fun when you've got it like I do... 😢

    I have had hypo since I was very young (primary school) however I did not eat much sugar, my mom would not let me eat much junk food and never ever sugary drinks, only water to drink! (my brother would sneak in allllll the sugar yet he is not hypo). But I do have Misophonia which causes a very intense fight or flight response in me sometimes several times a day. Could this physical and emotional stress from the Misophonia repeatedly since a toddler be what caused my hypo from such a young age despite a healthy diet? I am now low carb and it has helped so tremendously, I went from my blood sugar dropping several times a day to basically not at all.

    I've been blacking out since 1982, no doctor figured it out, I had one doctor tell me I had pituitary gland failure, But I don't I've been blacking out from low blood sugar since 1982, I had what felt like a brain seizure in 2018 then this doctor started treating me for pituitary gland failure, he put me on steroids and I gained 30 lb and it's been so hard for me to get rid of it, But now I have a new endocrinologist who's reversing it, But when I finally get hungry it's like I shake I get irritable, so I've been trying to eat a lot of fish. And in my twenties my face was flushing, I was constantly exhausted, And I've been waiting for yours for a doctor to figure it out, The funny thing is I I'm the one who figured it out.

    Think I might have that because I was at 6 flags and I started feeling dizzy and nauseous and really thirsty and then I puked and almost passed out so my mom brought me to the first aid place at 6 flags and they tested my blood. My blood sugar was at 5 when it's suppose to be at at least 80 and they told me I had to lay down and eat sugar and that if it got down to 4 then I would have to go to the hospital. I never went to the hospital and something that big hasn't happened since but I do still get dizzy and light headed if I don't have enough sugar or too much.

    At 4:16 are you saying that type 1 diabetes can be caused by diet? And are you also implying that you can cure diabetes? Because type 1 and type 2 diabetes are both incurable. Another thing I'd like to add is that Hypoglycemia is also caused by fasting. Diabetic patients are prone to being hypoglycemic because of the "sugar lowering" effect the insulin they take has.
    Symptoms of hypoglycemia include weakness, confusion, sweating, anxiety, increased heart rate and can also lead to a loss of consciousness.

    • @piewhackit2me
      @piewhackit2me 8 років тому +2

      Dumisa Nzama Yes I agree both are incurable,manageable but not curable.Kind of pisses me off when someone insinuates that diabetes can be cured especially type 1 both my parents had it and numerous relatives on both sides going back several generations.I manage my type 2 with diet exercise,but I am certainly not what I'd call cured,because symptoms would come roaring back if I gave up being very active and healthy eating habits.

    • @piewhackit2me
      @piewhackit2me 8 років тому +2

      Dumisa Nzama Simply put to me once.Being overweight doesn't cause diabetes nor does diet cause diabetes.Actually being type 2 diabetic is what causes someone to be overweight.They (type 2) don't process carbs the same way a non diabetic does.Type 1 diabetics will always be insulin shot dependant.Its a pet peeve of mine when some snake oil salesman even suggest both are curable.
