Bon, try eating a low glycemic diet. High glycemic foods are pushing your insulin even higher and the high insulin in turn is pushing your blood Sugar even lower. My blood Sugar totally leveled out when I starting doing Atkins, but you could do a more relaxed low carb diet and still get good results. Basically you just want to eliminate high glycemic foods like Sugar and processed flour that spike your insulin and replace them with with low glycemic carbs like for example veggies or whole grains.

Yes - exactly. The ideal diet for hypoglycemics is the same as for diabetics: eating vegies, proteins, and non-refined grains. That means porridge, not boxed breakfast cereals. It means throwing the Sugar and white flour out of your kitchen and replacing it with real food that comes from the earth. It requires cooking! :)

I had horrible hypoglycemia for years, and even though it improved when I began to eat lower glycemic foods, it didn't go away until my hormones found a better balance. (artificially - I switched to the Diane pill). I'm just mentioning that in case it's relevant in your case; it might not be. When my hormones were out of wack, my hypoglycemia was at its worst.

Julia Chang relates hypoglycemia to a weak spleen. The spleen, she says, will take care it itself when you cleanse the liver.

Do some internet searches and good luck!

Bon,
I am in no way a doctor...but I had what I called bouts of low Sugar also....I called reactive hypoglycemia.....after eating etc...I would become so tired and sleep for hours depending on how much Sugar or carbs I ate......
I really was desperate.....
Do a search on Insulin Resistance....that is what I found out it is called...
the suggested help is Chromium it helps to get your metabolism straighted out and cuts the craving for Sugar and carbs...because it helps your body to use the sugars....
after just 3 days of taking it....I feel 100% better....have enough energy to get off the couch...
also once you are done studying that...if this applies to you,
i found that chelated chromium is better than chromium picolinate......because it is easier absorbed by your body....
chromium is just a naturally occuring amino acid in your body.....

Low blood Sugar attacks are usually caused by an excess of the hormone called insulin.

Insulin drives blood glucose into the cells to be stored (often as fat). This lowers levels of glucose in the blood often making you feel dizzy and hungry.

Excess levels of insulin are also linked to PCOS (see my post on this forum page) so controlling insulin is the key to both of your problems.

My post on this forum page explains how to control insulin briefly and some free resources (books etc) you can utilize.

I hope you find this helpful.
