Okay, so I was looking up information on
Stevia and Hypoglycemia and it brought me
here. I have been skimming the old posts
here looking for information and getting a
bit confused. First off it sounds
like Stevia might be a bad idea, and this
is the 3rd or 4th place I have heard that.
I am dx'd as hypoglycemic by more then one
doc, but I do not have GTT, I refused the
test. A partial piece of birthday cake
caused my meter read a 40 in less then 2
hours... I have blacked out more then once
and no desire to do it on purpose. I mention that only
because I see a lot of ppl talking about
it here. In truth the GTT scares me a bit.
In truth I really am a bit lost on how to
control this. I developed it about 3ish
years ago after a life of pasta, fruits
and pizza. OH how I miss my 100% pure OJ!
I was reading the sticky up top and it
says to avoid peanuts... why? I have been
told that they are a GOOD snack, high
protein and all that? It also says to EAT
FRUIT? Woah.. that is something I have
been avoiding. Completely. Cinnamon I was
also told has a natural stabilizing effect
on blood sugar, sticky says to avoid. In
short a lot of what I am reading here is
different then what I have been told...
but then again I have been unable to
achieve control. I have a follow up
appointment with an Endocrinologist in a
couple months (small town, hard to find
specialists).
For example, my morning meal usually is
1/4th pound ground beef, a slice of cheese
on a whole wheat (18 total carbs) bun.
This seems to work okay, but need to eat
again in less then 2 hours or I will
crash. That starts a day of snacking on
mostly cheese, with more beef for lunch
and I toss a South beach Protein bar in
there as a treat. Very little variety in
my food any more. I have removed all
sugar, and use Spelenda when I need a
sweetener. I drink mostly water or coffee
with 0carb/cal sweetner/flavoring if any.
Or if I eat say a 20-25 carb serving of
whole grain cereal I'll spike up to 170's
with in 1/2hour, and with in 2 hours be
dangerously low.
Other then the stickies up top, is there
any other good threads to check?
Thanks!

First off, the information is a
SUGGESTION. People, PLEASE read it
carefully. I merely say that cinnamon is
a possible item to watch and keep track
of. IF YOU CAN EAT IT GO AHEAD. God,
please read this stuff, it's quite clear.
Peanuts are actually beans, not nuts,
that's why. Fruit is fine, but certain
things like bananas must be avoided. That
whole wheat bun is probably total garbage,
so don't even bother. The only bread you
should be eating needs to say 100% whole
grain. If it doesn't, FORGET IT. A
protein bar? There's got to be some crap
in there. You're not being careful
enough. My diet has been tested through
experience and using my body as a lab,
there is nothing better, but again, what I
say there are RECOMMENDATIONS, not
requirements. Read it carefully next
time.

It's sooo confusing!!! Posted: 06-16-08 11:03am
Whenever I think something is working for
me... I have a SEVERE crash.
I did Atkins for YEARS- some days were
good, others I had SEVERE anxiety.
Fruit ALWAYS curbs the crash but, I think
I'd have to eat it ALL day for it to
really give me energy.
A good mix of Fruit, green veggies,
chicken (or tuna) and a whole grain roll
is the best mix I've found but, doesn''t
always do the trick.
I also keep protein powder close, in case
I crash - protein shakes seem to help.
I get so many mixed suggestions and read
so much mish mosh.
I'd LOVE to hear everyone's experience
with diets PLEASE!!!

I've completely healed myself and overcame
this with my diet, so it's more than
possible. I can usually say with 100%
certainty that you're not doing something
right. Having something else is usually
not the case, but there was one person on
here once that ended up having candida or
something and they cured themselves of it.
Don't fall into that trap though unless
you've been carefully tested. At any
rate, my experience with my diet is this,
100% CURED.
