Resources And Sites For Hypoglycemia Posted: 09-09-06 06:11am
I am new to the forum, I was posting in
another section about my thyroid then
found this section. Since I am hypo I
wanted to share these links that many
might love just as much. The forums there
have helped me a great deal. I need to
buy the books still.
Be careful of those two books, they
generally suck and only seem to be for
making money now. The hsf is pretty
crappy, their "newsletter" is nothing more
than an occasional, scantly written email
you get now and then. I don't know about
the sugar blog thing, but having to pay so
see something to help you is a bunch of
crap, that's why I post here and don't get
my info published. If I did I wouldn't
be allowed to post things here anymore.
Anyway, beware those books. Let me give
you a highly informative sample of the dos
and donts. Get ready for these gems.
1. Do check the floor or exercise area
for anything hazardous. For example, if
you choose to skip rope, make sure the
floor is not slippery or wet.
My commentary: alright, thanks for that,
how does this help me? Do you think
people are this pathetic that they'd
exercise on a wet floor in slippy shoes or
something?
2. Do trim excess cuticles and hangnails
carefully (this word is all in caps) wit a
cuticle nipper.
My commentary: wow, I see how this relates
to low blood sugar, thank you for
informing me of the proper way to trim my
nails so I don't lose too much body sugar
from pus or something.
3. Do carry a health emergency card if
you're experiencing many lbs symptoms;
especially if you'v recently blacked-out
or fainted. You can keep your card in
your purse, car or briefcase - any place
that can be seen in case of an
emergency.
My commentary: hmmm, sounds like a good
idea, a bracelet would be better, but
okay. Good thing you told me to put it
in my purse, car or briefcase, otherwise I
would have thought my mouth or underwear
would be best. So where do I get this
card thing?
3 (continued)... To order a health
emergency card, please see the back of the
book for details.
My commentary: okay, I get it now, you're
going to make the card for me and make a
small profit off of it, good idea, here
comes my check. Ummm, no.
Here are the books I suggest you pick up:
1. Hypoglycemia: the disease your doctor
won't treat
it actually has a different title now, but
I suggest the older version because the
newer is more expensive and doesn't really
add anything new. In addition, you can
get it for way cheap off of internet
sites.
2. Sugar blues
pretty disturbing book about how sugar has
essentially ruined the world.
3. Hypoglycemia: a new approach
this book gives great info on organics,
vitamins and so forth, but be careful
because there is also misinformation
present that can be hazardous. Read it
carefully!
4. Hypoglycemia for dummies
probably the best of all, though it has
its faults as well. Gives a great
overview and tons of alternatives for
different symptoms.
