hypoglycemia

All the causes of hypoglycemia are not known. What has grown up, however, is a body of knowledge of things one can do to help alleviate the symptoms. The basic problem is that for some reason the body does not handle blood glucose properly. If you eat sugar, or something that is easily converted to sugar by the body, the sharp rise in blood sugar causes too great an increase in the levels of insulin. The result is that the blood sugar is driven too low, too fast. Since the brain doesn't store a great deal of energy, like say the muscles do, it is very sensitive to the levels of blood sugar. If the brain isn't operating properly, then you can get all sorts of different symptoms.
The first basic treatment is to avoid all foods that contain elemental sugar. This includes almost all desserts and junk foods. (Actually that wouldn't be so bad for a "healthy" person would it?) It also includes all non diet soft drinks. A lot of people find that caffeine also stimulates the release of blood glucose and precipitates a reaction. That is the reason why caffeine helps keep people awake and "gives" them energy, it's really the increase in blood glucose giving them the extra energy. Beware of anything that comes in a box from the supermarket. The food industry loves to add sugar to things to entice you to eat their products. The worst offender you can think of are breakfast cereals. They not only put sugar in their product, but on their product. The cereal that I have ended up with is Shredded Wheat, which has no added sugar.

The second basic treatment is to give your body small doses of food at more frequent times during the day (the frequency people use varies from 6 times a day up to 11 or 12 times a day). These snacks should, of course, be smaller portions of things which are digested slowly. Things that are digested slowly include protein and complex carbohydrates. For comparison, simple carbohydrates are include things like sugar. Complex carbohydrates include whole grains and fresh vegetables. Beware of everything that has ingredients that end in -ose, which denotes a sugar. These include dextrose, glucose, maltose, sucrose, sorbital. Fruits are sort of in a gray area, with their fructose. If you have a fruit drink, such as apple juice, then the sugars can be absorbed quickly. If you have applesauce, then the body has to do some breaking down of the applesauce before it can get to the sugar. If you have a whole apple, then the body has a lot of breaking down to do. You have to read labels to see if the products have sugar in them.

To help me keep my weight down, a dietician prescribed non fat proteins for me to eat. These include nonfat string cheese, cream cheese, and bean dip. Surprisingly, if you cut out the simple carbohydrates, you probably won't gain weight eating all those snacks. In fact, you might even lose weight!

hi i'm eris and i'm a dumbass

i'm hypoglycemic
i was diagnosed when i was 10 or 11 years old
i have a mild case of it.

sometimes i'm good and remember and take care of it
most the time i'm not, especially the last 2 years.

see, eris isn't suppose to have problems, remember?
so i ignore it, and i get sick
it's become worse because i also have some potentially serious female problems happening as well, so i fuck up and don't eat properly, and i get very sick.

i'm harping on things for my own benefit, pretending i'm fine just allows me to ignore things and continue bad habits and i keep getting sick.
not eating properly also shoots my immune system all to hell so i get anything else going around as well.

bleh, so eris listen up, QUIT WHINING
oh you're sucking at this trying to eat three times a day, guess what
fuck you, you must eat even more than that

1. Divide daily intake of food into at least six small meals.
2. Eat a high fiber, complex carbohydrate, low-fat, protein-rich diet.
3. Emphasize whole grains, fresh vegetables (raw when possible), and fresh fruit.
4. Minimize sugar intake. Eat sweets only at special meals, in small amounts, and only as part of the meal.
5. Avoid caffeine. Caffeine is found in coffee, chocolate, tea and colas.
6. Reduce alcohol intake and avoid alcohol entirely on an empty stomach.

are you listening eris?
quit whining and harping and take care of it
you know it works, we've stuck to this before and FELT BETTER and DIDN'T GET SICK
so do it, none of this whining about how hard it is or how much it pisses me off or how much i don't want to eat
suck it up bitch.
