I experience hypoglycemia commonly. Most often it is reactive, but I also experience fasting hypoglycemia as well. It is a stand-alone condition, as I am not diabetic.
My question is this.. what can I do with my diet to make the symptoms of tiredness less crippling? As it stands.. after eating a meal, I can barely stay awake for the next two hours or so. Usually when the tiredness sets in I take a few glucose tablets to stabalize my sugar, but I know that is probably not the best to do. I think I need to change my diet so that I have less of an upward spike (and therefore less of the resulting crash). The problem is, it seems like the only thing I crave is carbohydrates and sugars. Is my body just producing a lot of insulin to make up for the carbs and sugars? What are the best foods to choose? Any help would be great.

Okay…I know that doctors have been saying that if you must have a soda, then it’s actually best to have a regular soda. It turns out that the sweeteners in the diet soda can actually prohibit weight loss. However I’m diabetic so I can’t have the regular soda…is there any good way to break myself of having to have a diet soda with every meal. I also hear that the carbonation expands your stomach making you feel more hungry…
