so let’s talk about hypoglycemic reactions with diabetes okay people that are diabetics are taking medications like insulin and they end up with this low blood sugar situation it’s very common 90% of diabetics using insulin have or end up with a low blood sugar situation okay so the medical solution to hypoglycemia is a complication of this treatment for diabetes but if I had this condition the question that I would ask would be why is the blood sugars dropping down too far in the first place okay and the only correct answer would be there’s too much insulin because insulin is responsible for pushing the blood sugars too low okay so that would be question number one hopefully you would get an answer to that so the next question I would want to ask is why am I taking so much insulin if it’s going to drive me into a hypoglycemic reaction and why can’t I take the least not possible because the big side effect from insulin is damaged uh with the retina with the eyes uh with the macula with heart cardiovascular uh with the kidney with the nervous system there’s a lot of side effects from too much insulin so then the last and most obvious question would be how can I take the least amount of insulin or medication to keep my blood sugars normal and not too low or too high and this is where we want to pull this book out right here mk’s manual and let’s see what they say about hypoglycemia okay under treatment it says the single most useful treatment for hypoglycemia that follows meals is a diet high in protein and restricted in carbohydrate now that’s some good advice okay I like that advice protein will instantly make you feel better instead of taking sugar so that’s one thing I would recommend and they say restrict carbohydrate that’s awesome but why don’t they go on to say diabetic patients taking insulin should always carry sugar lumps or candy with them and the patient family and friends should be instructed to recognize the symptoms of hypoglycemia and giving the emergency treatment mentioned above so here’s the problem that I see there’s this huge focus and attention on managing this complication of hypoglycemia without focusing on the root issue which is basically how can we take the least amount of insulin possible and to the point where maybe we can even come off the insulin okay so the two things that I’m going to recommend would be to definitely lower the carbohydrates and eat less frequently now in the transition you would want to um add more fat to the diet so you could go longer You’ want to do a ketogenic program you would definitely want to do inent fasting because that’s ultimately going to bring your insulin down as low as possible and just in summary yes I know you’re going to feel better by consuming protein if you have low blood sugars and you’re going to feel better if even if you have candy because it’s going to temporarily bring you up but you’re never going to correct this high level of insulin which is dropping you into a low blood sugar situation all right thanks for watching hey if you’re interested in finding out the underlying cause of your body issues click the link below and take the evaluation quiz
