Question about feeling better on diet for diabetes?

Question

Monday of this week I cut out all sugar except what occurs naturally in fruits & vegetables.I probably got some sugar in some ketchup & some salad dressing, but that's about it. I have also cut out all "bad" carbs.

Before I cut out all sugar & bad carbs I was feeling like I had hypoglycemic symptoms about 2 or 3 hours after I'd have something sugary to eat.Now I feel the symptoms very mildly when it's been about 3 hours since I have eaten any meal.I get a little light headed & my jaw tenses up.

I really expected these symptoms to completely go away immediately because I'm not eating sugar or carbs, but I guess it doesn't work like that. Maybe I didn't get hypoglycemic symptoms between every meal before because I was on such a sugar "high" all of the time. I was addicted.

Any idea how long it takes to quit getting those hypoglycemic feelings after changing the diet?

Any insight is appreciated, but if you don't know the answer, please don't answer this question. Thanks!

Hi, SuzieQ92! I was addicted to sweet chocolate, and can relate. What you're experiencing is also influenced by portion size at meals, and the efficiency of your digestive system, and your recent level of exercise, and even your emotional state. So it is really difficult to give a relevant and accurate answer to your question. It sounds like you haven't been under a doctor's care for very long, so I'm going to provide you with some general information that you probably won't find anywhere else. Use anything that helps, and throw the rest away. Here's a little different take on the subject of diabetes--

There are many things you can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites.
Everything on the above list has a use in fighting diabetes. If you are serious about learning how to use these herbs and not falling victim to diabetes needlessly, I suggest getting a copy of--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which was first availale in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

I am a severe hypoglycemic. I eat 3 meals and about 3 snacks per day. I have to make sure there is plenty of protein with each meal. Low carb, low sugar, low fat, high protein is the key to not having hypoglycemic attacks. Natural sugars in fruits such as apples, kiwi, strawberries, cantaloupe, etc. figured into your snacks along with some protein like a small amt. peanut butter will help tremendously.
