Hypoglycemic diet?

Question

Can anyone suggest foods that are easy to take to work that don't go bad real fast? I have hypoglycemia and I work a job that requires me to work 10-12 days sometimes and I am always on the run. I work for a doctor so I have little time for myself. I was told to eat several small things a day to avoid feeling ill etc. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Something whole grain with a little sugar, like granola bars, oatmeal bars, yogurt... things like that. When you have a hypoglycemic attack, your instinct is to eat something sugary, which just causes rebound hypoglycemia. Stick with something that will take your stomach a little while to digest... it will make you feel better.

Here you can find a very effective natural treatment for diabetes: http://diabete-cure.gelaf.info

Diabetes can be "reversed" or go into "remission". I believe that what that is is decreasing the need to take medications. A person who has diabetes will always have it... but there are cases where a type 2 can either reduce medications or even eliminate them... but will still need to watch diet, get plenty of exercise and keep their weight down. This is called management and control. However, that does not mean that there will never be one. Research has taken huge advances and the more scientists learn about it, the higher likelihood that a cure might come about someday.
While I did recently read an article that stated gastric lap band or gastric bypass MAY be a potential cure, more research is needed and even if this one day is a cure, it would only be effective on type 2s who are obese since neither of those procedures are performed on people who are of normal weight or body mass. Stem cell transplants are still highly controversial and most likely, have a long way to go before it is approved as a diabetes cure by the FDA. Since the vast majority of diabetics are type 2 (roughly 90%), those of us who are type 1 seem to get lost in the shuffle. EMT type 1 for more years than I care to remember, use a pump. Let me add that when I mean diabetes can be controlled and managed without medication but with diet, exercise and weight control, I'm referring to type 2. This is not an option for type 1s, who must take insulin, either by injections or a pump, to survive.

Answer 3

Yes, there is milk now that does not need refridgeration until you open it. One brand is called Parmalat. You can get them in a packages of 3 half pint boxes. I keep mine unopened in a fridge so they are cold. You can keep them in a desk drawer and they keep fresh for a long time, almost a year if unopened. With that milk available anytime, you can eat Kashi GoLean CRUNCH cereal, it has a very nice balance of carbs, fiber and protein. That's a healthy meal. Also, go to a drug store and buy one each of the different Power Bar meal replacement bars until you find one you like. They are not as good as the milk and cereal but they will get you through the day. Good Luck.
