No topic what you're consuming or consuming if you're now not diabetic or pre diabetic your sugars must now not pass over one hundred twenty, your pancreas must make amends for anything you devour. I am a sort a million diabetic identified at 24 years ancient, and I used to be hypoglycemic for years earlier than I ever had top sugars and used to be identified diabetic, so it's some thing you must preserve an eye fixed on. It would be a symptom that your pancreas isn't operating adequately, hence generating an excessive amount of insulin inflicting the low sugars and ultimately mine stopped operating. That being stated, simply considering that you're hypoglycemic does now not imply you'll have diabetes at some point, your bigger sugars and your thirst, and starvation predicament me even though. you will have your document do an A1c experiment, that's an typical of your sugars over the final eight weeks, nevertheless if you're having plenty of lows this experiment may also be deceptive, my dad is a diabetic who doesnt maintain his sugars however he is going high and low such a lot that they steadiness every different out for his A1c assessments, making them seem ordinary, which they're very a ways from. You must definately experiment extra ordinarily even though, earlier than foods and approximately two hours after and within the morning for every week, then your health practitioner can down load the outcome or you'll name them in, and if they're involved probably run a few extra assessments.

I'm also hypoglycemic. I carry nuts with me, almonds peanuts etc. any kind you like, they are great as a healthy snack on the run. I have carried Laughing Cow cheesebits with me before - they are individually wrapped and don't need to be refrigerated. Whole grain oat pretzels are good. Peanut butter crackers are good. Peanut butter sandwiches are good, I cut them into four pieces and eat one piece at a time. I don't know if they are too sweet for you, but I eat Hidden Valley granola bars as well. Also good is jerky, either vegetarian or the real thing, and the little dried snacks like dried corn, veggies etc. Terra chips ( made out of veggies) Joseph's sugar free cookies. Of course small pieces of fruit are good, apples especially. And you can cut up some veggies and bag them and carry them with you, like carrot, celery sticks. Hope some of these suggestions helped.

Hi. You should def. try keeping packs of peanut butter crackers with you or fruit/grain bars. It is hard to eat things while on the go, but in order to "hold" your blood sugar, you need to balance a snack with a carb & some protein. Nuts can also be a good choice of protein but don't forget the carb. I'm a diabetic, so I have always had to balance my snacks or I end up low as well. It's not very fun..but just always try to eat a hearty breakfast with long lasting carb/protein balance. Gold fish really get tiring, so I always tried to switch it up with dif. types of bars or crackers. You might want to try a low sugar protein shake also. It could help give you the balance.
