Diabetic Diet & Blood Gluecose

Providing You with the Best Diabetic Info Around

If i go without having any sugar throughout the day, i get severe headaches is this a symptom of hyperglycemia?

Ive noticed that when i go through my day and don’t have any sugar i get severe headaches… There not the normal headaches, as pain radiates all over. However all it takes is a piece of fruit or a soda and im fine within a matter of minutes. Is this a symptom of diabetes?

"If I go WITHOUT any sugar…. symptom of HYPERglycemia"? Babe, if you get these when you go WITHOUT sugar, how could you POSSIBLY conclude that you are diabetic, or have issues with TOO MUCH sugar?
The human body requires a certain amount of sugar per day in order to survive. If you get these headaches from LACK of sugar, what you’re experiencing is HYPO glycemia, not HYPER glycemia.
Your body needs some sugar for energy, it needs sugar in order to absorb any water you consume. If you go WITHOUT any sugar, even (especially, rather) if you are dieting, your body will suffer from low blood sugar levels and dehydration. Other symptooms of hypoglycemia may include dizziness and lethargy.
If you’re trying to diet, find sources of complex carbohydrates and complex sugars that your body can break down. Complex carbs do not go straight to fat cells and breaking them down into a usable energy source burns calories.

What kind of diet plan should someone with hypoglycemia have?

I just found out I had it and I’m trying to gather as much info as I can. I’m trying to make out a few weeks worth of diet plans, what can and can’t I eat?

I would suggest that you read the Atkins New Diet Revolution.

Hypo and Hyper glycemia are linked to insulin production. Many times hypoglycemia is misdiagnosed. If you are overweight and suffer hypoglycemia … it is unlikely that the diagnosis is correct. What you have is an overactive pancreas – producing insulin at an out of control rate … this is the beginnings of diabetes … yes, I know that diabetes is HYPER glycemia … but what happens is that after years of overproduction of insulin, your pancreas "burns out"

Read the book … it explains all of his trials and findings.
