So now I'm curious....are any of you the same way??
I hope everyone is doing well! Class of July - woot woot!
Yes!! I was hypoglycemic for the first 10 months that I tried to stop/stopped drinking. I tried doing a low carb/high fat diet to solve it but I got really bad candida that way.
I have completely cleared up hypoglycemia - confirmed by a doctor recently - by adopting a mostly raw foods/low fat diet. The funny thing is that I eat fruit almost all day long and never get that sugar crash anymore. It turns out it was the fat causing the sugar crashes - fat supposedly absorbs too much sugar, leaving too little in our blood stream. However, mainstream health news hasn't yet caught up with this - they are still advising people to eat more fat to stabilize blood sugar.
