Correcting Hypoglycemia While Managing Your Diet
Having low blood sugar is not only frustrating, inconvenient, and potentially dangerous, it can also lead to weight gain. Be smart, use the fastest-acting product to raise your blood sugar that also has the least calories - pure glucose.
If you take any blood glucose-lowering medication (insulin or oral medication), you are at risk for low blood sugar (less than 70 mg/dl). This is called hypoglycemia. Low blood sugar signs and symptoms include trembling, sweating, hunger, rapid heart beat, blurred vision, impaired thinking and even seizures and loss of consciousness.
It’s important to correct a low right away. It’s also important to remember that what you use to correct a low adds extra calories is not accounted for in your meal plan. Using something low in calories can help you avoid weight gain when correcting hypoglycemia.
