Is anyone hypoglycemic?
MY OB thinks that I may be, not sure if it's pregnancy related or I will have this always now?
I find it at its worst eating a bagel...even a half! Am I destined to a low carb diet??

Re: Is anyone hypoglycemic?
I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia a couple of years ago.
I go through times where sometimes it's worse than others.
I would go see a nutrionist. I found it to be very helpful.

Re: Is anyone hypoglycemic?
I have been hypoglycemic for almost 20 year and I am a carb freak.. I live on carbs. Make sure you eat a lot of foods that are high in protein... A bagel with PB is good... A nutritionist can help but not all insurance companies will pay for one if you aren't a diabetic. Carbs are bad because you get a high and then crash hard... My husband is a diabetic and the carbs kill him!!!

thanks everyone...I have found that protein is key to not feeling crappy.
Hopefully this is only pregnancy related...I love bagels with butter!

Just remember if you have a carb try and have a protein with it to keep your sugar level elevated.
I also take (when I remember lol) Cinnamon capsules. Cinnamon helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable. I know your pregnant, but you might want to ask your OB if you can take something like that. Good luck!!

Re: Is anyone hypoglycemic?
Many people have this during pregnancy, it's typically called reactive hypoglycemia. I had it with my pregnancies and it went away after birth. I remember mornings were the WORST after eating something with carbs, having OJ, etc.
