Hi all,
I'm resting my way out of a huge pre-Christmas crash. Increasingly, I'm having trouble with hypogylcemia in the afternoons and evenings. Even though I'm eating every two to three hours, I'm still getting frighteningly low blood sugar, as best I can tell. (Planning on DH getting a glucose monitor at the grocery store to double check that this is the problem.)
A) I'm not sure what is causing this, and whether my boosting folate and b12s to bring up my energy levels might be over-driving things, or whether supplementing with @Kimsie 's NAD recipe amino acids (glutamine, glycine, aspartic acid and ribose) might also be causing blood sugar regulations issues. I'm going to back off on both for a couple days to see how that does.
B) But in the meantime, how do I best eat to manage hypogycemia? I'm on the auto immune protocol diet, so GF/DF plus no grains or eggs or nightshades. I'm low sugar (some honey in a coconunt milk tapioca pudding I make, but I can eliminate that) and only herbal teas and water to drink.
What has worked for others in controlling blood sugar through eating?
TY in advance,
Sue
