HYPOGLYCEMIA

HYPOGLYCEMIA

Hypoglycemia is a condition of low blood sugar. The term is derived from the Greek words hypo, meaning “low,” glykys, meaning “sweet,” and, haima, meaning “blood.”

Blood sugar levels below 70 mg/dL is considered too low and is potentially dangerous.

Hypoglycemia is denoted by a less than normal amount of glucose in the blood, usually caused by administration of excessive insulin, excessive secretion of insulin by the islet cells of the pancreas.

If too much insulin is secreted, the result is hypoglycemia. If too little insulin is secreted, the result is hyperglycemia. If no insulin is secreted, the result is diabetes.

Causes and Risk Factors

Hypoglycemia can be caused by:

• Diet
• Digestive issues
• Pancreatic issues
• Hormonal issues

Anyone can experience hypoglycemia, but diabetics have to be especially careful to properly manage their blood sugar levels.

Dietary Intervention

Hypoglycemia is a degenerative disease, which means it is diet-based. Poor, deficient, or inadequate diet is the primary cause of hypoglycemia.

A diet high in consumption of refined carbohydrates, various refined sugars (sucrose, sugar cane crystals, etc.), alcohol, and caffeine (chocolate, coffee, soft drinks, etc.) will greatly sabotage the proper function of the pancreas, which can lead to hypoglycemia.
