How does alcohol react with someone with hyperinsulinism related hypoglycemia?
Posted by admin on Oct 6, 2009
I don’t have diabetes. I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia related to hyperinsulinism, which may be related to insulin resistance. I was just wondering what effect alcohol would have on this condition. I was wondering if occasional consumption of alcohol is acceptable, or if all alcohol should be avoided. Thanks.
Keep a very close eye on your sugar when drinking. Of course, an occasional drink is acceptable, but alcohol will lower your blood sugar. The starch in some alcohol will increase the sugar, but for a very short time. The metabolism of the alcohol portion of the drink will then lead to a decrease in your blood glucose. Be sure to check it often when drinking, and to keep a real glucose source (something w/o alcohol in it) with you when you go out.
Talk with your endocrinologist for more details.
Best of luck.

Dr Lason, hypoglycemia can cause anxiety and depression
Posted by admin on Oct 6, 2009
For 30 years, Joan Mathews Larson, PhD has been treating addiction, anxiety and depression with natural supplements in order to correct the underlying biochemical problems which cause these conditions.
In this video clip, she notes that hypoglycemia, that is low blood sugar were severe fluctuations in blood sugar, can predispose a person to depression and what only appears to be deep rooted emotional and psychological disorders.
She also notes that nearly all alcoholics have hypoglycemia.
Although she does not mention this in this video clip, if hypoglycemia is causing depression, drugs like Prozac cannot possibly solve the problem.
The only way to solve its is to control blood sugar by restricting easily absorbed carbohydrates.
“Early on, when we started treating hypoglycemia, mainly because of Bill W. [ Bill Wilson, cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous ] raving in his communication to AA [ Alcoholics Anonymous ] physicians that almost all alcoholics were hypoglycemic.
“We tested and tested, and he was right.”
Dr. Larson is the author of “7 Weeks to Sobriety”, “Depression Free”, and “7 Weeks to Emotional Healing”.

How to lose weight when you have reactive hypoglycemia?
Posted by admin on Oct 3, 2009
In June of this year I was diagnosed as having reactive hypoglycemia which is borderline diabetic. I need to know how I can lose weight because I am at my heaviest weight. I have been taking walks daily for 30 minutes for the pass few years. I have stopped taking walks as often since my younger brother passed in May of this.
Hey! Good for you for taking charge of your health and exercising. Firstly, any exercise is good, but there’s a lot of data to show that moderate to intense exercise for a minimum of 60 minutes a week (150-180 is ideal) is tremendously beneficial, and in particular, that interval training (alternating between [low and medium], [low and high], or [medium and high] intensity exercise is the best for both fitness and weight loss. This might mean alternating calesthenics with marching on the spot, or alternating walking and jogging (jogging and running), or walking up and down stairs.
You should discuss a fitness plan with your doctor, to make sure it’s OK.
Also, there is a recent study that shows portion control with the help of dining plates marked with suggested portions are very effective in aiding weight loss in diabetics.
