Hypoglycemia is a condition most often caused by
the pancreas secreting too much insulin which causes low blood sugar levels. If the pancreas is not
functioning properly then good carbohydrate metabolism is not possible. A person who has hypoglycemia
may have the following symptoms: dizzy, tired, light headed, irritable, anxiety,
want to eat sweets, night sweats, depression, swollen feet, weakness in the legs, tightness in
the chest, nervous habits, and insomnia. People that have hypoglycemia become angry, aggressive,
and lose their tempers easily. The symptoms normally occur a few hours after eating sweets or
fats. More and more people today have hypoglycemia because of poor diet and nutrition.
Stress also is also believed to increase the risk. Hypoglycemia can also be a warning sign for diabetes.

Hypoglycemia is a health condition in which there is an abnormally
low level of glucose or sugar in the blood. Normally, this
results from the over secretion of insulin by the pancreas.
Insulin facilitates the transport of glucose from the
bloodstream into the body cells, especially those of muscle and
fatty tissue, and causes glucose to be synthesized by the
liver. If the pancreas is not functioning correctly, normal
carbohydrate metabolism is not possible. A person suffering from
hypoglycemia may display any or all of the following symptoms:
anxiety, confusion, depression, dizziness,
chronic fatigue,
lightheadedness, headache, irritability, fainting spells,
cravings for sweets, night sweats, weakness in the legs,
swollen feet, a feeling of tightness in chest, constant
hunger, pain in various parts of the body (especially the
eyes), nervous habits, mental disturbances, and insomnia.
People with hypoglycemia can become very aggressive and lose
their tempers quickly. Any or all of these symptoms may occur a
few hours after eating sweets or fats. The start and severity
of symptoms is directly related to the length of time since
the last meal was eaten and the type of foods of the meal. More and more Americans today may have this
health condition, mainly due to poor dietary habits that include eating
large quantities of simple carbohydrates, sugars, alcohol,
caffeine, and soft drinks, and insufficient amounts of complex
carbohydrates. High stress levels are believed to be a
contributing factor in the increasing incidence of
hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may be inherited, but most often it
is caused by an inadequate diet. This is referred to as
functional hypoglycemia. Many other bodily disorders can
cause hypoglycemic problems as well, among them adrenal
insufficiency, thyroid disorders, pituitary disorders, kidney
disease, and pancreatitis. Immune deficiency and
candidiasis
are strongly connected to hypoglycemia. Glucose intolerance and
hyper-insulinemia which is high blood insulin levels, producing
hypoglycemia, frequently occur in people with chronic liver
failure. Other common causes include smoking and the consumption
of large amounts of caffeine, found in colas, coffee, and
chocolate. Though it may seem paradoxical, low blood sugar can
also be an early sign of diabetes
which is high blood sugar.
Diagnosis of hypoglycemia can be difficult because the
symptoms may look like those of other disorders, including allergies,
asthma, chronic fatigue
syndrome, digestive or
intestinal disorders, eating disorders, malabsorption
syndrome, mental disorders, neurological problems, nutritional
deficiencies, and obesity or weight
problems. To diagnose hypoglycemia, a
health care provider may perform a glucose tolerance test.
However, many people have symptoms of hypoglycemia even though
the results of a five-hour test are within normal limits. Another
useful test is to try the dietary and
nutritional supplements on this webpage and
see if symptoms improve.
