Accepted Answer

Paleo Diet: First, be strict regarding any testing & meds you've been given. And, this may be really good for you! the paleo diet has become very popular with people - especially men. There are web sites and books galore. The benefit is from being gluten-free and many diabetics have been found to share in this "allergy". Plus - healthy living in extra doses. Exercise, rest, water, lower stress w/ meditation.

Question 8

i'm overweight and crave sugar all the time.i have been diagnosed with low blood sugar. i never have any energy. should i be concerned about diabetes.

Accepted Answer

No: In my 35 years of practice, I have never seen a case of reactive hypoglycemia.  The disorder doesn't exist, if you're overweight the symptoms are a natural response to your glucose level returning to normal. A glucose tolerance test (if you've had one) is not and never will be a valid diagnostic test for hypoglycemia. Don't waste your money o GTT or any fad diets of treatments. Lose wt if heavy.

Accepted Answer

How low is low: Read the label and know the total carbs in it. Low carb does not mean zero carb.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Before supplements: Would suggest seeing your GP, as your fatigue may be related to a medical condition. An exam and work up will be needed.
