Hypoglycemia: Consider taking 200 micrograms of chromium picolinate daily, which can aid in normalizing your blood sugar. However, it is best to avoid eating any kind of simple sugars, including white sugar, brown sugar, fructose, corn syrup and sugars from fruit juices. Frequent smaller meals high in protein are better for your hypoglycemia. Hope this helps you!

Hypoglycemia: It depends on the cause. True hypoglycemia -- recurrent blood glucose < 70 (especially less than 55) requires evaluation if you are not on blood glucose lowering medication.

Check insulin levels: In patients without type 2 diabetes, hypoglycemia is often due to hyperinsulinemia. Get a measure of fasting serum Insulin and cpeptide. If these are high, a low glycemic index diet coupled with glucophage (metformin) 2 g per day to reduce Insulin resistance often ameliorates hypoglycemia.
