4 reactive hypoglyce: Eat only meat or fish or cheese or eggs or poultry and low starch veggies, drink only water. In other words avoid all carbs, carbs will only briefly raise your sugar levels and then your Insulin levels. The fats in the meat or fish or cheese or eggs or poultry will act like a "log on your metabolic fire" to keep your blood sugar stable for hours without raising insulin.

Frequent meals: As opposed to most people, those with true hypoglycemia may need to eat six smaller meals through the day in order to keep blood sugars up. As always, keep a food diary to build your knowledge about trigger foods which may make your blood sugars react either in a way that makes them go too high or too low. Some foods are definitely on the menu, and some are definitely off the menu for you!
