A member asked:
Because of very disrupting postprandial hypoglycemia i'm considering eating vegan protein powder (soy, pea, hemp, rice...) with every meal. good idea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post prandial: For starters decrease your insulin by 20%. If you are having hypoglycemia without taking any meds for diabetes (insulin or tablets) you need to see an endocrinologist as soon as possible.
