Dear reader,
Thank you for taking the time out to read this article from the Overcoming Hypoglycemia Ezine. OK so lets get started!
\"Hypoglycemia Diet\"
Are you actually Hypoglycemic?
The first thing you probably need to know is if you are actually hypoglycemic and how it is possible to find out for sure.
There are 3 main ways people normally find out if they are hypoglycemic these are:
1)A Glucose Tolerance Test.
2)Diagnosis from a doctor/nutritionist
3)Self diagnosis based on questionnaire and observation of symptoms
Now each of these methods have their advantages and disadvantages but due to the fact that less and less qualified doctors seem to be recognising Hypoglycemia as a legitimate condition more and more people are forced to rely on self diagnosis.
In this Ezine edition I want to focus on method three: self diagnosis.
Self Diagnosis
Self Diagnosis means just that, making an informed decision yourself as to whether or not you actually have hypoglycemia.
The main way of doing this is based on your symptoms. The easiest way to begin to self diagnose is make a list of the symptoms you get which you feel are related to your diet. These symptoms could be many but list them all down. Probable symptoms include headaches tiredness and cravings for sweet foods.
When you have listed these symptoms compare them to the ones found at:
http://www.hypoglycemia-diet-plan.com and

If you have at least three of these symptoms then Hypoglycemia seems probable.
It is of course not possible to diagnose solely on a few symptoms, for a more detailed and accurate way of determining whether or not you have Hypoglycemia.
So Until next time ...
Am I Hypoglycemic?
