I occasionally get hypoglycemia. For me, it tends to be worse if I eat a lot of sugary foods the day prior and then go through a prolonged period of not eating. Like if I eat ice cream at night and then skip breakfast.

One trippy thing to try is to go on a keto diet. When your body is in ketosis, it stops using glucose as an energy source, so you shouldn't get hypoglycemia. It's actually a strange feeling. In my case, my energy level feels much more constant throughout the day.




This is what my wife did and it worked for her. She used to crash hard when eating a higher carb diet. She would hit in the 60s. After switching to keto it was more modulated and stays in the 80s.


Had great results with Keto but was effectively impossible to maintain -- too many cheap carbs, and lots of them too delicious to ignore.

Like, the keto pizza just isn't the same
