5. Medical Treatment

In acute or severe episodes of hypoglycemia with central nervous system symptoms, physicians usually recommend ingestion of oral glucose or sucrose. This relieves the symptoms by flooding the blood with glucose but it also stimulates the pancreas to secrete another dose of insulin and the blood sugar is reduced to even lower levels than before the glucose was ingested. No good is achieved by this treatment and the condition is only made worse.

Generally, the hypoglycemic patient is advised to adhere to a low-carbohydrate diet similar to that of the diabetic. Basically, this means eating from four to six small meals a day, each of them containing a generous amount of protein. Sugar in any form is completely forbidden. Besides no ice cream and cake, this means no processed foods of any kind to which sugar has been added. Coffee, tea and alcoholic beverages are also forbidden.
