Workbook Preview
Hypoglycemia is a condition of low blood sugar. Many doctors will tell you that hypoglycemia is very rare outside of diabetes, but many, many experts believe that it is very common and that is brought on by years of eating too many refined and sugary foods.
Hypoglycemia can be a short term episode of low blood sugar because of missing a meal or having alcohol and carbohydrates on an empty stomach, but for many of us it becomes a chronic roller coaster of symptoms. It can be overwhelming and help can be hard to find.
We need to start by learning all we can about hypoglycemia and what causes it. Start with this website and if you need more information, pick up my new book ― Hypoglycemia: The Other Sugar Disease, 2nd edition.
The biggest change from the first edition, and I think, the most valuable improvement is the addition of the new “Hypoglycemia Workbook”.
Theory is great but what we all need is a personal hypoglycemia counselor, right? Well, the new Hypoglycemia Workbook is a bit like a personal counselor. As you work on getting your blood sugar under control, the Workbook will always be there to tell you what to do next.
Here is a preview of the new Hypoglycemia Workbook. Use the Workbook after you have read the book. It will guide you through the Steps to improving your health by controlling your blood sugar.
Step 1 — Symptom Checklist
The first step is to figure out whether or not you have hypoglycemia. Use the symptoms list to decide whether or not you have hypoglycemia and just how much it is affecting your life. The Workbook includes a questionnaire that will help you create a written record of how you are doing NOW and you will be able to take it to your doctor and your nutritionist. It will also give you a starting place so that further down the road, you will be able to look back at how much you have improved.
