so let’s talk about hypoglycemic

reactions with diabetes okay people that

are diabetics are taking medications

like insulin and they end up with this

low blood sugar situation it’s very

common 90 percent of diabetics using

insulin have and/or end up with a low

blood sugar situation okay so the

medical solution to hypoglycemia is a

complication of this treatment for

diabetes but if I had this condition the

question that I would ask would be why

is the blood sugars dropping down too

far in the first place okay and the only

correct answer would be

there’s too much insulin because insulin

is responsible for pushing the blood

sugars too low okay so that would be

question number one hopefully you would

get an answer to that so the next

question I would want to ask is why am i

taking so much insulin if it’s gonna

drive me into a hypoglycemic reaction

and why can’t I take the least and not

possible

because the big side effect from insulin

is damaged with the retina with the eyes

with the macula with heart

cardiovascular with the kidney with the

nervous system there’s a lot of side

effects from too much insulin so then

the last and most obvious question would

be how can I take the least amount of

insulin or medication to keep my blood

Sugar’s normal and not too low or too

high and this is where we want to pull

this book out right here

Burke’s manual and let’s see what they

say about hypoglycemia okay under

treatment

it says the single most useful treatment

for hypoglycemia that follows meals is a

diet high in protein and restricted in

carbohydrate now that’s some good advice

okay I like that advice protein will

instantly make you feel better

instead of taking sugar so that’s one

thing I would recommend and they say

restrict carbohydrate that’s awesome but

why don’t they go on to say diabetic

patients taking insulin should always

carry sugar lumps or candy with them and

the patient family and friends should be

instructed to recognize the sin

of hyperglycemia and giving the

emergency treatment mentioned above so

here’s the problem that I see there’s

this huge focus and attention on

managing this complication of

hypoglycemia without focusing on the

root issue which is basically how can we

take the least amount of insulin as

possible and to the point where maybe we

can even come off the insulin okay so

the two things that I’m going to

recommend would be to definitely lower

the carbohydrates and eat less

frequently now in the transition you

would want to add more fat to the diets

so you could go longer you’d want to do

a ketogenic program you definitely want

to do in a minute fasting because that’s

ultimately gonna bring your insulin down

as low as possible and just in summary

yes I know you’re gonna feel better by

consuming protein if you have low blood

sugars and you’re going to feel better

if even if you have candy because it’s

going to temporarily bring you up but

you’re never going to correct this high

level of insulin which is dropping you

into a low blood sugar situation alright
