A person with reactive hypoglycemia is often treated like a redheaded stepchild, as we say in the South.
Most doctors either do not recognize the condition as a real disorder, or think it is a minor problem. Some give such poor advice as “Just eat a candy bar!”
The most important things to do to control hypoglycemia include regular, vigorous exercise, avoiding high-glycemic foods and sugar, and increasing your intake of fiber.
High fiber can stabilize blood sugar throughout the day. It also improves bowel movements and aids colon health.
