THE HYPOGLYCEMIA DIET
GENERAL GUIDELINES


The goal of treatment for hypoglycemia is to delay the absorption of food. This can be accomplished through changes in eating habits. Follow these general guidelines:
  • Do not eliminate carbohydrate from the diet.

  • Increase your intake of complex carbohydrates (starches). These foods are absorbed more slowly than simple carbohydrates and therefore do not cause rapid changes in blood sugar levels. Examples of complex carbohydrates are breads, cereals, pasta, rice, vegetables, and legumes.

  • Avoid foods high in simple carbohydrates such as jams, jellies, table sugar, honey syrup, molasses, pies, candy, cakes, cookies, pastries and soda pop.

  • Increase your intake of fiber. Fiber is the indigestible portion of Fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains. Carbohydrates are absorbed more slowly when they are part of a high fiber meal.

  • Eat Fruit-fresh of canned without sugar - rather than drinking juice. The added fiber will slow down sugar absorption.

  • Eat smaller meals with snacks between meals and at bedtime.

  • Avoid foods and beverages containing caffeine often produces the same symptoms as hypoglycemia and may make you feel worse.

  • Avoid alcoholic beverages. Alcohol lowers blood sugar levels, especially on an empty stomach.

  • Maintain of achieve desirable body weight. Excess weight interferes with the body's ability to use insulin.

  • Decrease you fat intake. A high-fat diet has been shown to interfere with insulin use. Because fat is high in calories, decreasing fat intake will also help you lose weight. If you are at your desirable body weight, replace calories from fat with calories from complex carbohydrates.

Occasionally you may need to change your plan. Here are some easy substitutions:
    Starch Exchange:
    To omit one Starch Exchange: Add Fruit Exchange.
    To add one Starch Exchange: Omit one Fruit Exchange.

    Meat Exchange:
    To omit one Meat Exchange: Add one Lowfat Milk Exchange and Omit one Fruit Exchange.
    To add one Meat Exchange: Omit one Lowfat Milk Exchange and Add one Fruit Exchange.

    Fruit Exchange:
    To omit one Fruit Exchange: Add one Starch Exchange.
    To add one Fruit Exchange: Omit one Starch Exchange.

    Milk Exchange:
    To omit one nonfat Milk Exchange: Add one Fruit Exchange and one Lean Meat Exchange.
    To add one nonfat Milk Exchange: Omit one Fruit Exchange and one Lean Meat Exchange.




STARCH & BREAD LIST

Each item in this list contains approximately 15 grams of carbohydrate, 3 grams of protein, a trace of fat, and 80 calories. Whole grain products average about 2 grams of fiber per serving. Some foods are higher in fiber.

Those foods that contain 3 or more grams of fiber per serving are identified with the fiber symbol *.
