Low blood sugar.

[L'Ange]

Hello - I have low blood sugar problems associated with a hypoadrenal condition. I take hydrocortisone for the problem, but it does not always help with the blood sugar and when that gets low I feel very draggy and weak, don't get too much done.

I try to eat something literally every hour, even if just a stalk of celery, to keep the blood steady, but I still seem to have these "crashes" periodically. The other associated problem is wanting to lose some more weight but...when I diet I feel awful and when and if I eat too much I feel great! Yes, I am eating extremely healthily whether dieting or not.

Please pray for me to be led to know what to do to get things normalized and also btw to get off the hydrocortisone, which is commonly possible, at a healthy rate over time.

Thank you.

I've said a prayer for you tonight.

Praying that you have the wisdom necessary to combat both over-weight and low blood sugar.

(ps I also suffer with low blood sugar, and find that a biscuit, if necessary, between meals to combat the problem is best, as grains release energy over a longer period - but I suppose meals would have to contain less calories if you are trying to loose weight . . . )

I will be praying for you.

Thanks everyone for the prayers! About a day after posting this I saw the obvious as so often happens with prayers. I was taking too much chromium picolinate, in fact I didn't need to be taking any at all! When I was more overweight, because my sister has diabetes, I took that supplement as it is supposed to help regulate blood sugar as a "just in case" kind of thing. But...I am now just a few pounds over what is considered average for my height plus I've never had a high blood sugar rating.

Now that the supplement is no longer affecting me I only have mild instances of low blood sugar which I can resolve by eating something helpful. Now I can lose those extra pounds without being afraid I'm stressing my adrenals, and I have a lot more energy.

Thanks again.
