Hi Sunshine,
I wondered about your blood sugar balance because of the post before,where you listed what you had eaten for breakfast.
It was really high glycaemic load.All of those foods together would raise your blood sugar level significantly.
I have a tendency towards hypoglycaemia too but can keep it in check by eating small regular meals/snacks but also with careful combining like say for example an apple with a handfull of pumpkin seeds will keep your blood sugar steady for longer than an apple on it's own.And the kind of fruit you choose is important too,apples,pears,plums are way lower glycaemic load than others like bananas,oranges,and grapes are like rocket fuel!So it's better not to have too many of these
if you hypoglycaemic,but I grab something like that quick if I have a hypoglycaemic episode,it's such a frightening experience.But it has not happened me in a long time thanks to this way of eating/being aware of food effects...

This amazed me when I first read it but for example

10 raisins has the same effect on your blood sugar levels as 1 whole punnet of strawberries.


An example of a meal could be 1 quater of a plate of brown basmati rice ,with 1 quater protein(ex.organic chicken breast)
and half vegetables/salad.


I recommend reading
"The Optimum Nutrition Bible"by Patrick Holford or 1 of his cookbook like "The Low GL Cookbook"

I nearly lost consciousness a number of times over the years,then with the help of a nutritionist figured it out,I was getting the low blood sugar,thought I was dying,
thanks to the optimum diet I am still here &on no drugs,thankfully.

I am glad I read these books because the doctor had advised me to drink a litre of coca-cola every day.
If I had taken his advice I may not be here now.
Be warned he is still out there somewhere <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scream.gif" alt="" />

Could be adrenals like you mentioned,mine came up on the last hairtests ,I'm getting more done,now waiting for results this week,Even if it's adrenal problems ,blood sugar can still be kept mostly in order with diet.And like SoS says with herbs etc.
Licorice is supposed to be a good blood sugar balancer.
