Diet for People Who Struggle With Low Blood Sugar

Low blood sugar or low blood glucose occurs when there aren't enough sugars or glucose in the body to provide energy. This can cause fatigue, dizzy spells or even fainting.

  1. Meals

    • Instead of eating the standard three meals per day, eat smaller meals more often. You may also want to eat snacks between meals to keep your blood sugar up. Stick to foods that are high in protein and high in good fats. Avoid trans fats and saturated fats as much as possible.

    Alcohol

    • Cut alcohol consumption out of your diet as much as possible. If you are a heavy drinker, you may want to slowly stop drinking, according to DrPodell.org. If you drink excessively regularly, the withdrawal symptoms that you may suffer may be severe.

    Protein And Fat

    • If you consume a complex carbohydrate, you should pair it with a lean source of protein and a fat source. The presence of protein and fat will slow down the digestion of the carbohydrate. This will keep you full longer and will keep your blood sugar level for longer periods of time.
