Hypoglycemia and stress are directly linked. If there is one thing that is easy to understand it is the connection to how stress affects hypoglycemia.
Your blood sugar levels determine the gradual onset of hypoglycemia, but what exactly creates low or high blood sugar? The same hormones which are released with stress in your life are the same which determine blood sugar levels. (cortisol is the most famous)
Everyday living, money, job or relationship pressures, if they become burdensome, directly affect your hormones which go on to directly adjust blood sugar levels.
It’s not easy, but you have to take control of any part of your life which is not balanced. Why don’t people in their 20’s get heart attacks? Generally, because it takes years and years of stress (or stress handled incorrectly) to give years of unbalanced blood sugar levels. This leads to hypoglycemia initially and then later, if nothing is done about it, to the dreaded heart attacks, stroke or diabetes.
Stress lasting week-in and week-out, also leads to storage of fat in the abdomen which is more bad news towards the journey of greater illnesses. Excess abdominal fat makes it difficult for muscle cells to react to insulin and hence to the balancing of blood sugar by the liver.
No doctor can solve your stress problems, in fact, he is the wrong person to go to for such matters. A big part of the solution to stress (and subsequent hypoglycemia) is down to you personally. You will need a plan and a series of guideposts and this is laid out in my e-book “The Recipe to Conquering Hypoglycemia”.
