Treatment is mainly left to diet. Here are some suggestions for people with hypoglycemia. Limit sugar and other simple sugars from your diet. Be sure not to drink sugared drinks such as soda, fruit drinks and sweetened iced tea. Caffeine tends to drop blood sugar and aggravate the entire high-low blood sugar problem.
Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, sodas and chocolate.
Eat six small meals a day, each including some protein. Mike should consume 100-120 grams of protein, some at each meal and snack. One ounce of chicken is 7 grams of protein. These foods also stimulate an insulin surge, but if eaten with protein and a little fat, the blood sugar will not fall as quickly. Fruits and vegetables do not stimulate insulin in a dramatic fashion, so they tend to be neutral.
